Those reef stalkers live up to their name...

I built a scanner room and used those mobile cameras to look around for things I needed. My base is nowhere near any kelp forest so I figured my camera was safe. Then I saw the camera icon moving on its own. Tried to take control of it and found that it was in a reef stalker's mouth. My guess is a reef stalker followed it as I passed through a kelp forest right into the grasslands. And when I put the camera back onto the scanner room camera mount, it came back and stole it again. Is it supposed to do that?

And another thing. How is it that I can break a resource chunk with a tool or with just my hands, yet it is impervious to a seamoth ramming into it at full speed? :)

    In my games a few months ago, there were just so many Stalkers that if I built a Scanner Room, they would come and steal the cameras. Got to point where I just stored them in a locker in the base.

    Yeah there is one spawn point (grant there aren't but a few) where they are right in your door. I am currently playing through with such a start point and the stalkers steal me cameras if I leave them in, so... :)

    I love it when that happens...
    It means I don't have to go out of my way, to find their Teeth in large quantities.

    It may be better now. But a couple months back in Experimental there were double or triple Stalkers. EVERYWHERE in the "Safe" Shallows they were right at your door.

    Those thieving stalkers are annoying. Came back from building a way station in the tree cave to find camera 1 way out on the other side of the safe shallows.

    I would really REALLY appreciate it if the cameras were either safe while docked, or if the docks on the scanner room could open/close a shield to protect them when not in use. Something, anything... the frickin' sharks (even without laser beams) are really annoying.
