At least raptors dont seem to pounce anymore EDIT- I just stood in my house and killed no lie 25 insect swarms in a row. They just keep coming. Theyre clearly broken.

Dov Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 they won't attack the frog, torch has the highest dps on them so far. And you have to SWING the torch, can't just stand there with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaywall Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Have to agree. Me and my wife tried genesis last night and we spent 85% of our time getting g attacked by swarms. We then decided there was no point in sitting still and building a base due to how annoying they were. So we just decided not to build a base at all and go check out the map. They are really cool but for sure spawn way too much. We’d kill 3 swarms within 10 mins and then it just starts all over again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpapathethotslayer Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 use spiked walls they cant go pass them, and it damages them or if you don't care about that just use gates or wall off your base. it works for pvp and pve cause you'll probably do it anyways.

rmnharrington Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I swung the torch like crazy at them, never hit them once. I just keep dying to the swarms over and over. It's very frustrating. I can't even get a tame because they find me from across the map and come kill me the second I step out of a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icetee300 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've gotten attacked by 7 different groups of them and when I watch them from the water after a while they mysteriously die by nothing idk how or why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compystuff Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think they should stop them from spawning constantly its not fun if you don't get to make a base because of these little craps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustProud Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Frogs, torches, bug repellent... Best bets for dealing with them. They swarm a tad bit too much I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadCityRipper Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It's stupid annoying, but if you switch to third person you can hit them. At least I can with a spear, haven't tried the torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeeshMouse Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The insect swarms are so broken: -they fly through walls -they target and break plant x crop plots -they cant be targeted by turrets -cant stop spawn by spamming foundations are we just not supposed to have plant x on genesis? i really dont understand the thought behind the swarm if these are intentional features. please remove them for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mueller Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 There are so many swarms it’s crashing my server. Spawn rates aren’t even up. We kill a swarm and then 6 more spawn to take its place... HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching to Third person is needed to hit the swarm. Seems to be a glitch (I hope), but it works. Also, I made some Bug Repellant and that kept them away.

They need to be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyHippo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 They're actually very simple to deal with when you know how. Going to water will get them off you (even just waste deep water that you can breath in,) but this is a bad solution since they'll attack once you leave the water. They can't move through walls as has been said; if you have a fully concealed structure, you're safe. The thing is, you're looking at them the wrong way. The entire swarm is just one creature, not a bunch of creatures like it looks like. They also can't go through doors (but you can hit them through doors without putting yourself in danger) The whole swarm has just one fairly small hitbox that can be pretty hard to find due to the randomness of how the individuals fly around, but it moves in a straight line to you, so if you move backwards in a straight line for a bit, then it'll be following right behind you and be very easy to hit. They also have very poor damage. Even hide armor removes any threat from them and just makes them an annoyance (and drain of fiber and hide for eventual repairs) They also won't attack you, and will stop targeting you, if you get on a mount like a raptor. Raptors also make very short work of the swarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico45 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 They were pretty annoying and attacked me during the intro speech, but I didn't have much of a problem once I figured out they didn't follow me into water and I got a mount. They are the annoying reason I prefer to start in the ocean biome, but I didn't really consider them broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to start in the ocean also because it's an incredibly safe place to get hide armor, bolas, a bow, and spears before heading to the bog where you can build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowboundGem Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I started in the bog dealt with swarms and still created a new character and got many tames, completed 7 glitches and a few arenas no issues here with the swarms. They happen just swim a bit problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyHippo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 For some reason, we discovered over on steam that going in to third person makes it super easy to hit the bugs if you're having a hard time hitting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakdrake Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I tried spawning in gillie armor and it did not work, bugs still attack in swarms and sees me right away. I dan confirm killing them in 3rf person does work. Also stood there swinging a torch like a mad man, no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
