Latest file for v1.18.10:
lessdrift_1.3.0.zip 1-click install

A small tweak I made for playing on my server with my less combat-oriented friends.

Disabled drifter idle noises
Reduced maximum light level allowed for spawning. This should help with in-house spawning with early game light sources.
Decreased total group sizes. This still has default difficulty scaling with nearby players.
Increased distance from player drifters are allowed to spawn
Faster carving for loot

v1.3.0 v1.3.0 More in-depth experimentation with light values led me to find that the level I had set was too low and drifters could essentially only spawn underground. This was not intended. Slightly increased the allowed light level for spawning Drifters can now spawn on the surface at night if it's dark enough. A first quarter to waxing gibbous or greater moon phase will be bright enough to prevent spawns most of the night, if the weather is clear. Removed spawn chance condition patch as it matched the default value Sorry, had to delete all other releases to get the site to let me upload this.	#v1.18.10	716	Sep 14th 2023 at 11:53 AM	Show	lessdrift_1.3.0.zip	Install now

mod DOES NOT work for 1.18.15, i havent had much in-terms of big drifter spawns until i put this mod on, immediately there was 7 drifters all loudly grunting waiting for me to peak and get killed

IndustryStandard Glad someone else is getting some use out of it. I'm still tweaking it here and there, but I made it for the same reason. The combat is just not in a state yet where having to fight off 10-15 of these things every day just to get out of the house can be considered fun, and I got sick of them spawning behind me in my well-lit house and nearly killing me.

No comments is odd, this mod is great.

Girlfriend and I killed easily 40+ in just a small section of a cave and wanted to throw a keyboard from how frustrated it was becoming, combats not satisfying enough in this game to warrant this much.
