After updating to 0.16 and loading up a 0.15 save, I noticed that the biters would no longer attack my base even though they did quite frequently before. They still attack if I get close but otherwise the biters just build up without attacking. Also, the combat achievement is now disabled from biter settings being too low, but I'm not sure what my biter settings were when I created the save (I definitely didn't have peaceful mode though).

Post the save please.

Sorry, here you go!

I Started a new game in 0.16 and bitters won't attack on pollution trigger. If i get close to base they will attack normally. Peaceful Mode is off.
I seem to have similar problem as original poster, only difference is that I started a New Map on 0.16.

I've tried the console commands to try and reset the bitters by killing them all but that did not work for me.

Same, 0.16.5, started 0.16, "hmm, it's been too long since I got biters". They're just wandering around in diffuse swarms around their bases, I actually got one attack in the NE against my uranium mine semi-recently, but all the south ones that were attacking early game stopped, and the others haven't attacked much/at all either. It also looks like there's been way less biter expansion than I'd expect.

I do not think it is only in 15 saves, though i am seeing that issue.
I started a new world in 16 and seeing the same large congregating and not attacking even right next to a huge smelting station.
They do not see to attack the same anymore.

This should be fixed in 0.16.7 which is currently out.

yep fixed on my map. thanks

was just coming here to say i think they fixed it

Can confirm that 0.16.7 fixed it for me. Thanks!

I've got that issue with the latest stable now.
The bitters don't attack anymore although they should (caused by pollution).

I've even checked whether the mods do affect this and noticed that after adding bob's warfare the attacks stopped and even removing it didn't help fixing it.
Did someone face something similar?
