BrentsAccount 0 Posted February 12, 2020 New player here, (i did play ARK for a few years tho) everything seems pretty great with this base except for 1 problem. BEES. How do i stop bees from attacking my NPC CREW that i have stationed on guns/puckels around my base? I put them on stations last night and had 4 different times the bees would go to the NPC's and knock them off their guns and attack them within maybe an hour and a half. The easy option would be to just throw them on Aggressive to EVERYTHING and call it a day right? But then that leaves the issue of my base going through 100+ ammo units over the last 12 hours shooting everything from seagulls, to rabbits just to stop the 1 bee every half an hour from going over there and knocking them off their guns. IS there any possible way to combat this bee issue WITHOUT wasting a ton of ammo like this? I am not worried about ANY wild animals attacking them except for those bees that seem to be the biggest pain in the ass to a progression move that shoulda had no issues. Also for the record i do not live near any bee hives. They just spawn casually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chucksteak 278 Posted February 12, 2020 Some ideas... 1. Have nearby tames set to aggressive. Possibly on follow to an npc if that's possible. 2. Build a super structure around what you call your base. Adds defense and with a floor will keep mobs out. 3. Relocate to an area without bees. 4. Stop using NPCs.

8ball 62 Posted February 12, 2020 Give the NPC a sword and on neutral? Won't keep them from being knocked off tho'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
