Does anybody know what stage the mobs for Starmade are at? I know a couple years ago they announced that they were working on it, but since then there has been nothing about it. I'm just wondering because I have a planet/trading station that I want to populate with people and species.

A while to go on that yet. They're establishing basics and prerequisite coding to actually put them in. If I understood correctly.

Ah, thanks. I noticed that earlier, it just mentioned it too briefly for my liking. Thanks.
I was more wondering about the procedural generation of mobs. I know that they added a spider, but I don't think that it is actively in the game anymore. I think that all they mention in there are NPC factions and interaction.

from the look of things priorities may have changed. Its still planned but i think they concluded that it may require a few more systems that need to be implemented first.
Im excited for mobs too but i think that if they were to release them in the new update there wouldnt be anything to do with them. kind of like crew atm

The spiders are still there, but they have no place to live - they inhabit the old, procedural stations which I don't think are generated anymore... unless you delete the new station blueprints from ./blueprints-stations, and probably ./data/prefabBlueprints/defaultStations.zip too.
Also I've heard rumours of a creature living on planets (the "desert bunny" IIRC), but I haven't seen one of those ever, and I don't know what conditions, if any, get those to spawn.

The fact that spiders still lie within those old stations means they are left to be in the shadows, those spider mobs were a 'easter egg' Schema did a long time ago in one of the earlier SM updates. it saddens me to see it rot. On to the part about this 'Desert Bunny' that is all rumor.

Oh wow, I never knew this. Now I feel sad for all the space-spiders I killed. I'll have to make a collecting jar and go hunting for the last of their kind on the server - if they're not extinct already.
Which old stations? I know someone did a sector export of the type of station the spiders were in (and thus, the spiders would spawn), but I've never seen one generate in-game no matter what I did to the files. (singleplayer)
(y'know, the bigger one with 4 hangars and an upper dome)
On the other hand, I still every-so-often see one of the truly terrible "prate" wheel-with-hollow-rocks stations, but those have never had spiders.

I am talking about the ones the spiders spawn in. When im able to get my laptop that died on deployments harddrive, ill copy the save over and load it up. I know i have a few of them in there that the station spawned into.
