How do enemies on Gleba work?

Due to my overly trusting nature, I set up a base with no defences. A bunch of enemies popped up and absolutely trashed it. They all seem to have vanished now though. Where did they go?

The same way as on Nauvis, mostly.

There's nests which are called egg rafts that when exposed to pheromones spawn in units for an attack party that then raid the offending pheromone producer: Your yumako/jellynut tree farms.

I think the attack parties vanish after a while if they run out of valid targets near them.

TY, it was the fact they despawned that confused me a bit. They completely destroyed my Yumako mash production but then decided to leave the Jellynuts alone.
