What's up with kursite events?

[Pride Lizard Pride Lizard]

Just lost a Kursite event because the bugs were just not spawning fast enough, or in thick enough groups. Is this a common issue? Because it always feels like an issue in multiplayer.

Spawning is janky; they can spawn in nearby tunnels and caves. Probably what happened.

There was barely any enemies spawning in general, in a wide open area.

"in a wide open area" means they almost certainly spawned out of the way
I had a tritylite deposit spawn the barrels 40m below on the other side of a valley; RNG is RNG

Highly irritating, ngl

It's good to check the map/surroundings before starting a Kursite event, as that guy who was unnamed points out the enemies can spawn nearby but have a very long way around to your location.

[SHEG!]

had this happen to me today. We only saw 2 within the entire time limit lmao

Rarely it bugs out, but usually it's because they are in an inconvenient place.

Imagine you start the event on a slanted cliff and you get infected macteras. These ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are absolutely capable of lodging themselves under the cliff out of your view. Stay vigilant.

It's almost as if this is a poorly designed event.

Spawning occurs in a sphere.

Use Terrain Scanner and ask Driller pretty please for some help.

Sphere? Last time I checked, kursite enemies spawned around the players, not around the event. Was this changed?

Oh well sphere around the player, then.

I just meant to suggest that the Terrain Scanner will help to see if there's any hidden areas above or below where they might be caught spawning.

If found, the Driller might be able to cut a hole directly to the area if it around a bend or through a wall, as has been my experience.

It's gotta be the longest event to do. The other events can be done in under a minute with enough skill/preparation but for whatever reason, only 1 kursite bug tends to ever spawn at a time (sometimes 2), and hide around in the ceilings for a while before coming out.

Even with skilled players I tend to always run down to the last 10~20 seconds of the timer every time. If anything, it's a huge pain to sit through. Very easy, but very long.

It should be more skill-focused. Have the Kursite chunks dissolve much faster, but make more Kursite bugs spawn at once.

Key culprits are adjacent tunnels which may not have nearby connections, or players off somewhere else & spawning the necessay bugs away from the event. Has been a problem with Ebonite since forever, most games with Kursite ppl stay near event but I have seen Kursites spawning and attacking pipes on refinery.

Another Kursite spitter issue I've seen a while back was them just climbing up very high areas out of sight & spit range. Kursite mactera are usually the most reliable to find & kill.

Check for adjacent tunnels before staring, and if Driller, make a connecting tunnel for bugs or to check on spawns.

mostly you are off by one or two so increasing the spawns a bit would help. especially towards the end the last say 40 seconds maybe spawn 2 instead of one so likelyhood is increased.
