Empty biomes

Has it been anyone else's experience that all the biomes seem a bit empty after this most recent patch?

Feels like they tweaked the Abom spawn rate but somehow applied it to the entire game....

I have an area in a mountain biome I go hunting for wolves regularly. My first day there I saw only one wolf. At night there were more, so it would seem the nightly increase is normal but the day spawn rate is way lower than normal. I hope this gets investigated.

Mistlands is such a huge update I really hope they give us an option to regenerate Mistlands in our current games. They could add a few caveats (like excluding areas closer than 100 meters to any player-built structure, or moving the player to the standing stones if they're in an area impacted by the regeneration) to keep from messing up anyone's game.

I mean they technically didnt even say they reduced the *overall* swamp monster density, just lowered Abomination spawn rates, but in actual application I see far less monster density all around.

Agreed. I've speculated about monster spawning being tied to distance from the center of the map. Would you like to try and prove or debunk it? More data is always viable

No patch in the world can stop the Greydwarf infestation. Actually I just went into a tomb and got absolutely buried under skeletons. Made a new world so haven't seen the swamp yet.

No. Meadows, Black Forest, and Swamp still have plenty of mobs just like they always have. Haven't been to Mountain or Plains after the update but I see no reason to expect changes there.

Nope, only change noticed was the reduced Abom spawns -- which was much needed anyway, seeing one every 3 mins was kinda annoying tbh. Everything else feels the same as post-H&H.
