Sentinels always in Settlement

[Aoi Arashi]

I know sentinels spawn fairly frequently, but every time I port in? Yes, every single time I teleport to my settlement, sentinels spawn. If I fly in by ship, they seem not to.

[Octavus]

They miss you. Go say hi.

Hmm. I remember that sentinels spawn/load like any other scenery. I had a sentinel that spawned in my base in the same room all the time. But now we can destroy the sentry pillars, it can help...until a companion joins you (sync about the sentinel pillar state).

Code to optimize resources ? Not loading entities if not needed ? It seems.

Maybe I'm completely wrong about this and just don't understand your question.

Is there Sentinel Pillar around?
If yes , then pull the plug 🔌
If not... Circle the wagons...

[Erich]

What is the effective range for regular sentinel?
These 🤖🤖👾👾 always showing up out of nowhere 🙄.
Who is in charge of Intelligence Service in NMS Universe ?
Yes, I know about their mother tracker ships.

You can explore without any lag, but the content takes time to generate. Likewise with sentinel patrols.

This leads to them appearing at your feet when you stop doing "sprint-melee-jetpack" for example.

Measuring instrument: With a wet finger.
- The radius to trigger the spawn ? 50m ???
- AI radius to detect players ? 20m ???

I was curious about this myself. Every other time I port to my settlement, I have to destroy sentinels before I manage the settlement. I was hoping there'd be some security structures or guard towers or something that'd be available. Its bad enough the settlement is 700K units in debt and counting.

Literally the Sentinels Pillars. The sentinels will return if a companion joins you until they also deactivate one of these pillars.

[James Bataille]

And maybe I m wrong and you'r speaking about the settlement event with the sentinels....

[Aieonae]

Yea I think op might have left the settlement unattended for quite sometime to accumulate these much sentinel attention.

It looks like a world generation (sentinels spawning mechanism),
but it could be a bad loop...
Or maybe a sentinel stays hidden in a building and when it comes back... of course the mission is still active and...
Or the normal sentinel event at the colony but it doesn't realize how much time it played between 2 attacks (:p)
hmmm...

It doesn't meant OP had not been absence for 1-2 distress before these visits or in between? May be OP can highlight more on this?

From personal experience 1-2 miss opportunities with the settlement distress is sufficient enough to accumulate distress attention to call in almost constant pirate raid or sentinel strike upon every visits.

Which is one of the reason I resulted in a kinda "Preston Garvey" situation in my survival play which I had been particularly reluctance to play nowadays.

[dreamrider]

Are they the red regular Sentinels, or the purple corrupted ones? Does a Hardframe show up if you kill some of them?

There are two reasons that a Sentinel patrol harasses the village. Need to know which kind it is.

[Symfreddy]

Do you kill all sentinels or just hide in a building and flee each times ?
If the sentinel level is at 100% on your settlement you will have the same spwan until you kill all sentinels (corrupted ones) and reset the process. The next time you will not have sentinel (but later... !). Some newcomers peaple perks can reduce the rate of spawn (and some buildings too, you have to do some choices)

[dolmore]

It also depends on what kind of planet your settlement is on. I had one once on an extreme world with high sentinel activity that was constantly under attack (even after destroying the nearby pillars). My current settlement is on a paradise planet and i rarely have sentinels coming around.

[Symfreddy]

so you should find another attlement, bad luck
