I keep getting injured by various monsters because safe mode is extremely inconsistent about functioning. Sometimes it works, but more often than not it doesn’t recognize any monsters at all. I’ve checked to ensure safe mode is actually on, and it is, but it’s not triggering anyway, and it’s not just dogs that are giving me the problem… zombies and mi-go aren’t getting detected either. I have no idea what to do about it, and it’s getting very frustrating.

I think of may have figured it out actually. I was accidentally adding monsters to the whitelist without knowing.
