Is my save file bugged (pun intended) or not?

I started a save file in 2020 and just recently revisited it about a week or two ago. I know that with all the updates that my file may not be working properly which I totally understand. I've noticed some strange things and just wanted to know if this was accurate in terms of gameplay or if my file is weird. I have a base camp set up on the baseball as well as right on the plateau by the mysterious machine. A few days ago, I noticed a wolf spider traveling right next to the baseball -- like right smack against it. At first I thought it was a one time thing as I had never seen this within 36 days of in game play. This continued to happen relatively frequently. Then, while traveling back from the oak tree, I had just jumped on small branch leaning on a rock next to a leaf (very close to juice box) and heard a wolf spider sleeping (I'm guessing under the leaf) because as I travelled down the stick and onto the rock, he would awake and snarl. Finally, most recently being tonight, I was at my base by the mysterious machine and watched a wolf spider travel next to the machine and right to my door. At the same time, I heard the sounds of an infected ladybug fighting something (haze is still on and hasn't been turned off). At this point I stopped playing as it was a very stressful occurrence. Mind you, all of these events have been occurring during the day (as I thought wolf spiders were only mobile at night to begin with, let alone spawning and traveling in areas I've never seen them before). I used to think that my bases were in relatively safe places but now it feels like no place is safe in the slightest if this is normal gameplay. I'm hoping to get some answers from more experienced/regular players to see what's going on. Thank you for taking the time to read this long winded post!

-Hello Nycetea209

It does seem like your save has some interesting creature behaviors going on. Do you notice these same things happening if you start a new game? There were some changes made to creature behaviors and it's possible that it didn't apply retroactively to certain saves. 

If you haven't already, I recommend that you fill out a support request at https://support.obsidian.net/contact and include the following information: 

1. Platform (Xbox Console, PC Game Pass, PC Steam).
2. Multiplayer or Single Player Game (if multiplayer, can you tell us how many players in total in the game, and their platforms if known)
3. Description of issue.
4. Last thing you did in the game before the issue occurred, if applicable.

Thanks, and have a great day!
