It's not a waste of time when I have to kill an entire family of 3 or 4 Sandsharks virtually every time I reload just to keep my Safe Shallows base (and not near the border, mind you) remotely clear of predators. I don't enjoy kil… -

You can destroy eggs in the wild? AFAIK eggs hatching in the wild is just a rumor, but it would explain some (but not all) of the grossly excessive shark spawning in some spots. -

Given that the ones in the Sparse Reef seem compelled to deliberately swim through my drill bit while I'm standing still mining a node, yeah, their AI is a little weak. Something with an eye that large shouldn't get that curious a… -

Yeah, I knew it was a known bug at one time, but for some reason I had it in the category of "stuff I heard had been fixed". That card is from late 2015, so if it's the same bug from all that time, I'm pretty sorely disappointed. … -

That's what I meant by "Aurora-sized Giga-Predator". Imagine our dismay to find out the Lost River Boneyard carcass was a baby... -
For crying out loud, it's not about skill. I had the first save I started since the PRAWN update literally overrun by over-spawning Sandsharks. I mean literally swimming in the things, they were EVERYWHERE. Having watched predator populations cli…

Close enough, my Windows 7 is Enterprise but otherwise the same.
The rest of the options were supposed to be:
Emperor Leviathans (or variant)
Sea Dragon Leviathans (or variant)
Phantom Leviathans… -

And it's labeled with a "4", not an "8". Seems likely the Signal will change to match at some point.
As far as that goes, I keep finding PDAs in wrecks and in the last couple of pods (3, 13, I think) that don't downloa… -

While all that is technically true (upgraded fins, tank, reinforced suit), the first two are from blueprints in the Mountains or Dunes wrecks, which, because of Reapers, are forced to be late-game unlocks. The third isn't even in … -

Hmmm. Someone was trying to convince me this was due to eggs hatching in the wild now. I've never seen any creature eggs in the wild "pulse" like they do when hatching in an Alien Containment, except for the Ampeel eggs, and they… -

And when I click on that, it POSTS THE POLL. I've no idea. -
I give up. I can't apparently post more than 2 options no matter what I press. This forum kind of stinks.

Since the cat jumped on the keyboard and made me post this incomplete poll before it was ready, anybody know how to delete your own post or thread? There are NO buttons, no help, and no contact links for the forums. I'm astounded, but unfortunatel…

As I've been saying, this is true for individual predators or maybe pairs. But large gangs of them as appear around virtually every worthwhile resource in the game render that strategy less than effective. -

Okay, NOW you're scaring me. That's just horrendous. Wild eggs shouldn't hatch unless something kills off or despawns the original critters. The populations are already way beyond far too high!
That said, it was my u… -

On the off chance you didn't understand, I'm talking about Day 0, trying to get your very first creepvine seeds for your fins and knife handle. Most spawns put you in a place where getting eaten by multiple Stalkers near every sin… -
BTW, OP, I love what you did with the glass elbow corridors on your Moonpool there. I'm definitely gonna try that instead of ordinary windows on mine.

The devs have pointed out that discouragement weapons and damage are supposed to trigger a "find a new place to live" leash-breaking mechanic that permanently makes predators leave the area once you've messed with them. Unfortunately this has never…

Unfortunately, I think if you keep playing that save you will notice what I've been seeing. It's not just a doubling of creatures. Some part of the predator respawning feature put in a few updates ago is activating whether the or… -
Oh, and since some people have gotten the wrong idea, the original save I was complaining about was a FRESH game, brand new to the Prawn Update, not a converted save. I don't try to convert my saves. I have no idea why it was so unbelievably full …

Mmm, for the Dev's sake, I want to try to make this more accurate.
I've DEFINITELY seen something that looks like duplication behavior, even in my "playable" save that isn't completely inundated in Sandsharks. You see … -

I've actually been saying this about Stalkers for months now. How can you possibly scan one to get the hints about how to overcome them without a Stasis Rifle? No new player is going to willingly risk 30% health per bite just to … -

Well it wasn't intended as hyperbole; I described what I saw as accurately as I could without stopping mid-death to count Sandsharks. That said, it did go more or less back to something approximating "normal" upon starting a (seco… -

All I said was I tried it before in a similar situation to no avail. But as it turns out, you're right. I'd love to hear where you heard someone with similar issues started over, because I haven't come across any posts like that … -

I'm not saying I won't do so, but I DID do exactly that once, back in the Machine update. Nothing changed (this was around the time people were just figuring out the UNNANOUNCED change that Stalkers would get super-attracted to to… -

It's not that you're wrong, precisely, because that is an accurate, if incomplete description of what happens.
Most sharks do a 30% health bite, and yes, they do swim off a bit and "reset" afterwards.
It's t… -

This is the kind of thing I'm trying to raise awareness of. Apparently it ONLY happens to me, from the flak I keep getting. Half of the sandsharks that have followed me home did so by first CLIMBING up to the surface to attack me… -

The Seaglide may preserve your life, but it does not give you the means to sit and scan that fragment guarded by a full half-dozen or more very active, very aggressive sandsharks backed up by biters in swarms. You can get away... … -

Are you even reading the posts from people playing the Prawn update? Everybody who hasn't spawned in their "magic suit" to play around with it or converted an old save is saying some or all of those things. This update is as fund… -

Thanks for the support on the Sandsharks. As far as the base goes, I was actually referring more to the lack of an Alien Containment for a fish farm, making a base that is something other than a container for better lockers than t…
