Right yeah i get why they attack. the thing is that its pretty stupid and also unfair. Mechanoids can largely be left alone if you dont want to fight them. As they are a super advanced technological race, they should be able to differentiate between an attack from my colony and an outside force.

If i start mortaring the shit out of them they should rush me, but if some random cows decide to roll up, they should kill the cows and do nothing afterwards. It doesn't make any sense the way it is.

Gotta be honest, I get the fear of stupid lawsuits. That sounds like it ends up being way more annoying than anyone thinks. However, This is the first and only time I've ever heard a developer doing anything like this.

I'm sure your dev team has many amazing ideas, as the game is amazing and I haven't been able to stop playing for the past few months, and i have yet to install mods. Again, however, there are certain smaller but still extremely important things that have been overlooked (such as manhunter packs attacking mech clusters, thereby making the mech cluster attack a colony. This makes no sense) which are relatively easy fixes.

I Understand implementing grand ideas may be scary for fear of frivolous lawsuits, however simple fixes, like the one in parenthesis' above, which would improve the QOL and the fairness of this game have such little chance of anyone making false claims about them that ignoring them is pure paranoia and nothing else.

Sucks that the community has no real input into the creative direction of this game. Obviously, the devs have final say on what goes into the main game, but players giving money and time not getting their ideas even heard? That feels a little like a slap in the face, even if it wasn't intended to be.

So, title.

A mechanoid cluster spawned in my world. ive been ignoring them and preparing mortars to soften them up.

Out of nowhere like 40 manhunter cows enter the map and start attacking the mechanoids. They all get slaughtered and now for some reason the mechanoids are mad at ME for that. They rush my base and give me a bad time because some COWS attacked them.

TLDR: Mechanoids should only attack the colony if provoked by colonists or owned animals.
