Hello, I'm playing MP with my friend and I've noticed that we don't get any alarms when biters are attacking our base, only when they destroy something which is unfortunate. I remember in older versions you get alarms for both damaged and destroyed entities. I've tried commands that I found on Wiki and when I entered "/alerts unmute entity_under_attack" in the console it said that this alarm isn't muted.

The game is lightly modded, mostly convenience stuff but also rampant, rampant arsenal. Here's the full list:
Bob's inserters; Bottleneck; FARL; Far-reach; FNEI; GDIW; Helmod; Rampant; RampantArsenal; Robocharger; Waterfill

All of the mods are updated to their latest versions and I'm not sure any of the mods could interfere with alarms especially that the "destroyed" alarm works, only the "damaged" alarm doesn't.

I'm wondering am I the only one experiencing this? Is everyone else getting the alarm?

0.17 does not have any sound for when an entity is under attack. The only sound is when it's killed. The under-attack sound was deemed too annoying and deleted.

I think that is a pity. Maybe it could come back? (Even if it is muted by default).

I don't see the reason to delete it altogether. Why not just make it muted by default and let people unmute it with a command if needed? Especially that there is already a command for this. Furthermore, this new alarm sound is much less annoying than the old one.

As it was recently deleted maybe it's possible to get it back? In my opinion you just removed a very useful feature with no reason at all as you can just have it muted by default ? I really hope to get this feature back.
