Turrets shoot forever at underground targets

Hi, wondering if you guys could take a loot at turret targeting of spiders that have gone underground. The bug here is that the turret will start shooting at the spider that is underground and thus invulnerable. I've had my base defenses drained completely (with regards to turrets) as they will expend a thousand boxes of ammo at one spider that is sitting just underground.

The expectation here is that the turrets should not shoot at targets that are un-hittable. If I could tunnel underground (hey I can) near an enemy base, then their turrets should also expend all their ammo at me while I'm just under the surface. I can't (they also don't ever seem to run out of ammo, which is a different issue), so I'd prefer that instead the turrets only shoot at things they can hit or damage.

Same issue. When I'm lying in bed and Sabiroid spawns at a distance, the turret fires at the ground until I get out of bed. Not always, but very often.

Still seeing this.

I'm seeing this as well. It seems like the spawn point for sabiroids is targetted, before the sabiroids spawn, and they only spawn when the player avatar is the astronaut, not a ship or base, i.e., walking around, not using the furniture.

Yeah, I've even had these guys start to spawn as I'm leaving the base and I come back and my entire base inventory worth of gatling ammo is gone (sometimes hundreds of boxes) as my turrets shoot endlessly at a red box in the sand that might someday turn into a space spider.
