Did you really think you could subdue Vulcanus? You fool. Demolishers can now respawn from lava lakes.

(Experimental release, looking for feedback)

Free territory will attract new demolishers over time. They will only emerge from extended lava pools - so you may try to secure your territory by landfilling everything. It may work. Or not. Better ready the railguns!

Mechanics :

Every chunk containing a majority of lava (at least 800tiles/1024) has a chance to respawn a demolisher when the territory is free.

Spawn ratio is 60% small demolishers, 30% medium and 10% big

Uncommons demolishers may spawn after 100h of playtime in the save, rare from 150h, epic from 200h and legendaries from 250h

Spawn rate is configurable, at normal a lava pool will spawn a demolisher every 10h in average.

First release so balance might be a bit rough, please give me feedback if you like the concept.

Compatibility

Should work with almost anything as long as Vulcanus is a planet. As of now, incompatible with custom quality levels.

Performance
