Black forest seems sameold too.
Maybe im just lucky , but i try not to plonk a lot of workbenches around, as they inhibit spawns. In my experience Iron Gate is not a dev that gives in to crybabies.

PS My world was created after the H&H update.

I can say the same about the dark forest. The spawn rate has not changed there.
The swamps I touched a little before the this last update so I cannot compare. I never place workbenches to prevent spawns, except near landed ships.
But the current spawn levels feel ok. I can survive more but if I die, with more enemies retrieving my equipment would be really hard.
If the low number of spawns create shortage for farmed materials needed later, that should be balanced somehow too.
