Vanilla server I set up creatures starter planet do not engage?!

[Maelstrum]

All the predator creatures on my new server do not do anything except growl and stand there and let me shoot them. what the heck is going on?

Try restarting your server

[cwsumner]

Some creatures that look like predators, are not...
Although if you shoot at them they might attack anyway.

Even the predators might run away, if you kill a few... maybe.

Are you running your server on your own hardware connected to your LAN? (home internet connection)

If so, restart the server and try connecting directly to its LAN IP and port with the direct connect option on the bottom of the server browser.

You will need to use the direct connect option with the IP every time.

Outside guests can connect normally.

I have the same issue on mine if I try to connect from the entry on the server browser - This started to occur within the last couple of updates to the game.

I know that in SP raptors will per default attack the player on sight if at a few distance only. Part of their group will only start to run away if you kill or shoot some, not before. I hope this helps you somehow.

This is in multiplayer server, and the raptors are doing this on initial engagement as well entire groups of them 2-6 all just stand there growling which alerts me they are there, and when I find them in the grass (smaller ones ) the don't move at all. Not even after I shoot some, they all just are frozen in place. This also includes the Raptors I see spawning near POIs, drop to the ground growl and do nothing and let me shoot them.

try turning the AI on. I have watched Spanj have to do this. I do not know the exact command, think it is just simply AI on.

Supposedly it's just "ai".

Mind you, anything from the Empyrion wiki should be date checked, consulted with experts about, and ultimately taken with a grain of salt. It's not a very well maintained wiki. Plus Fandom is garbage water.

Just looked in bug reports forum and found this;

treker_ed has the command all caps "AI ON", minus the quotes. Just try all variations and see which one sticks. ;)

Just type "help" in the console and all commands will be displayed. You can also type "help" followed by a space and the command you want information on to get examples and proper format.
