Gasopod Aggression

Hello,
I'm playing on the latest experimental build and started a new game. I made a small base and noticed that the two gasopods in the area are constantly setting off their poisonous projectiles, even when I'm nowhere near them. As a result there's a lot of dead fish floating around above my base and the poison clouds often harm me even when I'm in the base. I ventured further afield and all of the gasopods are doing this.
Thank you for your time.

    they just dont like you :) ... as i see on your pic - you build your base dirrectly on they own territory. and what you want in result? they just guarding their home. at first - its THEIR planet, and at second - its THEIR home' crater

    They never cared about it on my last few saves when I built in that location (I quite like the crater). :p
    But it's not just those gasopods in particular- all of them are releasing their poison clouds when there's nothing around to harm them, and they do it constantly. Normally you have to get very close to them.

    Seems like an odd bug. Fauna tend to stay around where they originally spawn, so the next time just try and build a base away from them.

    Alternatively, you can probably use the propulsion cannon to send them to the next ocean over, as a quick fix.

    The gasopods are killing lots of fish even if you don't build near them. I also have noted this behavior.
    Experimental build. I being no where near the gasopad agro radius and then some fish swim to close to them, get gassed.

    Gasopod on a rampage because all the other fish call them ugly. lol

    And why not? Did you see their 'tail'? Every respectable fish has a 'fin'-style tail but not looking like a 'malice'... realy ugly... :smiley:

    If you don't notice yet - all creatures 'switch on' its own aggression. I saw fight electric warm versus bone shark. Game to become more interesting and difficult - all want to eat each other and you too :) I like it!

    I've noticed this as well, and I really don't like it. They'll just be randomly shooting of gas, and it decreases my enjoyment of the game in the safe shallows. It's just too much of a hassle to do anything there sometimes.

    I used the Gasopod as a early warning device, to know if a Stalker was around, if I heard the gas pops I would look around for the Stalker. The Gasopod was nice to have around to help the diver as a look out.
