I've started a new map and character to play recently with my kids since they've grown interested in the game and I've come to notice that enemy spawning seems to be substantially higher than it was before H&H.

I've also noticed more Invasions/Assaults occuring and the amount of enemies in those higher as well as well as the increase of Stars on some of them.

Whether I'm playing on the map solo or they're with me, the attacks seem to happen with the same intensities as well. We downed our first boss, went back home and before we could even get to the house proper, the first invasion struck and we got slammed by a 2 Star Brute and a team of 10ish Grey's (mixed between Greyling's and their buffer Dwarven Cousins).

I feel like I'm missing something, cause no matter what we do, we're constantly being charged at by several mobs at a time, making even the most basic task a chore. We don't even bother trying to do anything at Night at this point cause of the high frequency spawning.

Is anyone else noticing a dramatic increase in enemy spawns like we are or is this maybe just some crap rng we've ran into since killing our first boss?

( We're not playing with any changed files or mods either. Just a straight up new seed and characters and we're only around day 45ish. )
