Castaway on the Moon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 OK Guys here we go... Rock Lobsters have taken over the overworld. It's very frustrating because they continually spring my 50+ tooth trap field, they slow down graphics, they're ugly and... wait for it... THEY KILLED ALL THE BUFFALO. That's right, I have no buffalo left. I'm assuming they were in heat and attacked, but this endless and perpetually growing army of undefeatable rock lobsters have managed to kill them. It's a very sad sad thing. Luckily I was able to make many Beefalo Hats before that but it's just so sad I loved those guys. The problem is this... something must have broken, because it all began when just 4 of them followed me back out of the caves. I didn't think much of it until a few days later there were about 15 around the sinkhole. Over time there began appearing masses of them in different areas of the map??? I'm talking over 50 in total. It was after their beefalo genocide that I decided to take action. I mined for 2 days to get enough rocks and flint and I took it upon myself to get them back into the caves. I used my 3min timer and grabbed them one by one, about 20 at a time or so, then jumped into cave. Then repeat. I did this for 3 days and I used my walking cane and checked EVERY CORNER of the map around where they were. Now... I can't go into the caves without having to reset the game several times to even be able to move anywhere near the entrance because of the graphical overload of 30+ lobsters walking into the wall. It's a slideshow literally at that point. ANYWAY...... about 2 days later I saw more again. It's been 10 days and there are at least 40 again. I don't know how this happened I honestly took very great care to look in every single edge of the map and corner for stragglers and yeah something terrible has happened. On top of this, I actually saw a bunnyman in the swamps =\ I've never even once fed a bunnyman bc I don't like them. this is so so bad I hate it they're taking over my world slowing my game, walking through my camp and bee farm it's just so cruel tehy won't leave me alone. Questions:HOW can they reproduce so quickly and never stop? WHY do theyand how in the world are they still coming out of the cavespls fix? I love this game and it's been nearly 300 days but it really hurts to continue now Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/28714-rock-lobsters-destroyig-my-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazmatic Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 And "we" are always complaining the bats are the only ones that invade the surface after you open up a cave Rock lobsters are the new rabbits and Beefalo. The thing is, you gotta stay with them, they won't do their thing when a non Rocky is watching them (before you ask, they do not mind Sylvester Stallone peeking) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/28714-rock-lobsters-destroyig-my-game/#findComment-342188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Letter W Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I brought one up and it had a child. That's about all the experience I've had with them.

Castaway on the Moon Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Haha well like I said, it's their uncontrollable self-breeding that's the problem! There are now - and I'm not exaggerating, about 80 of them roaming my lands. It's depressing because they're ugly and ruin the landscape. And like I said they killed all my map's beefalo Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/28714-rock-lobsters-destroyig-my-game/#findComment-342450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirasy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Your best shot is to feed them flint/rock or anything that will make em follow you then go undergrounds and wait for them to stop following you so that they are removed from the overworld or you could gather an army of pig/bunnies and murder them for their crimes against skyrim.

Blucher Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 You are right. They are practically impossible to kill. Even if you were to try, I think they would reproduce faster than you could kill them.

Haha yeah I tried this but unfortunately as soon as you light the gunpowder the fire causes them to go into their shells before the explosion -_- Anyway I just went into game files and made all their HP to 1 so I'm just mopping them up with the walking cane. Once they're gone I'll put it back to 10 million like before. It was funny when I walked into the caves and they were dying from earthquakes though Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/28714-rock-lobsters-destroyig-my-game/#findComment-342964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirasy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Ah so maybe just lighting enough nitre for it to start an earthquake. It would be slow but it might eventually work.

Kirasy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So is it safe to say that it is working very well? I am curious because I will quite likely be facing similar problems. I worry for my one beefalo pack that remains in my game. The infestation continues so as you could imagine I am interested.

I am curious because I will quite likely be facing similar problems. I worry for my one beefalo pack that remains in my game. The infestation continues so as you could imagine I am interested. This earthquake idea would only alleviate the problem of the overspawning of rock lobsters underground. Obviously there are no aboveground earthquakes. If that happens to you go into the file "stats" and put their hp to 1 or something. in fact if you wanna be able to boomerang them then also take away their dmg reduction from going into their shell form bats will kill them, werepigs, buffalo, even bees lol and you can walking cane them as you go about your day It's obviously not WAD and is a game flaw that they respanw endlessly aboveground or that they're aboveground in the first place.

Kirasy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Can you be a bit more specific I found the stats file but I am unable to find the line for changing the rock lobster's health.

Castaway on the Moon Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 NVM sorry I got confused about something else I was doing. the file you want is tuning.lua also in the scripts folder. look for ROCKY_HEALTH = 1500 that's the one you change. Also if you want, the dmg and the absorb.

CubePlaysGames Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I had this same problem. I gave every lobster that i found in overworld flint and led them all in one place. Then i used the old bell (sad lobster).
