[0.17.x] [Need confirmation] Biters may spawn across water
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:33 pm
Hi,
My current game's base is protected by a "security perimeter" of laser towers guarding the intervals between lakes. The inside is explored and cleared of any biters. It was perfectly effective in 0.16.
Now in 0.17 from time to time I get attacks inside the perimeter. Those seem to come from newly created biter bases.
At first I thought my defenses were not strong enough and would let some biters go through. So i reinforced them. Biters don't even hurt the towers now \o/.
But the new bases keep apearing from time to time !
Looking closer on where the bases would pop, I noticed it always was near lakes where the opposite shore (outside my base) has spawners touching the shoreline.
So my idea is that the engine instead of spawning new biters in water, spawns them on the nearest available land block in the same direction i.e. the shore inside my base.
Anyone noticed such behaviour ?
