Changing frequency of hordes specific question

[Boba Frett]

Hello, I am on a server I host as a client with friends. It’s day 13 and we have 7 plus or minus 1 for hordes, but I want to make them more frequent. The horde night was on 8 so if I, for example, made hordes every 3 days, would that skip the second horde and restart the timer, since the 11th day has passed, or would we just get a horde the next time it can spawn?

When you change any setting that affects when a horde night is, it recalculates from the current day. So no horde night is technically 'skipped', but it won't occur on day 14/15.

So being on Day 13, if you set it to 3 days with the same +/-1, your next horde should be on day 15-17.

That said, Even if it was skipped, it wouldn't matter much since horde night difficulty is tied to your gamestage/progress, rather than being based on the number of horde nights that had passed.

Perfect, thank you!

Minor point of clarification: The "range" setting is not a + / - variable, but an "up to X" variable. :) Says so right in the mouseover tooltip.

"Sets a random range that blood moons will happen. 0 is off. 3 would mean a blood moon can happen up to three days later than normal."

So in the example above, the total range would be 3-4 days, not 2-4, with the BM falling on either day 16 or 17. A +/- range , depending on parameters, could drive BM's into negative numbers, with them falling on days that already passed.

Oh wow, I guess I never actually read the description and always thought I knew what it meant. That’s great to know!
