Do you have other mods that may be causing your issues?

I thought so too then I turn off all other mods refresh rampant settings and still get eaten... fresh tested

they also send attack waves if there pollution cloud, meanwhile debug messages keep saying they are peaceful. just want some 1hour "spare me time" so I can play with 600% bases.

New bug - popup when defending against large group.

The version of Rampant - 3.1.2
What is your map evolution - 91% last I checked.
Was Rampant added at the start of a game - yes.
A brief description of what you are experiencing - Fighting off a large group while trying to rebuild defenses. Screenshot:https://i.imgur.com/gfF76UL.png
A brief description of want you are expecting - Not crashing/erroring.
What mods are you using - Lots. See zip link below.

UPDATED SAVE GAME: https://anonfiles.com/eeI25eAeye/Mark-Base_zip
Error is triggered within a few mins of running game.

Biter bases in my game seem to be in inactive for hours, maybe always. One part of my base, to the north, that have leaked a lot of pollution for hours just leaks that pollution into inactive nests. They do somewhat activate if I go near, but there's not much attacking going on.

The version of Rampant : Rampant 3.1.2
What is your map evolution: 0.6774
Was Rampant added at the start of a game: Yes
A brief description of what you are experiencing: Bases go inactive for hours at a time. Biters don't move. Attack waves not forming.
A brief description of want you are expecting: Bases going inactive not at all or much shorter time. Biters moving and attack waves forming often.
What mods are you using: See images below. The images are in reverse order

I attached a save file and a map image. If you go around the base exterior walls you can see almost no movement, and to the north where pollution leaks and is absorbed by bases there are almost no attacks(if any at all from pollution, maybe raiding happens sometimes?). Is the map to big and processing chunks and bases takes so much time that Rampant doesn't work as it should? Can't imaging playing without Rampant anymore

Are there something in the lua script I can tune or change? Process more bases per tick or something?

It stutters hard.

IhVy0c.mp4

This has to do with the number of entities that Rampant adds to the game.

To reduce this stuttering the number of Rampant variations loaded into the game need to be reduced.

I am using Rampant 3.1.2, Factorio 1.7.0 and just the normal Bob's mods.

Save attached.

There seem to be very few biter bases. Like a few to the south and the ones to the north I completely wiped out. There don't seem to be any new bases in unexplored areas. It seems like there should be much more at this point in the game (fairly late, I'm polluting like a boss)

The map can also be seen here:
https://bulk.1209k.com/factorio/Bob2022 ... 2/559/0/60

Running 3.1.2, getting the following non-recoverable error after changing biter factions mid playthrough:

Modlist:

I realise that this may not be fixable, I was wondering if I could change something in the baseutils file to fix it?

It seems I have the same problem as above. Mod version is the same. Error is:

I did change the factions mid game, I started with all deactivated and then activated just the common biters (not enough RAM for more)

Curiously, the error seems to not happen until I start researching something. Then it always crashes.

Save file attached. I would really like to solve this, as I love this map and really dont feel like restarting again, its already second restart. It does seem to f*ck with mods, as I had to turn off several that worked flawlessly up till now. I am goint to try deleting chunks, maybe the entity causing the error will go away?

EDIT: I flushed the cache by changing settings of the mod (just added another faction) and then loading the game and the error seems to have gone away. But it probably will be back later, so I would still be happy with an answer

[Placeholder for save]
Experiencing huge lag on my save.

Does the scaling works with vanilla biters (i.e. no factions enabled)?

bug caused when playing rampant version 3.2.0
evolution factor is 0.6896. time 12%, pollution 41%, spawner kills 47%
rampant was added at the start of the game

game crashes, playing multiplayer with mods, mainly K2 and some smaller stuff, while doing some expansion if that matters
upon death of a biter or base the following occurs
The mod Rampant (3.2.0) caused a non-recoverable error.

marked location of player in the midst of expansion when bug occurs

Hello,

today I've updated to 3.2.0 and started experiencing a strange behavior with the attacking groups. Instead of grouping together in their nest and then walking towards my base, they just teleport to their first waypoint and then continue walking.
This means that sometimes an entire group spawn right in front of my defensive walls, making a massive hole before I can deal with it. And other times, when nests are further away, they teleport to their gathering point and then continue on foot.

In addition, biters are now laying down landfill when walking in or near shallow (walkable) waters. Is this intended?

I believe this to be a bug, since I only noticed it started happening today, after I updated to 3.2.0.

Rampant enabled since game start.
Rampant Arsenal 1.1.6 added after start, but experienced no issues until Rampant 3.2.0.

Mod list:
- Space Exploration 0.6.104
- Krastorio 2 1.3.18
- Rampant 3.2.0
- Rampant Arsenal 1.1.6
- LTN 1.18.3
- HeroTurrets 1.1.21 (does anyone know how to enable tech upgrades for flamethrower and gun turrets? It's kind of silly that a rank "General" turret has 1/3 damage of base turret...)
- Fireproof Bots 1.1.3
- Squeak Through 1.8.2
- VehicleSnap 1.18.5

Kind regards,
Brko

I was playing a game with both Natural Enemies Evolution and Rampant installed, I was pretty happy with the balance of the Rampant AI combined with the NEE enemies but had research costs cranked really high and got wiped by brutal biters once they showed up. I attempted to turn off all Rampant factions (leaving in NEE enemies) and after loading the save it worked correctly for a few minutes before this crash occurred.

I have:
ChangeMapSettings_5.0.1
even-distribution_1.0.10
Natural-Evolution-Enemies-Research-Fix_1.0.2
Nova-Natural_Evolution_Enemies_1.1.01
Rampant.3.3.2 (was previously 3.3.0 I think? but updating to 3.3.2 didn't fix)
Squeak Through 1.8.2
VehicleSnap 1.18.4

I would like more information on how Rampant generates new biters and spitters. They have a favorite place to gather in high density, and I have tried to eliminate any spawners that could supply them. I haven't found mobile units marching in, but I'm not watching continuously.

Also, I have seen squads just vanish. Can they spontaneously appear?

I have seen a squad of dozens bloom from a small team of 4 - 5 marching. Can that happen from none at all?

Is there some documentation on how Rampant works?
