What's up with the respawn rate?

I haven't played Valheim for a while.
Now I revisited my original seed again and I noticed signifacant increase about the respawn rate of trolls, Golems, Dragons and furlings.

I was in the mountains and I almost couldn't go a single step without a golem or a dragon spawning.
I killed them and once a passed the area again a few moments later, there was another one.
I had to kill 4(!) golems within 10 minutes in the same area.
I always thought there was a cool down for about a couple of ingame days befor they do respawn.

During night it was even worse.
One night it wasn't drakes and stone golems only but also Skeletons, wolves and even Fulings!... in the mountains.
And everyone at was fighting to each other causing mayhem and destrution.

This was intense as f...
And if this wasn't enough, immeditely after the battle i met Fenring on top.
Dudes, seriously? Alsmost every single creature at the same time on the same spot?
why? what happen to the game the last 2 years?

Not that I'm complaining but I really need some chill-time as well.

Now I'm wondering if this is normal, or did I just found either a hot spot or a bug?

What I have noticed is areas that I;m exploring for the first time seem to spawn stuff more frequently than areas I have been through multiple times except for areas that I haven't been through in quite a while. When I go back through those areas after a couple game weeks they seem to spawn again as if it was my first time through.

I have also noticed that areas that share biome borders seem to spawn at twice the rate at those borders as compared to being completely inside a single biome area.

Had the same thing going on in my mountain base. Filled 2+ chests full of crystals for glass (only got 3 trophies though-_-), but after some time they stopped spawning as fast probably do to spawn locations in the aria being reduced by my base. As for the spawn mechanics, I haven't gone full nerd on it as I am lazy (probably a 5 min lookup), but I do know that there isn't a cool down on golems (trolls and abominations are the same I think?) just spawn limits which is set at 1 unless in a frost cave (I had 2 at a frozen underground lake a few times...and the bats woke them both up.....F U N). It does seam that some spots are just super high on mob spawn rates as I will run into 2-4 abominations on a single coal run to the swamps but other times not see a single mob, so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Seems about normal to me. Certainly no instant respawning in areas just cleared typically.

Mining silver I will typically drop the golem in a hole so maybe that is attracting more attention or something?

Black forest mobs may be a bit increased, ran into my first area with two trolls next to each other... but it wasn't like one spawned in after killing the other or something.

Yeah, same in my game, was almost impossible to farm some silver without getting mass attacked all the time, when I played it last year it wasn't near the amount of spawns.
