g Question about size of night attacks

2 years ago
(updated 2 years ago)

Does this effectively make night attacks smaller but more frequent? I saw in another thread you said that it doesn't spawn its own attack waves, instead simply makes existing biters more likely to attack at night. Does this mean that since there aren't any more biters added, the number of biters in each nighttime raid will be less (but there will be more frequent raid events)?

Also, does this mod make biters any less likely to attack during the day when you don't have the "night attacks only" option checked?

So, a little explanation about how vanilla works: normally, when you have a biter base in a pollution cloud, it will periodically start spawning an "attack wave" group. When the game judges the group big enough, they begin their attack. This process is completely unaffected by nightfall which also means daytime attacks are unaffected - unless you have "night attacks only" checked and the size of normal attack waves are completely unaffected.

If you do check "night attacks only," then the mod intervenes and puts a hold on those vanilla waves until nighttime (but an attack in progress won't be stopped).

Nightfall, in turn, searches for idle biters within a pollution cloud to form up into a group and launch attacks with. This happens with or without the option checked.
