I built next to the chill crabs. Now they keep stomping on my house and pooping at my door.
Hello divers! I just built my first proper base near those giant crab-like creatures, because they seemed way calmer than all the other nerve-wracking pests out there.
That changed as soon as I placed my first room. Since then, their behavior has been really strange: they keep spawning nearby, walking straight toward my base, grouping up around it, bumping into it, and stomping on the ground. At first I thought it was just unfinished or buggy AI and that they were getting stuck, which it definitely still looks like, but now I’m wondering if they are actually supposed to attack or damage player structures.
What makes it even weirder is that their stomping or attacking behavior seems to spawn resources sometimes. So then I thought: maybe they’re supposed to dig stuff out of the sand or something?
And then I found this beauty right in front of my door, lol.
Does anyone know what the intended behavior for these creatures is? Are they supposed to be hostile toward bases, dig up loot, or maybe both?
