  1. Same here. I assumed it was the surveyor running in the background, but maybe not?
  2. The Toxicology Badge could still be worth it for the Dust Resist, which is good in the upper yard for fighting termites and dust mites.
  3. It's a good feature, but it's causing crashes on XBox.
  4. I don't need to survey anything right now, and it's making my game lag. Every few seconds I get a minor lag spike as the survey ping goes in the background. I'd turn it off, but I apparently can't do that. I can only change which resource is getting surveyed. Let us turn it off.
  5. Can confirm, I'm getting O.R.C. bugs spawning in that spot too. One bombardier and two fire ants. EDIT: And an Orb Weaver Jr. I'll go ahead and file a support ticket.
  6. I thought I'd add my experience with this: O.R.C. bugs do not seem to stop coming. They seem to respawn as regularly as any other bugs in the game. Case in point: there is always an O.R.C. bombardier and two fire ants near the embiggening platform for me. I just assumed they were a regular spawn. If they're intended to be a one-time challenge only that then stops... then there's certainly a bug happening. I have NOT had them attack my base, though. They seem to spawn in specific locations, like the aforementioned embiggening platform, and don't really deviate from those areas. Maybe OP's base happens to be built in one of those spots?
  7. I'll probably end up starting anew anyway, but I did decide to load up my world from early access, and now I have a problem. The problem is the Survival tutorial quests. They want me to do things like analyze plant fibers and grass planks... which I can't do because I already analyzed them and can't do it again. As a result, I have several unfinishable quests permanently stuck, cluttering up my screen. I can't unpin them, and turning off the tutorial quests in the game options doesn't make them go away.
  8. Still waiting for these to be added. Allegedly they already have, but "options can't be changed in game" and the menu doesn't exist out of game, so in reality this menu is just a static image that does nothing. And no, I'm not going to restart my entire game and redo 194 days of progress just to change the difficulty. That is not an answer.
  9. Good idea. If you refuse to uphold your ethical obligation to the people you're supposed to represent, then the next best thing is to move out of the way so they can voice their concerns directly. Goodbye.
  10. Well, I think that says all that needs to be said, doesn't it? Like I said, the post I made was 90% upvoted, which proves that the overwhelming majority of people disagree with you. This isn't just one person having a rough time. You can't just blow this off with a video link, and a little condescending concern trolling about how you'd "love to help me." This isn't about ME being helped or not helped. This is 90%. 90% say YOU ARE WRONG. Now, far be it for me to say that you have to change your opinion just because the masses say so... however, it is more than fair to say that you should, no, you MUST acknowledge that fact. As a so-called "influencer" who creates content for the game, you are someone that the developers listen to. You aren't just making videos, you are acting as a representative for the entire player base. As such, yes, you are ethically obligated to actually represent us. Even if you personally think the game is easy, when 90% are saying it's way too hard, then you are ethically obligated to say the same, because you are our representative. I'm sorry, I know this sounds unfair - you're literally being told to give up your freedom of speech - but you're the one who wanted to be a social media "influencer". It's the same for everyone in your position, whether they be beta testers, youtubers, even all the way up to serious politicians and ambassadors- as a representative, you don't get to give your own opinions. You can have an opinion, and you can speak it privately to your friends and family who are unrelated to the issue. However, whenever you are speaking in an official capacity, either in videos, on forums, or in private communication with the developers, it is your ethical obligation to say what the people you represent are saying... or at the least, not act as a voice of opposition when the people you're supposed to represent try to raise their concerns directly. If you don't... then I'd say that shows that you're really only in this for yourself. Like so many other so-called "influencers" out there, you're not here to bring attention to the game or to help anyone... you're just here to bring attention to yourself, and have us all worship in awe of the "professional, elite gamer" who has such an easy time at this game that nobody else can manage. So what is it? Are you a real influencer who is going to actually try to positively influence things? Or are you just a "git gud scrub" person who wants us all to worship you?
  11. The Orb Weaver Jr. enemies in the hedge lab deal massively amplified damage compared to normal orb weavers. With my armor, orb weavers deal about 5-10% of my healthbar per hit. Orb weaver Jr's deal around 80-90% of my health bar per hit. I feel like this must be unintended behavior that the weaker version deals way, way, WAY more damage than the stronger version. I'm playing on XBox One if that matters.
  12. Literally the entire thing is way, WAY too hard, and most people seem to agree from what I've seen. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/GroundedGame/comments/ru78zo/basically_the_dark_souls_of_survival_building/ - This is where I posted this on the Reddit. It's got over 200 upvotes, and 90% of people upvoted it. I recognize that 90% Upvote does not necessarily equate to 90% of all players being in the same spot I am, but I do think it definitely shows some degree of solidarity. This isn't just one fringe lunatic's hot take.) Supposedly, once you've reached the end of the progression, then the game becomes easy. Making your way THERE is a massive slog. All you do is just die your way through the game, struggling against impossible challenges in an environment where intelligent strategy is punished rather than rewarded. Use a bow? The enemy runs away and gets instantly full healed. I could just exploit the bad pathing, spend 15 minutes running around a stem to get a bug stuck on it, then another 15 minutes when they manage to get off of it... until the developers fix that little glitch... or I could spend just as long save scumming and berserker charging - which is what the devs obviously WANT me to do - until I finally get lucky. And every new update just makes it even harder, with heavy nerfs to the player and buffs to everything else. And when they're not making the game harder, they're just making it more tedious. Like, what was even the point of nerfing permafood? Food isn't even the focus of the game. The focus of the game is on exploration and building. At least that WAS the focus, before they made it so my basket full of permafood I had stored (as in, the ENTIRE basket) only refills about half my hunger bar, and now I'm back to having to spend most of each in game day hunting to not starve instead of actually playing the game. Or for that matter, bandages now only giving me like 2% of my health bar back. Yeah, I love spending 6 real life hours on every "dungeon" because I have to stand around doing nothing for 30 minutes to heal after every fight. And the condescending "tips" people give are all worthless. People telling me "oh, just use the Antlion Greatsword" because they think I have one of those when I'm struggling to kill a Ladybug with my +5 Mosquito Rapier which is another thing people told me I absolutely needed but it can't kill anything... or my full set of Ladybug Armor which USED to actually be good back when I got it, before one of the brilliant updates changed it so it has about the same defensive value as a wet paper bag. And I can't even fix it when it breaks, because they buffed ladybugs to a point where my best weapon doesn't even make their health bar move, but they one-shot me straight through full spider armor. I feel like these people are just playing on Creative, and then go online to front about how the game is "way too easy" because they desperately want people to think of them as "professional, elite gamers." And the problem is that the developers can't tell whether people are playing legitimately or not, but these are the people who talk the loudest, so that's who the developers listen to. And they're trying to balance the game for people who think it's too easy because they're cheating, and the overwhelming majority of people who are struggling in the game (reminder: that Reddit post got 90% upvoted) all get left in the dust. And I can't even change it from Medium (which USED to be fine) to Mild difficulty to see if that might help without saying goodbye to ALL of my progress, because apparently being able to change difficulty in-game was just a glitch.
  13. Funny enough, I started playing at the time when the game was actually balanced. Now that it's ridiculous and you need to play on Mild, you can't change it. Oddly enough, there apparently USED to be a way to change difficulty by loading up your singleplayer game in multiplayer, but they removed it, because apparently this completely normal game option that literally every other game ever made has was just a glitch. These developers seem very actively dedicated to making a bad game for some reason.
