Safe Shallows Not So Safe Any More

So I was swimming back to my temporary sea base when I discovered that the Safe Shallows aren't so safe any more:

Yikes! :o In a previous game a reefback spawned near these coords (0,0,0) but this was a wee bit worse!

The joys of playing the experimental build. ;)

    Looks like the Creatures attacking your base feature had its first update.

    Probably just a glitch with updating old game files...

    ...but I would so love it if deep water bases occasionally had temporary 'visitors'...

    I only have a Reefback humping my pod and a Gasopod fumigating my garden.

    Had it with the Safe Shallows, I'm moving to the Lost River.

    This was a brand new game started yesterday after the Castle & Coffee update.

    That happened to me earlier this afternoon while I was playing in the most recent STABLE build.
    (brand new game-save started Thursday night)

    The thing drifted across the shallows, did a big loop and then drifted back where the Hell it came from.

    I was down in a hollow collecting a couple of Quartz crystals and just happened to look up as it sailed overhead.

    My first thought was... Oh Dear God..., where did I leave my Seamoth?!?

    < chuckle >

    Playing a new game in stable after the update: my lifepod is my castle. I'm late to my class so I turn everything off and go do my things.
    Load the game, my lifepod is 2km away from me, in the dunes biome... yeah...

    Okay...
    So I "just" have a Reefback stuck in the Safe Shallows, 2 Stalker swimming around my first base and a reaper right portside of the aurora in the flat crash zone...

    Yeah there seem to be a fair few pathing bugs going on with some creatures.

    Yup. I'm playing in experimental mode, so my game is a few smaller updates beyond that.

    In my current game I now have a reefback and a gasopod circling around that location. Wouldn't be too bad except the gasopod repeatedly gets scared and emits its clouds of yellow gas, usually just as I exit the sea base. >cough<

    Time to build a real base elsewhere.

    Could this be location related (center of map 0,0,0)? I built my starter base towards the south end of the safe shallows by the lava vent. Haven't had any of the issues mentioned here. It would be interesting to know the location of people's bases who are experiencing this.

    I wish base attacks were implemented but I don't think that they are yet. I haven't seen anything on trello yet that would indicate that it was implemented.

    Yes, I believe you're right, it's just a spawning glitch that zeroes the coordinates while placing the creature.

    This is what I'm always terrified will happen whenever I get a creature or wreck appearing where it shouldn't be.

    Yes, I have noticed this too. Whenever a reefback pops into existence it's generally on its back and has to flip over. Though I have never seen one poop :D

    Hey! I had a Reaper Leviathan migrate to my safe shallows too, in a fairly recent experimental save.

    One thing I did notice is that this one only actually spawns when I come up close after having been away for a while. I'm not sure if it migrated from one of those jumpscare lifepods or what.

    I don't go out that way anymore.

    This is a glitch!?

    Noooo! I was hoping it was an incremental expansion to the area creatures wander made possible due to anti-clipping improvements :(
