Nicholas Mason Posted December 20, 2024 Report Posted December 20, 2024 So I started playing again for the first time in a while. When I made my world I set rifts to off not realizing that disables surface drifters. I have since turned them on using the console and have seen a few rifts but its been like half a season and I haven't seen a surface drifter. Did their spawn conditions change within the last 2 or 3 major updates or might I have broke my save? I am using the 1.20.X unstable version so maybe that's causing problems?

I am using the 1.20.X unstable version so maybe that's causing problems? Welcome to the forums! To my knowledge, the only thing that's really changed is that they spawn with a little less frequency, I presume due to the two new monsters that got added. They're still very much around though. It's possible something got broken in the recent iteration of the 1.20 test version, but I have seen drifters out and about occasionally. I'll have to pay more attention though the next few times I play. The ones I've seen have been ones that crawled out of caves, and when I think about it...I haven't seen any at night in a while, or during temporal storms. I know nights look a bit brighter than they should, on average, and temporal storms have turned a deep blue color, so there are definitely some issues to be worked out. 1
HugoCortell Posted May 23, 2025 Report Posted May 23, 2025 That's odd, I thought that turning off rifts caused drifters to spawn anywhere rather than only underground and at rifts (even though the wiki says otherwise).
Maelstrom Posted May 23, 2025 Report Posted May 23, 2025 The wiki is quite often out of date. Drifter spawn before 1.16 was anywhere and everywhere when light level was low enough.
