Sounds and aggro trigger

[Alessandro De Col]

If in a cave i like to ear drifters and locusts behind a wall...i really really annoyng era them growning all day everydary cause they are like 20 feet under my house, my lake, my chickes...

 

Drifter growl is helpfull, but shouldnt trigger so often or maybe not that louder even when it comes from underground.

 

Also, i understand the point or having monsters ambushing me all the time, but if there is a thick rock wall between us they're not suppose to know i'm there, at least not until i dig it up!  have you consider implementing "enemy cone of sight?" like if they are X ° turn in you direction they spot you, otherwise you need to be close enogh to trigger them

A good way to think about is that as any wild animal, they can smell and hear you. Even through stone walls. You can't really hide from a bear, just because you got behind some trees. Line of sight is very important for us humans, for wild predators not so much.

An interim solution might be to go down into the caves and such under your base, and either fill in the voids, or spread water everywhere on the floor.  I think that would keep them from spawning.

i think i will go with the water...

can i pick lava in the same way of the water?

I don't think you can pick up lava.   And I would hope never will be able to.

Why? Lava makes for brilliant ambient lighting. I'd love to be able to build with lava.
