I'm in a location (on top of a factory) and everytime I get in my ship and enter cockpit, my location marker is different than normal. I click on it and it says its me and four RANCORS. I check my ship and they arent there, and they arent in the hanger bay. where are they?
But seriously, creatures don't do anything yet. They appear for flavour. When they're closer to fully implemented, I'm sure the ability to spawn on top of buildings will be removed.

A bunch of creatures managed to freak me out today. I'm alone in a city - well, myself and the NPCs doing the construction I start - and all of a sudden after setting off a facility, I see a blue icon at my location (instead of the green I was expecting). Hastily scanned it, fearing an arrest attempt... and saw a large flock of some flying creature that had been moved out of the construction area to my location.
I had a hearty laugh at my paranoia, and went about my next task.
