I am just posting this to ask if there are any other issues that need brought to mind. I regularly fight the wolf spiders in the oak tree around the ant mound, every so often however one of the spiders will smack an ant and cause that ant and any other in the radius to aggro me. I have seen them gang fight stinkbugs when lured. With the wolf spiders however they want to attack the player character over the creature that attacked them (wolf spider) I have had this result using melee weapons (ants were behind the spider so no cleave/splash to the ant) and ranged weapons where i hit the spider only (1 shot to pull it) Have had similar results with ladybugs where a passing mite will be attacking me miss and hit a roaming ladybug. Ladybug aggro's mite and then will sometimes (40%) ignore the mite and try to kill me. I agree that there should be some level of faction aggro and I would love to see more interaction between the insects in the yard, but there seems to be something going on with wanting to fight the player > everything else.

Here's my outline for mounting mechanics. I'd like these to be engaging and unique, and fit the style of Grounded as closely as possible. Ladybug The Ladybug seems to be the perfect ride, but she also has some fight in her. Once tamed, she can be used as a pack mule, or a war mount. This starts by choosing a saddle, which will either be a War Saddle, or a Pack Saddle. The war saddle will be large, and consist of tough outer armor, and a comfy spot for her chosen warrior. The pack saddle sacrifices comfort for storage, allowing you to attach acorn chests, as well as pile on grass planks or weed stems. Initially, she will be limited in her abilities, but by accessing a menu, you will be able to provide her various cooked meals to upgrade her stats, such as carry capacity, max health, movement speed, and max stamina. The saddles themselves can also be upgraded, but you must be sure that her carry capacity allows for this. The pack saddle should be unlocked around midway in the game, allowing you to carry large quantities of supplies as your base ideas become more ambitious. The war saddle, however, will be a late-game unlock, but you can swap these saddles at any time, so be sure to tame that Ladybug as soon as you can. Keep in mind, however, that saddles can only be carried on your shoulder, and can only be stored on grass pallets. Bee The Bee is a dutiful and speedy insect, adept at flying high above the action, and all across the yard. Because of this, it seems only fair that they aid you in your quests, given you can earn their favor. In order to do this, you must construct an offering, which looks a lot like a flower. From there, you must keep it chock full of that sweet, sweet nectar. If a bee stumbles upon your offering, she will return there the next day at the exact same time. Be sure to arrive on time, and you will slowly gain her trust. Upon the 3rd consecutive day, after collecting the nectar from your offering, she will begin to follow you. You have until nightfall to offer her a Petal Bow, which will allow you to keep track of her as she buzzes around the yard. You have now tamed a bee! But you aren't even close to riding her yet. To do that, you'll need a Sleek Saddle, crafted by rare end-game materials. You also need to continue to maintain your offering, as well as spend time with your bee to increase her trust to the maximum level. Only then will she allow you to place the saddle, and finally ride off into the sunset. There's no choice for combat when riding a bee. Not only is she non-confrontational, but she definitely doesn't want you to get hurt! Ain't that sweet?

Started a world just like any other and everything was normal, but 20 days in the ladybugs just vanished from the garden, can't find them anywhere and they're not spawning, now i'm stuck at quests because i need to analize ladybug parts, is there any workaround for this bug?

I've been playing the same game for about 12 hours since release, and me and my son have reached a point where we're ready to tackle ladybugs. However, after looking for several in-game days, all around the map, we have yet to find anymore ladybugs. When we first started, they were all over the place. Now, there don't seem to be spawning. The only thing I can figure is that there is a limit to how many bugs can spawn in any given world and the Larva seem to be over spawning especially underground. I probably killed 20 of them underground (standing on a quartzite) and I got tired of killing them before I just left with more larva bits than I know what to do with. The other reason I've concluded this is because near my camp, on certain times during the day, a train of about 15 - 20 larva move in and out of hole in the ground. Also, this is impacting gnat spawn rates.. There are no more flying around the water sources, but that isn't halting my progression.

Ladybugs are getting stuck inside the rocks near the pond and also the roots of the great oak tree.
