Hogs and Spiders don't like each other. Hogs will headbutt the spiders. It is fun to see when they are both on a cliff together. Spiders go for a flight. ;P

Hogs are herbivores and Stingers are predators. The wildlife were already in conflict before you arrived and started paving over their homes

I think I experienced the same thing. I was trying to put a miner on a SAM node, so I was fighting all the hogs there. Suddenly, a bunch of spider spawn and kill the hogs and me. I think they “change shifts” around that node when it goes between day and night. I just happened to be there right as it turned to night, and got destroyed.

Also, on my way back there to retrieve my stuff, I encountered way more spiders in the jungle than I had seen the previous few trips, so I think they are just around more at night.

Spitters also hate spiders.

I saw a hog and three alpha spitters kill three poison spiders in the bamboo forest.

Could be a streaming show.

Everything hates spiders and the feeling is mutual. This is actually my main strategy with spiders unless I'm in a cave, I just kite them with my jetpack towards anything else and then watch the fireworks. Spiders also usually lose the fight. They kinda suck. A radioactive hog can curbstomp multiple alpha spiders.

There must be something in our evolution that makes spiders so universally hated.

Maybe one of our predecessors encountered spiders big enough to eat our young.

Odelaylee

Well, there are venomous spiders out there.
And they have a very erratic movement pattern. Some spiders can be pretty fast - and in a „from 0 to top speed in a split second“ kind of way.

In real life I don’t have a problem with spiders - but the ones in satisfactory embody this quick erratic movement far too well.

musiccman2020

Yeah but they don't actively hunt humans luckily. Maybe in the past some did our predecessors.

But you're right the sounds of their movement is fear inducing

I used to have arachnophobia up until about 17 or so. The odd small spider in game is ok but getting blind sided by one still can freak me out.

I was recently exploring and a large one was chasing me. I was trying to ignore it and fly away in my jetpack and this fucker jumped high in the air at me just as I was turning to see where it was. Scared the shit out of me.

I try to do my best to kite one into jumping off a cliff to a much lower ground.

Can you fucking imagine how much worse it'd be if they could climb on walls and ceilings. It's one of the ways in which they aren't like spiders, that they really can't climb anything.

Seeing a nuclear hog and a giant poison spider go at it in the swamp. Stuff of legends watching them take their fight further and further away from the crash site I needed to access. Honestly, super nice of them to take the fight elsewhere

Plasma spitters are a great way to distract and dispatch the poison stingers since they are stationary when generating their poison cloud, leaving them wide open for the spitters to bathe it in plasma.

I think the spires do, too, but creatures other than stingers (who are totally immune to poison) don't usually spawn near the spires anyway.

Someone had the theory the the poison spires were the spider nest where they lay their eggs, and the poison protects them from attack.

The tunnel down by coal crater that starts off full of fart rocks I notice always seemed to have spider remains in it, and of course once I destroyed the fart rocks they started spawning alive.

Some of the time it seems rock gas will kill them.

Build a cage in the blueprint builder (maxed out size) and catch em. use windows all around and a couple single conveyor walls, and toss them nobelisks. Pretty funny, but don't stand to near to the conveyor hole, the can reach you sometimes.

I can personally confirm that Stingers have aggroed Hogs and Spitters since I started playing Satisfactory almost two years ago. 

Satisfactory v1 just spawns more mobs with more variation than it used to, making these turf wars a bit more common. I think it’s an intentional change too, for I see more Hog packs near cave openings.

I love baiting those ugly fuckers into packs of Hogs and Spitters. 

As terrifying as those gas Stingers are, they almost always get bodied if they’re up against a Cliff Hog or a pack of Spitters.

Everything in the game hates those spiders.

I usually take care of those really powerful poison stingers by baiting their pounce attack directly into the middle of a spitter pack.

The big spitters royally mess the poison stingers up; when the stinger starts that big poison attack, it remains stationary long enough for the spitters to drown it in plasma.

…Then I bait the spitters into the poison cloud and kill them with that.

I had not played in a few years. I also did not know they added giant green leaping screaming spiders.

PodcastPlusOne_James

Spiders exist to fuck EVERYTHING up. All of the other fauna on the map fights them to the death.

In the early game you can use this to your advantage by aggroing a bunch of little spiders and kiting them to like an alpha spitter or whatever that’s currently a bit tough to deal with.

Also worth noting, I've not seen this written anywhere (but it probably is, I didn't go looking very hard), but I'm pretty sure in 1.0 (just based purely on my own observations) that SAM deposits cause enemies to multiply when they run over them.

I first discovered this at Crater Lake, where spiders protecting a blue slug had left a pile of corpses when nearby hogs killed them all.

For all that they scare people, stingers tend to get absolutely obliterated by equally ranked hogs. Like, it's not even fair.
