[Oxyd] Blue biters vanish suddenly
I am Nic and I love to play games - the more unique the game concept is, the more I am up to buy a game and support the developers with my ideas.

That's by design. Previously they would die: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... die#p16823
It's a mechanic to prevent biters from building up over time and never getting anywhere slowing down the game.

If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Yeah, but there's no obvious reason for them to do that in the situation in the video.Rseding91 wrote:That's by design. Previously they would die: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... die#p16823

Please post the save where you can reproduce this situation.

Re: [Oxyd] Blue biters vanish suddenly
Okay, fixed in 0.12.11.
This was triggered by a piece of code that deletes units like this when they're far away from their spawner and can't return back for some reason. In these cases, we generally want to just remove these units as they would just keep hogging the CPU whilst stuck in some weird place that made it impossible for them to return to their spawner in the first place. The bug was that this code didn't check whether the biter even wants to go back to its spawner, and happily removed biters mid-attack.

Thank you for this detailed explanation - it is very interesting
