Latest file for v1.16.5:
ReducedDriftersGroupsandLightLevelSpawns.zip 1-click install


A simple json patch to make drifter swarms lesser for caving.

Mod reduces most drifter max group sizes by a few, default drifers from 14->10, deep from 8->6, and the rest only reduced by 1 to keep difficulty scaling as you go deeper.

Also reduces the MinLightLevel for spawning drifters from 9->4 to make torches and oil lamps a bit more substantial for caving to prevent spawns without altering the amount of light they put out.

This mod will not prevent drifters from spawning on the surface at night or during storms, those behaivors are unchanged. 

 

First mod - will be updated and tweaked accordingly as I run through it on my own playthrough until it feels right.

Should work through updates as its only a .json patch unless they change the Drifter.json file itself.

Sure! Ill have a look at it today and update it for you

Edit: As far as I can tell, it still is functional (at least not generating any errors on load with it) for 1.18+. Feel free to use it as is and let me know if any odd behaivor or it seems they are spawning not as listed above

Any chance of an update? This mod seems to be the only one doing what I want, reducing the light levels drifters spawn at
