So I get it in my mind that I should collect some scans of creatures, and decide that I'm going to take a brief trip to the void and scan one og the ghost leviathans there. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? I die, I reload, everything's fine.
..... have I mentioned that I have a deathly fear of voids? If I can't see up, or can't see down, I get scared quick. If I can't see up *or* down, I get panicky. And if I'm somewhere like, oh, the Void, where I can't see *anything*? It's pants-wettingly *HORRIFYING*!
.... and that's when the first ghost leviathan spawned, and it really sank in not only how big they are, but how terrifying they look. And the sounds! Oh God, the *SOUNDS*! And of course, because the longer you're there, the more of them spawn, I had *three* around me by the time my shaking hands scrambled for the reload button.
The worst part of it? Apparently ghost leviathans are unscannable. At least the ones in the void are. Or if they *are* scannable, their hitbox is so tiny as to be invisible. So in other words, I scared myself literally to the point of nausea..... for nothing at all.
This game, Man. The things it makes me do.

only relief i ever got was stop trying to conquer/defeat them and simply coexist --avoid being within mauling distance
Being safe doesn't make me not freak out.
.... and proceed to use it once before probably crying uncontrollably, running away, and never returning. EVER!
They were almost noiseless in the past, yet when you heard them you could expect an attack soon, therefore it made sense to react and stay calm.
But now their sound going through your bones reaches you when they are still out of reach. So you can't just keep cool and flee, because you couldn't do anything then. So their big terrifying sound rage now actually makes you crazy while you have something to do, yet not seeing them, but knowing you can't risk them striking too much.
This shows how superior terror is if you can hear an enemy far before you can spot him. Thus making it impossible to stay cool and be forced to get the creeps, as you never know if he's close or still far away.
If you can hear an enemy in sight range only or when he attacks, it's far less fearsome, as you can keep cool and can react. If your enemy is silent it can be fearsome too, but without sound you can't get as nervous as with noise.
The leviathans unluckily have a too close sound range. For their size and speed to terrorize with sound, they would have to be heard 400m in advance and thus cover far too much of the map. Yet it would be worth for the increased terror.
Just try and remember the "new" Warper to feel the effect.
Oh, yes! The warper sounds are terrifying as well! Fortunately at the moment in my game, they are neutral to me (I'm assuming because I haven't 'discovered' the infection as of yet). They make terrifying sounds, but they hover nearby, just..... staring. And then warp out without ever touching me.
You know, it's weird: that's actually even scarier, in a way, than knowing they're planning to attack me. Not knowing why they just stare creepily that way, and wondering if they're going to come after me.
Reaper Leviathan roars have always been scary, in that by the time you hear them, you know they're after you and you need to run like hell. And while they're still terrifying, they have *nothing* on the screams of the Ghost Leviathans and the metallic screeches of the Warpers. Makes me want to go back to the nice safe bellowing roars of the stalkers!
Why would you go to the void to scan a ghost leviathan ?
Also yes it's intentional cuz these ones are programmed to spawn and don't have the scan option as far as i saw from the devs checkins
Because it's the easiest and quickest place to guarantee finding one without also having to worry about drowning.
Just wait till they get smart enough to open that multipurpose room like you would a can of tuna
If they can't open a Cyclops making no noise with engines off, they won't be able to open a silent base too. Sorry, it's the way the devs implemented the detection rules.
1-i don't think you can scan them but I could be wrong
2-good luck surviving multiple ghosts cuz every 10 seconds a new one spawns
you know they said ghost leviathans spawn in the mushroom something
No... No they don't.
To quote myself:
I didn't know this when I tried the first time, and thus why I tried. I haven't yet come across the one in the reef (and after having seen them in the void, I'm fine with that fact!). I assumed they'd be scannable. Alas, no easy way out there; I'll have to find one of the static spawns to complete my collection. :P
They definitely don't spawn in the mushroom forest. My present main base is in the crash zone, right above the mushrooms (I wanted easy access to both the Aurora and to Lithium), and not seen a single one.
