There's a mod for that: https://ficsit.app/mod/RealArachnophobia

there is always peaceful mode where dont even know you exist even if you are actively beading them to death they just ignore you.

but I am curious what about the caps/stingers exactly is keeping players away. I personally go with the cays because I find it more entertaining but I dont mind the stingers. They are tricky little buggers especially the bigger ones.

Glitch cat 4 prezident¡!¡

I have seen far more complaints about users wanting more baddies to help attract players, everyone has their own opinion but between passive mode and arachnophobia mode you are clearly just nitpicking. That is what mods are for.

[Huren Ogeko]

that is why they added that mode that lets you pick the aggression level of the fauna. but there is always mods that can take it even further if you prefer.
the devs have said many times they wont add in a tower defense type of game like you see a little in factorio. but you know they also said there would be no pipes in the game as well.

if you really to see something messed up...there is a mod that replaces the glitch cat with jayce and snutt including phrases they use as sound affects. . personally just watching the demo video drove me crazy so I wont be installing that mod anytime soon

What do you care about increasing the player base?
I'm sure I don't. I don't even think about it.

I see snutt pop in here from time to time but this not the ideal place to post suggestions or feedback. you really should do that on the main web site

tbh. I really like the spooders. Creepy crawlies don't usually get me going in games, but these one give me the hibbie jibbies in a good way

Thanks. I tried it before, it's good. But it adds a recipe with the icon of stinger remains in the build menu which is something I don't want. Also I am reluctant to keep using third party mods due to security risks. All of this is what prevents me from playing this game.

I'm using this mod since about 200-300 hours of gameplay and nothing bad happened on my end so far.
The recipe is there so that you can finish all the MAM stuff.

I want to go on record that I disagree with this post. I love the murder kittens.

Turning off the aggressive animals turned this game from an unplayable nightmare into an awesome game for me. I wouldn't have known about that switch if I hadn't asked. They should put the aggressive animal switch right up front when you start a new game.

[Huren Ogeko]

I guess that is why hey added the option. for some people the aggression from fauna was taking away from the fun of the game

I, for one, thoroughly enjoy fighting elite stingers. I hope there's a Steam Award for best monster because stingers are fantastic at startling the crap out of me while at the same time being a blast to contend with.

Having the option is the best approach. Why dictate something so subjective as the elements that make or break gameplay?

[Huren Ogeko]

I enjoy them as well....until I get tired of it.
one time I went down to the swamp biome at the wrong time and got a night time stinger spawn and Thre was like 3 spitters, 6-10 stingers with at least one elite and one alpha. it was an exciting time try to run to get them trained behind me, turn and shoot whatever I can to turn again and run another way to get them trained behind me again....eventually I either killed them or they despawned or something. maybe they just had mercy on me.

I dome mind the stingers as much as those hatchers. I deal with them by sniping them from a distance and that gets a little tedious. if I charge in to kill the spawners themselves I can sometimes get overwhelmed if there are more then 4 or so together. and they just respawn again later and I have to deal with them again if I come back to the same spot another time. I long for the days when they didnt come back if you picked up the remains...or was it leaving the remains that prevented them from coming back. I cant recall.
