I'd love this mod without MES. MES kept causing issues on my server after Apex Survival

Although as I'm using creature spawner It probably needs to added it to a mes spawn group 😂

I've worked with Tiberious before, It's simple the planet creator just need to add the subtype to their planet generator and then add this mod as a dependency

I forgot to add manners to my message,apologies for that.

My friend Tiberious1 is a planet creator and a few of his planets are on the workshop, we have a star wars server we have and now the other admins are adding NPC's.

Id love it if you could please make these lil buggers work XD

if this is at all possible id be truly grateful

could you make this work with the planet Tatooine?

I'm not going to use any hacks or old workarounds. The system in place rendering a NPC make any larger objects invisible if the root bone is off th screen (at least last time I tested). this made any large creatures flicker in and out of existence when near the edge of vision

In regards to the fellow Fremen's inquiry... there's a workaround for big-npc's that was used in a game I used to play years ago... Computer just couldn't handle big models and big hitboxes like that back then.
The strat was to make one wide, flat model that was the "center" or "heart" of the npc, and the other parts of the npc were actually separate entities that would reflect damage back towards the main piece. There were definitely issues, but it can really help bring Shai'hulud to the desert planet.
I think that's also how the big worms work in factorio too, as that game's engine wasn't made for huge, larger-than-the-screen enemies.
Hope it help, love your work. Cheers!

In time, I have a lot to update.

Will you be updating this to have them drop meat for the survival update?

Nope, you can't make big NPC things the game engine doesn't like it

Can you make a giant sandworm mod? Basically just bigger model and a big fat hp tank for fun. Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.

It's not really a Ai enabled issue it's definitely a mes issue so try the mes discord instead

@Engineer galaxy could you perhaps join the AiE discord server to get more in depth troubleshooting and be able to exchange logs and perhaps provide an example world file of the problem with minimal additional mods? (note if what I suspect is correct and it's in the storage settings files, the issue will not be reproducible for another user.)

Might be as simple as removing the mes settings files to let new ones populate. (At this point I assume they have installed the mod on a preexisting game and the MES creature spawner setting didn't trip with the addition of Planet creatures.

I grilled the mod but it doesn't work I don't know what's wrong ((((

I won't do that, it's incredibly simple, you subscribe to the mod, add it to you world via in game menu and it will load.

can you record a video on how to install the mod correctly and what to do to make the worms start appearing

I entered the commands that you wrote, nothing happens

use command "/MES.GESAP" in the chat then paste the results into a notepad or similar if its working the sand worm spawn group should be at the end.

Well, I'm on the planet Pertam

and how to specify it? I just installed mods everything and waited until I was attacked, no one came or do I need to build a large base?

I've definable seen them recently...

Should work as long as it is the planet subtype is one listed and combat mode is disabled

how do they work on my pertam they never appeared?

It was fixed before, I guess it's super fragile

Hm, you're right, spiders are also just as annoying. Do you know of any mods that fix that issue? Or is it just yet another backlogged low priority Keen fix.

That's a issue with the keen behaviour, the same thing happens to spiders

Any way to improve the hitboxes on these things? I swear I can never hit them. They seem completely invincible 90% of the time.

From what I can tell, most of the issue is they aren't shootable when they are doing their digging animation, which they are doing almost non-stop.

I don't want people to get surprise worms because a planet has a bit of mars sand in its configuration. It has planets specifically chosen

Any way to make this work on any planet categorized as alien or mars-like? I think it would be great to see these spawn alongside spiders and your other alien animals mod

i have mes a a, l c e+f, e a, and wreckage

i have 4 + sand worm

Something seems to interfere with spawning, do you have a lot of MES mods?

i was on pretan for 2 hours and no sandworms

do the sand worms have a timed spawn

That's certainly something...

Very creative video, almost monty python

It's so good to have a creature in SE other than the 6-legged bugs. Thanks for this! Two of your worms make an appearance in part 3 of my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1MRIIGKOm4&list=PL-zbRw7CgFKXNY4KCvLXrkTBKVUjDsZNG&pp=gAQBiAQB

Glad to hear that, thanks for checking. Good luck with finding the conflict. Could be some load order issues

Hey mate, just a quick update. I've done some testing and can confirm that Sandworms do spawn on Satreus. I tested with only the planet, victims of clang and sandworm mods (plus dependencies) and it all worked as intended. Something about my mod-list is causing them not to spawn but I haven't figured out what just yet.

So yeah, nothing wrong with your mod it's user error :D Thanks for all your help

I think because it shows up in /MES.GESAP everything is set correctly perhaps there is another mod that is changing the spawn priority

Ideally uploaded to steam and message me on discord

I checked the subtype ID and it looks correct. How do you want me to send the world to you?

I would have to have a copy of your world for testing. Best guess is I don't have the right planet subtype

The vanilla spiders are spawning without issue (no manual commands), but the Sandworms don't spawn at all either with or without commands.

What do you mean naturally?
If they are spawning what is the issue? Is it planet specific problem?

Not sure if this helps but spiders do spawn naturally

Yep, I get the message onscreen that the command was sent, but still nothing happens.

Have you tried /MES.SC to force a creature spawn?

Nope combat phase is disabled in the settings.

Check if combat mode is enabled, you don't get animals is it on.
