[0.18.0] Large and Behemoth Biters can spawn on day 1

Post by Yehn »

In testing updates for the mod Nightfall (which does not spawn any biters), I use this command:

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces[1].pollute(game.players[1].character.position,5000000)
However, I noticed this causes large and behemoth biters to spawn even on day 1 (unmodded daylength). Included is a screenshot of a biter base near the starting area, using all default settings for Freeplay:

In 0.17 and previous, no matter the pollution levels, large and behemoth biters would not spawn until much later in the game.

Thanks for the report,
however there has never been logic preventing that from happening

Strange, I guess I must have avoided it out of sheer luck before. Thanks for checking.
