- Spawn chance curves are on the wiki under each respective moon! - Note: more enemies tend to spawn the later you are in quota and more scrap on ship affects enemy spawns (these are negligible and should not affect how you play) - The vent an enemy spawns from is random. - If a monster spawns and the vent opens, other monsters can still spawn from the same vent! (vent sound is same for all monsters) - Players turned to masks DONT count toward power cap. - Ghost girl spawns from a vent, only the vent will open and you wont see the anything come out, even if you are the target player.

[@moonlitapprentice]

what mods would affect the Brackens spawn?

[@call_me_bread]

@@moonlitapprentice could be anything from a weather modifying mod that only host can see, to the host just being able to spawn in enemies (these mods don't even require the API so even vanilla players can join the "modded" host)

Do ghost girls still spawn from vents, and if they do, can you see them exit the vent, or do they stay invisible until haunting someone?

[@velocilevon]

Be wary of certain spots outside where monsters can spawn, like near the main entrance on March or staircases on Titan (every map has these spots, but they tend to be really out of the way for the most part, compared to these two). Unlike indoor entities, dogs and giants make absolutely zero noise when coming out of the ground (both before and during the process), which can not only catch you off guard, but even get you killed. While I'm not sure if dogs can bite you if you touch them during spawning (they get out almost instantly, while giants take 5 seconds to come out, so never bumped into dogs myself), giants definitely can! They will instantly grab and begin their killing animation, skipping the spawning animation entirely.

[@goosewithsnake]

I tested it and dogs can't bite you during spawning

[@isaacnelson1118]

That happened to my buddy last night and it was the funniest shit ever 😂 Was running back to ship and a giant hand just yoinked him instantly

[@mikmin2.0]

Dogs can’t bite when standing but can bite immediately when the animation stops, I got eaten once cuz it spawned on me lol

[@wr3nche5]

a giant can also spawn almost directly outside of one of the fire exits on march, i think it's the left one when facing the main entrance. scared me pretty bad, ran for the hills after seeing it rise out of the ground lol

[@deadspace4755]

Shows how offense is the worst moon, 4? Are you serious? 4 min for eclipsed? Anyways,what about the multiplier spawn chance graph? If it is negative, is it possible for enemies to spawn? If what you said about 7:40 to 9Am, that means a snare will have a 25% chance of spawning on Assurance. So the negative multiplier is irrelevant? l am guessing once the multiplier goes 2x,the snare will 50% chance to spawn right? Wishing the future will have an equipment that could block vents, like a super glue to block specific vents so could create some safe paths

[@SparkGSurge]

I researched this information earlier to know what to expect from outside enemies, but I'm getting very conflicting data. I run Rend a lot, which has a max outdoor power of 6, but I've had multiple runs where a Forest Giant and TWO dogs spawn, totaling 7 power. What causes this to happen? Each time it happens, the 2nd dog always spawn last, when there is 5 power on the map. Do you think the limit only stops spawning once it is met? Or maybe the giant and dog spawn on the same spawn cycle, "accidentally" going over the max 6? I highly encourage anyone who thinks its something wrong with me to try it out themselves, I've had many others experience the same issue. Ty for reading all of this if you did.

We are looking into this, we think there might be something wrong or weird with outside power cap for Rend on the wiki.

Shut up kid

[@nephel6158]

If you exhaust an enemy spawn, how does the spawn probabilities of other enemies get affected? I would assume it is evenly distributed or distributed by weight (so the ratio of probabilities are the same), but it could also very well be a random assignment, or that the spawn probability of the exhausted enemy is entirely given to another enemy (especially relevant with Brackens only having a cap of 1) And taking this question to its logical extreme, this may be a bit obvious, but I wonder if anyone has tested it just to confirm it. If you kill enough enemies, to where all the possible enemy caps are saturated (i.e the above scenario, but no enemy can possibly spawn and still abide by the spawn cap rules), what happens? I would assume the game just stops spawning enemies, but it could also be that enemies that normally cannot spawn, spawn. Like a Masked on Dine.

[@call_me_bread]

not really sure what your question is but if you kill the max spawn for all enemies no more enemies will spawn and if you kill all of one enemy probability doesn't change, it would be the same ratios (very unlikely to happen).

[@nephel6158]

@@call_me_bread Thanks! (Also, saturating an enemy cap can realistically happen because of Bracken having a cap of 1)

[@sdfggdfg5fgdfg]

​so instead of spawning a second bracken the game will just not spawn an enemy that cycle? @@call_me_bread

[@Jonas-Seiler]

The game determines all its probabilities with integer weights. I don’t know exactly how the process of picking one of many weighted options is coded, but I think it’s unlikely that it does anything significantly different from holding a raffle of some kind until a valid option is found. So killing Bracken will probably not cause Nutcrackers to become more likely than Snarefleas, nor will it cause a later spawn to get skipped because Bracken won the raffle but can’t get spawned anymore.

[@Mr__Beef]

How long does it usually take for an enemy to spawn after starting to hear sounds from a vent? I've had a couple of times where I start hearing sounds from a vent and get ready with my shovel only for the sound to continuosly play for about an in game hour without anything coming out.

[@call_me_bread]

It varies a lot not a specific time

[@JarodVanDyck]

Great video, I just have 1 question. Where did you find the statistic for when monsters spawn? You give Experimentation as an example and imply each moon has a different spawn cycle, but I can't find the stats for each moons spawn cycle anywhere.

[@call_me_bread]

should be on on of the wikis

[@Fact_core]

Can’t wait to farm nutcrackers with this :3

[@arstulex]

Do non-monster hazards (tripmines and turrets) count towards the 'power' system or do they have some sort of spawning system of their own? Also where do outdoor entities like bees, locusts and manticoils come into this? I've heard that locusts share spawn opportunities with bees but haven't found anything concrete confirming this.

[@call_me_bread]

spawning system of own. outdoor stuff is set based on seed and cannot be manipulated

[@Jonas-Seiler]

I think outdoor spawns work exactly the same way as indoor and nighttime spawns, but with only a single spawn cycle being run at the start of the day

[@BretzelThePretzel]

Where did you get the numbers at 2:41? I can't find anything like that on the wiki.

[@angst_]

You say during normal play the game "tries to spawn", does that mean there's a chance it can fail? Or is it guaranteed they'll will spawn at least something if it fits within the enemy cap? I assume the spawn chances just show the distribution of monsters that succeed at spawning?

[@call_me_bread]

It’s guaranteed to spawn if fitting within cap.

[@cyruxaxona]

Huge epic huge epic

[@numimio]

The fact that killing mobs just makes more spawn is kinda disappointing. I understand that you're not *supposed* to fight your way through the game, but not only do dangerous encounters reward you with nothing, you aren't even free of enemies because more still come. Respite for the moment but danger lurks around every corner still.

On Assurance, yeah. Other moons have a different indoor power cap. You can look them up, but I remember off the top of my head that Experimentation is 4 and Vow is 7. Also that only applies to indoor enemies, outdoor enemies are tracked completely separately and have a completely separate power cap.

[@coldbit25]

I want to see a guide on enemy sounds (and location sounds). I've already played a lot of hours, but I don't always understand what each individual sound means. Is it just a squeak or is it something crawling in the vent. Is it some kind of insect or is it bracken?

[@call_me_bread]

I’ll keep this in mind to mention maybe in a video, but pretty much every sound you hear means nothing and is just ambience. The only sounds that mean anything is the vent spawning sound and the girl “death bells” that play when you look in her direction (just means you have girl)

[@Fyozzz]

Although it is very rare, i've had giant spawns on experimentation and the sheet seems to show it's impossible, explain ?

[@alexrva433]

Most likely, either the host of the game (assuming you weren't the host) had ControlCompany on, which allows them to spawn a giant, or a player in your lobby (assuming you were the host) had a clientside cheat menu that let them spawn a giant. If you were in single player and running zero mods like an absolute lunatic, and still got the forest keeper to spawn, then perhaps it's not a 0% chance like the wiki says. Unlike Wikipedia, fandom wikis are run by generic players, so the information is not 100% guaranteed to be right.

[@Arken_games]

Thought that the creaking noise would indicate vent opening and not the thumping sound

[@fionngoat1011]

Do circut bees count towards are power? and does it count for inside or outside power

[@kingacrisius]

Daytime power, which only affects beehives, mantacoils, and roaming locusts. So it's a pretty useless thing to remember. All that it really meaningfully does is control the upper limit of how many beehives can spawn.

Tip: Don't tell people "that's all you need to know". Because people might want to know more. This vid makes sense to those that have some idea of spawning mechanics. Though it might be confusing to someone that doesn't know about spawning at all. It's basically RNG of what chance X enemy has to appear depending on Y location. Planet X might have X chance to spawn Y enemy less because it's an easier location. Hence why nutcrackers are less likely to show up. Change location, change the odds. A game like Rimworld does this with its "storyteller" difficulty. The planets work like that. Player determines what location/setting is. RNG does the rest. If we're talking about spawning in its simplest terms it's when anything appears due to whatever trigger happens. The player moving somewhere to make something happen in the game is one of the most common. Invisbile trip wires (that the player will not see) being triggered to make things happen in a game. I'm not sure to what extent this game does that. Lethal company seems to depend more on RNG then the player steping somewhere to make something happen. Though things won't show up where the player is looking. Also if enemies appear and disappear and behave very strangely (not doing what they tend to do) then it's probably a mod with players messing with the player. Saw that happen with Markiplier. There's actually a mod where the player can play as the monsters. Imagine spawning as monster X. Sometimes it's easy to do (simple inputs). Other times it requires typing a long line of code (console commands. What most older games do). The more I talk about spawning the more there is to talk about. It can get pretty detailed. In the past games didn't do RNG as much. These days it adds to games a lot. Rimworld is a great example of this. But it does more then just enemies. Lethal Company can be good in short bursts, but once playing the game enough it can get predictable due to being limited to only enemies. Lethal Company seems to share a lot in common with a game known as SCP: Secret Laboratory. That game is free so look into it. Seriously, Lethal Company has legit taken SCPS and put them into the game. White mask for example.

Since the table you showed says bees, manticoils and locusts have a power level of one, does that mean it's worthwhile to avoid locusts abd manticoils, as to not scare them away, so that they occupy some of the power level? Or is the powerlevel for these daytime, passive spawns seperate?

[@call_me_bread]

nope, they just wander around as usual, no vent traveling (they are not the imposter)

I feel hunting manticoils could be a cool way of making 15 credits. It would be useless late game to match the lack of birds on rend dine and titan.

Having a chance for a daytime enemy to spawn to hunt and kill would be a fun addition to LC. Zeekers teased a new moon that once had a camp and a waterfall in the newest log

@@sdfggdfg5fgdfg I don't think it was teased I think it was long long time ago Titan

i've been told by dataminers that pulling apparatus didnt effect anything besides lights though?

Just as a note, while playing with friends, we have had the Masked spawn on every single moon, including Experimentation. It's EXTREMELY RARE outside of the paid ones, but it has happened and thrown us heavily off guard. No mods.

[@Blumiii]

Masks have a 0% spawnrate on Experimentation, Assurance, Vow, Offense, March, and Dine. Someone either put on a mask or someones spawning enemies.

[@kaeranova]

@@BlumiiiNope, I am the host and it was right in the entrance the second we walked in. None of us have any mods. We don't typically like playing games with mods.

[@Blumiii]

@@kaeranova I've been looking through several wiki's and not *one* showed the masked being able to spawn on moons like experimentation

[@ROLITO-G-243]

In my opinion it is better to kill it if possible, it is better to eliminate it so that it can never appear again and you do not have to watch your back all the time It's better that another enemy ends up appearing that you can face before dealing with him, even if it's a coil head because at least he won't kill you if you look at him too much and it's easier to deal with him.

This is all assuming you're playing vanilla which i doubt anyone is doing anymore

the fandom wiki is terrible and fandom is terrible and linking it first in videos - or at all really - not ideal tbh
