Caught this giant crab walking from land into the depths. Is this new behaviour or a bug?
Made a video to show the crab underwater

Well Iāve seen an animal do that so it may be a feature.

Whatās the largest creature you guys have found in game? Hereās mineā¦Iām in the picture, look closeā¦really close. Sadly the unit value from scanning it is the same as that of any advanced animalā¦nothing special though I feel this should be worth a few million units. I first noticed it from a nearby trading outpostā¦it was at a distance and I still had to look up from the giant outpost to see it.

So we know about the bovine feet on the Abominations but, where did these hands come from? Look humanoidā¦

He looks so friendlyā¦I remember when those kinds of critters always came charging towards me.

Yeah it wasnāt hostileā¦those used to be really aggressive when they were tiny. But it might be peaceful because itās the Eissentam galaxy, Iām not sureā¦since NEXT literally no creature has been aggressive towards meā¦Iāll occasionally see a predator chasing other animals but from the dozens of worlds Iāve been on and hundreds of creatures Iāve scanned and been around no wildlife has attacked me.

Yes, I think they only become aggressive if you shoot them. I did happen to stand between a hunter and its prey and I took damage even though he was not attacking me.

So far theyāve only ever started to run away when I started shooting them. There might be an issue with the new AI that makes it very unlikely for them to attack the player.

Depends on the animalā¦while none Iāve seen have attacked itās also highly unlikely they eat Korvaxā¦wires are not very tasty after allā¦but there are definitely animals that run away the instant youāre remotely close to themā¦I have a couple near my base. I constantly had to chase them to feed them carbon for missions because I didnāt want to feed cobalt to the ones that didnāt run away.

Try picking on a large predator and see what happensā¦

I havenāt tried killing that creature because I had no reason to but with my fully upgraded and doubled down on Shields and Jetpack I doubt Iād be in much dangerā¦I can fly quite some distance and for quite some timeā¦at least 30 seconds air timeā¦and the plasma launcher slaughters anything it touchesā¦including me if Iām not careful but I never had issues with it once I learned what it can do. Iād wager one solid plasma launcher shot would take care of pretty much anything if I needed it to but really my boltcaster would likely do just fine.
Iām well past that initial shock stage from the release of NEXT and my character is back on top of the world as was the case before. My ships still need quite some work though and some of the upgrades can be infuriatingly varying so will require a lot of copies to be bought to get the truly good variants of the S classā¦like the hyperdrive tech modulesā¦they can be as little as +200 light years or as much as +250 light yearsā¦so a 50 light year difference with a +64% bonus can be up to an insanely huge 82 light year difference per module. So thereās a lot of grind of wasting nanite clusters on buying and scrapping modulesā¦for five shipsā¦and I need five or six good ones per ship. That will need time.

Havenāt seen predators attack their own kindā¦they donāt usually spawn more than a couple at a time and when there is more than one thereās a huge pack of something else around for them to go chew on.

I have seen the below creature (or similar) posted several times, but noticed it actually has a mouth, including tongue 
I know itās silly, but for some reason these creatures always make me think of Masahiro Ito, albeit a PG version of something he could have drawn.

The hunter types on my planet will attack me if I shoot themā¦which I do on a regular basis because I get tired of them killing the critters that flock near my base.
