The Skeleton surprise....

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but ever since the update I get daily, sometimes twice a day back to back skeleton raids. These raids are pathetically easy and more of an annoyance than anything. At least with the I'm being hunted raid, I really had to watch myself.

Grab a stagbreaker or iron sledge and go have some fun. Skeleton Surprise is a nice little break to get some rage out.

The problem I'm having is after the event is over and the red circle on the minimap has gone, 1 min later I get another one. This doesn't happen all the time any more... I'm thinking it was bad rng and maybe just a fluke when they Happened.

On a side note, I'm finding regular mushrooms to be hard to find. Seems like all the other forest/meadow edibles are in abundance but mushrooms are far and few between.
Maybe this is just Bad RNG but maybe not. Probably should make a new thread... but I digress
Resources can be plentiful or lacking in any particular biome.
Personally I feel that adds to the individuality of even the same biome types.

One thing since H&H, now this may be RNG but a theory in progress, is that I tend to find more red mushrooms near the border of a mountain biome. Again it might just be the rng, but it is something I am currently watching for.

I can second your observation on Red Shrooms near mountains.

My other two Meadows bases had decent amounts for Meadows.. but my current base sits pretty close to the Mountains, and I have Shrooms all over the place; particularly plentiful amounts on the edge of the Mountains themselves.

Maybe.. 15-20 yards away from where snow begins.

Again, could just be RNG.. but I've also observed the same.

I kinda wish developers would toss in different versions of existing biomes.. examples being "Shady Meadows" (more trees == more mushrooms), "Barren Swamps" (less wet, more land-based threats and maybe Turnip seeds), etc.

Would be pretty interesting!

1. Do you mod your game?

2. Have you verified local files? Library - right click on game name for Properties - local files - verify. With game not running.

3. Are you running out of the red circle in the mini map? If you leave the circle the timer will stop.... just wondering if you killed what came after you then went back in the circle to seem like event started again?

IDK just throwing out ideas

Pretty sure it is just RNG if they happen a lot but back to back seems very odd as they only should last 2 mins and then be an hour or 45min before the next RNG check. Or something like that... definitely not back to back though.

there’s definitely stuff about raids that aren’t documented yet. For one, I have experienced a total of 5 raids (2 before day 40, then 3 random skeleton surprises since then). My world is currently on day 270+ and ever since killing yagluth I’ve been working on expanding my mountain base. Even before that though, I went 130 some days without a raid from before killing the elder to after killing moder, which the streak was finally broken on day 170 when I got a skeleton surprise at my plains base. Considering people are getting raided all the time, clearly something I was doing is preventing raids from occuring.
