[Bug] Cave worms spawn in voxel and immune

27 votes

Cave worms in G5 and C5 spawn in the voxel in the back wall. They can shoot out of this, but player arrows can't shoot into to kill the worms, leaving the back of the cave unmineable

Basically same as title, idk if it’s been mentioned or not but it can attack threw the wall and poison you before you even have a opening in the wall.

When inside caves, the cave worms that shoot poison spit can shoot through walls and obstacles such as piles of stalagmites. If we cannot shoot them, then how are they shooting us?

Even before I enter the cave, worms are shooting at me, even before I dig through the wall. Restarting the game is not helpful.

if you use a bow, you can 2 shot them. also if you get in melee range, they will bite you for about 80 damage, but not poison you. so if you shoot one arrow and then knife stab it, you'll kill it, aim for the mouth when it's open for easy kills, they seem to have exact 300health. the poison is an AoE splash on point of impact by design.

Just noticed this at a cave in J14, had to dig out a hole large enough to shoot through, and keep backing off

The south most cave in J14 has this bug, where, while you're mining the entrance, the cave worms can attack you and you become poisoned even if you have not mined through the wall yet. It thinks you're in the cave when you are not (yet).

I cannot even enter some caves due to splash poison coordinated by 3 or more cave worms I go to mine through the wall blocking the entrance they aggro and splash damage through the wall its impossible when there are 4 without antidote.

I also encountered this myself yesterday in the same caves, very annoying.

I had the same issue in j14 cave. Rock face is set back so you are 'underground' before you even start mining the wall. I heard worms spawn behind the wall, and I was poisoned through the wall,

So in one of the caves the collision for a segment of wall is a bit broken, and extends outwards a small bit. In that exact location a cave worm spawns. Every arrow I fire at it just stops a short bit in front of it, but it can still fire at me. I've only managed to hit it once by running under it, but only one arrow got through and it almost killed me. The cave is in the bottom right of sector K11.

I am still seeing the same problem worms shooting through cave wall entrance means same caves are not open-able.

(bug) worms from cave can hit you even if there is no entrance to cave (splash)

I just ran into this too. I cancelled the mission and might wait a bit more before coming back. Love the game, but too many of these types of bugs.

Still happening as of today after the major patch, 9 December 2022.

A BUG that sadly still isn't fixed in 2024.

The same thing is happening in the cave at f-15 in the north. There is a worm or two that spawn in the wall in the north-west of the cave.
