I found the options under the map mod settings that disable creeping on specific planets is stopping it on all my planets.
I have bot networks on nauvis, vulcanus, and fulgora, and when I disable fulgora (dont want bots hit by lightning), it stops it on all three planets.
I tried the other settings, and the same happens when I disable on nauvis or vulcanus. But when I disable gleba or aquilo (which I haven't been to yet), creeping still works on the three planets I'm on.
Honestly this is probably a bug with the original mod, but I am technically using this one.
