How to make Dave appear in the Rust World horizon?

[Sparkplug04]

Hey all! I've seen some footage from several videos now of good ol' Dave in the skies of the Rust World/temporal storms but I haven't been able to see him in my own playing of the game. Is there a specific setting I need to set at a certain value, or does he only appear with graphical presets chosen?

I think your view distance needs to be 300 or better for Dave to appear. Also keep in mind that he does move around, so he won't always be in the same place, and if there's mountains, forest, or other terrain nearby it may be very difficult to spot him even with an appropriate view distance.

Additionally, you don't need to wait for a storm.  Just let your stability drop to around 25% or so and you'll see him patrolling the perimeter.
