Hi,
I had been out securing my borders and had not been in my base for a bit, when I drove my train back to my base, for a split second I thought I saw a biter on my belt but then it was gone. I did not get an alert or anything.
I started doubting myself so I decided to reload an autosave. Luckily, I am not crazy and there really where 4 biters in my base just chilling.
When I got near, they started moving, 3 just disappeared in thin air, 1 attacked me.
Seems,.. buggy

Can you upload a save where I can do this?
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

Based on 47345 not a bug. It might look weird, but I think this is normal behaviour if they are not enraged and there is no player nearby.

Perhaps, but normally I'd expect a bunch of working stone furnaces to be the tiniest little bit enraging to them.Loewchen wrote:Based on 47345 not a bug. It might look weird, but I think this is normal behaviour if they are not enraged and there is no player nearby.

I *think* that they only get mad because their base is sucking up pollution. They themselves couldn't care less if they can't breathe.Lav wrote:Perhaps, but normally I'd expect a bunch of working stone furnaces to be the tiniest little bit enraging to them.Loewchen wrote:Based on 47345 not a bug.

I can understand them despawning at some point due to inactivity.Lav wrote:Perhaps, but normally I'd expect a bunch of working stone furnaces to be the tiniest little bit enraging to them.Loewchen wrote:Based on 47345 not a bug.

But they where inactive, then I activated them by getting near, so, now they are not inactive anymore and then they despawn.
Don't think that is intended behavior right?
Re: Passive biters chilling in my base till I come near
There are several independent mechanics to despawn them. The conclusion of other reports is, that unless a save with biters despawning while attacking something can be provided, it is considered intended behaviour. It may not look pretty but it does not seem to have had an overhaul since 0.9, so the bar is quite low.VonFlaffenhausen wrote: But they where inactive, then I activated them by getting near, so, now they are not inactive anymore and then they despawn.

Ok,
Thanks for clarifying.
We'll leave it at that!
