Not sure why, but the infestation has spawned on my grid. I haven't connected it to any other grids either.

Not just compatible it is necessary
Blade001 24 Oct, 2024 @ 5:04pm 
Is this compatible with the Modular Encounters System and it's addons?
Chipstix213 23 Oct, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
No it's terrible enough 😂

Really like the mod, but it changes all lights on the grid to green. Would be cool if that was configurable, for now I have to disable it. Dont want my grid to be all green!

May have discovered a bug then. Seems like they've infected my grid on a new world. Still building out a starter base and have definitely not connected to any other grid. I'd be happy to provide logs if they'd be helpful. Please let me know if you'd like me to do that.
Chipstix213 31 May, 2024 @ 11:53am 
They spawn on NPC grids but can infect your ship if connected
JustBard 31 May, 2024 @ 10:39am 
Do they only spawn on NPC ships or do they also spawn on your own grids too?

one day I'll finish that one

we need the stargate replicators
Chipstix213 1 Feb, 2024 @ 6:40am 
I've been working on a replicator model but it's been a low priority project
RougeSable 1 Feb, 2024 @ 3:49am 
A version with replicators (less... 'spiders') and I'd install it!
Chipstix213 19 Nov, 2023 @ 10:19am 
Should only be one or two that sounds like a "bug"
HAVOC5150 19 Nov, 2023 @ 6:05am 
the spiders take thousands of bullets. fuuuck that
Airomis 11 Oct, 2023 @ 9:43am 
I really like the idea of this mod but I don't care for the player friendly bots, is there a way to keep this mod without the bots ai dependent uses
CynicDragon 16 Sep, 2023 @ 4:58pm 
I really like this mod, but I need a chat command to chance the spawn % chance, 20% is WAY to much. Almost all ships, trade ships and even stations! Are all being infestation and disabled, and then crashing
Keltskiy 15 Aug, 2023 @ 12:19am 
@Chipstix213 Where did you come from lmao, Yeah I agree.
Chipstix213 10 Aug, 2023 @ 10:49am 
I should really finish that....
Keltskiy 8 Aug, 2023 @ 9:58pm 
Is there a version of this that uses Replicators from stargate?
Chipstix213 31 Jul, 2023 @ 11:58pm 
You "burn them all" I think
TheGamingNot 31 Jul, 2023 @ 11:44am 
how does one remove an infestation from a ship
Gemini Sierra 17 Jul, 2023 @ 6:12am 
don't have to enable that, last I checked... just connect your grid to the infested one... and you will get the infestation... the little bug-gers get through the conveyor system
Into 16 Jul, 2023 @ 10:13am 
How can I enable to infest player grids as well?
Sworn 5 Jul, 2023 @ 1:47pm 
Meh, I really like the idea here, but had to disable it, it is way to inconsistent, doesn't persist the infestation after reloading, so after playing for like 10 hours, you will have like 6 to 20 ships just floating around, where none of them are infested anymore...

When I started this play, first neutral base I found was infested, was a good thrill to savage some stuff and run away, but second time I went back there, they were gone, that just kill the vibe. Same for the ships, we would have to have some kind of different control when they spawn on ships, its is cool to see them from time to time just floating like dead ship, but then you board and it is empty...
Sworn 29 Jun, 2023 @ 4:30am 
Yah, please, same issue from BadDaddy,

it is not really an issue at first, some ships will spawn near by and freeze there like some fault functional or infestation that killed everyone and damaged the ship, which is cool, but after a while, you start to have tons of ships just floating around... I think this is only a chance problem, maybe reducing it a little bit.

or we could add something like, after deciding if it should spawn an infestation or not, than it would have more like 80% chance of spawning it as "sleeping or growing state" so they just hang in there for like 10 minutes, so if the ship get despawn then nothing happens, and we still have 20% chance over the initially 25% to still damage the ship and freeze or crash it
BadDaddyLama 16 Jun, 2023 @ 4:32pm 
Can you put a Block blacklist in the config please - spawns are attacking new NPC controller blocks in ships from other mods uncontrollably, freezing ships in air around the 5k distance till they run out of fuel - they attack this first and fail to attack other blocks after doing so as well (yes the spawn ratio is turned down) It would allow for different outcomes as well anyway...
Please, Thank you and ta : )
Chipstix213 27 May, 2023 @ 10:55pm 
Before you copy the grid ensure keep original owner is enabled
Vokun Vulon 27 May, 2023 @ 5:03pm 
So if we made something, set it to NPC ownership, that is then eligible for infestation, so can we paste things under npc ownership directly or does it then paste it under our ownership? I actually don't know here.
Assuming we can paste it as an npc ship we then just have to paste it enough times that it spawns infested right?
Can someone confirm if we can do this?
Fuedrakia 21 May, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
Jesus this mod scared the crap out of me today.

So I recently built myself a ship grinder as a derelict had come floating into my system and I decided fuck it I want all that scrap for my asteroid base. Where the jumpscare comes in is that I forgot to check the ship to see if it was bloody infested, so after I grind up the ship and head back to my base to deposit everything via the conveyors, these things start to flood my base a few moments later, sending me into a right panic.

Definitely going to be more wary now, so thanks for that.

Thank you very much super cool!!! :)
Patrick  [author] 30 Apr, 2023 @ 3:28pm 
@Void, any ship in the game, or spawned by the game, which is owned entirely by an NPC faction, is eligible to spawn an infestation. I'm not sure if the small spiders will fit in the Willis Ducts, but you don't need to add anything -- this mod already uses the small spiders for everything.

@Jason Goodrich, this mod is compatible with Sketan's alien mod, as well as the Babylon 5 Shadows mod, and every other "spider" mod I've seen.

@Omni, yep, this will work with any MES mod.

@Dying Dark Star, have I got news for you...
Dying Dark Star 20 Apr, 2023 @ 2:33am 
it would be interesting and cool feature if you weren't careful your ship can get infected.
omni 14 Apr, 2023 @ 3:55pm 
this seems like it will work well with some of the MES wreck and abandoned base mods
[B.A.C.M] jason_goodrich2001 14 Apr, 2023 @ 11:56am 
Void excellent idea, did you know there is also an alien mod by Sektan, I Hope these two can be compatible so much. then we will only need acid blood, eggs and facehuggers :). been waiting for this for so long
Void 14 Apr, 2023 @ 6:53am 
@Patrick, I love your mod, but with the new update I was wondering if it were possible to infect a custom ship? Eg I build a ship then somehow cause spiders to spawn on it
With the new wills ducts I was wanting to add the small spiders mod and have a infestation, and have them run around in the ducts
Borkineer 3 Apr, 2023 @ 1:27pm 
I get an error for a missing texture/faction icon. is this something that was removed? The missing icon in question is \Textures\FactionLogo\BotsIcon.dds.
Patrick  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 10:51pm 
They shouldn't be. If it's happens consistently, please go to the Discord and file a bug report.
weberspy 31 Mar, 2023 @ 4:40pm 
too bad this doesn't come with a flamethrower. but seriously, the tiny spiders are immune to grinders. idk if its SE's fault or the mod though
CynicDragon 26 Mar, 2023 @ 4:16pm 
yup he used to be a space engineer! lol
Patrick  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 10:28am 
Haha, that was great! I didn't know Joey used to be a space adventurer, too!
CynicDragon 24 Mar, 2023 @ 5:07am
