Randomize Unrat spawn schedule

Sep 18, 2019 We all float link
Randomize the Unrat spawn schedule . Instead of every 8 hours make it random. People should not be able to set their clocks around when the unrats are going to show up. They should be chaotic.

To my understanding it is now somewhere between 8 and 16 hours after the Unrat Dent is killed and on a random schedule already.

+1, to this. The unrats need to respawn multi randomly, people wait for the unrats. To my understanding they spawn within a hour or so after the 8hr mark. Sometimes a half hour. They absolutely need to be more unpredictable

What's your argument? Your just repeating facts.

He's repeating facts that are true, because other statements in this thread, like the OP, are inaccurate. Ie:

"Instead of every 8 hours make it random."

It is random. They respawn at a randomly chosen time, anywhere between 8 and 16 hours since they were last destroyed. It has always been random.

So, either people are reporting a Bug, in which case this is the wrong forum, and there should be pretty strong evidence if you want us to burn up a bunch of time to investigate. Or, more likely, people are just confused.

Here are the time intervals of the last six respawnings:

Fri Sep 20 21:26:48 2019 - 12.69 hours.
Sat Sep 21 16:03:11 2019 - 13.54 hours.
Sun Sep 22 07:22:43 2019 - 9.81 hours.
Sun Sep 22 18:24:52 2019 - 11.08 hours.
Mon Sep 23 07:43:02 2019 - 15.69 hours.
Tue Sep 24 05:08:52 2019 - 9.62 hours.

Again, random between 8 and 16 hours.

The next time anyone is frustrated about feature development that is taking forever, please remember all the "wild goose chases" you sent us on..

Math checks out. All the above respawn times are between 8 and 16 hours.

I retract my statement as being showna evidence otherwise

I apologize for wasting development time on this. I do still wish that they would come back sooner than eight hours though.

Perhaps you could open a new Suggestions thread suggesting a different time range.
