Genesis Lunar Biome Invisible enemies?
Hi,

For some reason I keep getting damaged in the Lunar Biome.

I tried hiding behind a Shield Generator but this doesnt work. My turrets aren't seeing the enemy/enemies either. Using LeaveMeAlone or Destroy all wild dinos prevents this breaks the whole survival experience of ark.

Anyone found an solution to this yet?
Would love to prevent them from spawning in the first place.

I dont see an official fix for this coming out any time soon since this has been going on since the release of Genesis...

Edit:
I play Ark Singleplayer

You may be experience damage from sunlight exposure and/or the insane heat/cold that fluctuates within the biome.

Hello Jolla,

Im afraid that this isn't the case since I was wearing full tek armor, the place was completely covered in shadow because the sun was on the other side of the rock and I was inside my base.

I am kinda looking for a way to remove those invisible enemie(s) from the game but I dont know the class name.

There are no invisible enemies.. a drone was prolly shooting at you

I find it hard to believe it is a visible drone since the Turrets are on High Range and not detecting anything, no visible enemies nearby, and there is no projectile hitting me. Besides it doesnt matter if I walk inside or outside my shield generator, I still take damage no matter what. I am 100% certain that it must be an enemy that is attacking me since the source of damage goes away as soon as I use "LeaveMeAlone" or Destroy Wild Dinos.

There are certain spots that have like a radiated rocks or ground. I found this out too when I was gathering items. It's not a drone, or invisible animal/dino. But it is a pain in the butt, cause you cant see it before you walk into it.

I thought so too since my base is near one, but its not consistent and like I said above, the damage source disapears after I use LeaveMeAlone or Desotry Wild Dinos

if you experience it again, let it kill you to know what is shooting at ya.

When I die it just says "You Died", which is weird because the sun wasn't shining on the rocks nor was my temperature too low/high. I wasnt nearby a green light (radiation?) zone and was just on a high point of the biome on an asteroid. I was wearing fur armor tho instead of a tek suit, maybe something like space damage? :steammocking:

A meteorite, but that would be an one shot kill.
And since you said Leavemealone / destroywilddinos ended the damaging it shouldn't be environmental either.
Last option would be a meshed drone inside the asteroid was shooting at you, cause if inside the asteroid it might not have triggered the turrets cause no line of sight.

Thanks Gran, I see this as the most logic reason behind the problem. Now the question is how to Fix/ Prevent is. I say the removal of the Drone Class should be a good temporary solution. No idea what the correct Class name of the Drone is in Genesis.

i believe this is the creature ID for the drone on genesis

EndDrone_Lunar_Character_BP_C

Thanks Dave, I put this in my game.ini:

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="EndDrone_Lunar_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="EndTank_Lunar_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

I dont see the defenders nor attack drones any more, but the ticks of damage stays.

I notice the ticks of damage stay for a little while (I need to use godmode or ill die) but soon after it will go away, weird little bug it is. Especially weird is, that my Megachelon got damaged by this invisible source while it was ridden and unridden. I checked to see with SEL Spyglass mod which enemy was attacking it. And it is really strange but my Megachelon was targeting my character.



Thanks everyone for trying to help me, but I guess this bug is here to stay.

I thought the same thing but It happens randomly to unridden dinos aswell, including my Megachelon. Happens also when im wearing a full Tek suit powered by element.
