How does enemy spawn weight work?

[SergeantThug]

Been messing with some mods and some of them have "Spawn Weight" Instead of "Spawn Chance". Does higher enemy spawn weight mean higher chance to spawn?

Think of spawn weight as a sort of credit system. Each moon as a certain amount of Credits it can spend to "Buy" in monsters, and each monster costs a different amount of credits. The Bracken for example has a high spawn weight, thus why you only ever see one and why he's usually only ever seen with maybe 2 other monsters. Hoarding Bugs on the other hand have a really low weight, thus letting the game "buy" a bunch of them.

You can look up "Lethal Company moon power" The moon power is the maximum spawn weight from what I understand

This might give some more insight: https://lethal.miraheze.org/wiki/Moons

'Max Power' represents how many entities can spawn indoor and outdoor, respectively.
