There's absolutely no reason why this would be the case. They spawn in light* level 7 and lower, from 85% of the way from mantle to sea level, up to the top of the map. Maybe a full moon is bright enough to prevent spawning while it lasts.

If there's too many (i.e., 14) surface drifters in your caves, then they won't spawn on the surface until the old ones despawn. The despawn condition is farther than 32 blocks for 30 seconds, so that's unlikely to be an issue for long, especially if you or the drifters are moving around.

*Uses MaxTimeOfDayLight, which is the higher value of the current sunlight/moonlight or artificial light.

You are absolutely correct about everything you said, but rifts are literaly gateways which spawn drifters on the surface every night (since some of the 1.16 updates, can't remember which one, it's in the patch notes).

If you turn rifts off you won't get a single drifter at night even if rift stability is apocalyptic. They don't have anything to do with drifters that spawn in caves or during temporal storms

Turning off rifts just makes drifters spawn everywhere at night instead of just around rifts.

(In other words, it reverts the spawning behavior to Minecraft style, like it used to be before rifts got introduced.)

Rifts are the ONLY way for drifters to spawn on surface unless there is a temporal storm or your stability is really low.

Turning the off disables drifters from spawning on surface, they still might get out of the caves if there are some in your vicinity.

Turning them invisible works the same way as turning them visible - just without the annoying noise and stability drop.

My game freezes like that with every Net 7.0 version, with or without mods, it fills up all of my 32GB RAM and starts to freeze periodically (2-3 seconds sometimes). It doesn't matter if I'm in already explored area or if I'm moving around, new game or older save it's all the same. Lowering some settings didn't give any effect other than taking it a bit longer to fill up my RAM, but once it does it just stays at 32/32 used for as long as I play. It takes about 15-20 seconds to free used memory after I exit to main menu.

My PC: i7 10700k, 32GB 3600MHz RAM, RTX 3080, Game is installed on m.2

I reverted back to 1.18.7 and game works like a charm

I've gone about 800+ blocks in every direction, gone farther in one and just found periodite instead of granite. how am i supposed to finde limestone so i can do leather work.

Just 800? I've travelled 10k block in every direction and only had granite.

Chalk also works as limestone if you happen to come by it, it's white on the map, easy to spot. You can also grind shells you find on shores to get lime, but you need quern and mechanical power for that. Also some of the traders can have lime for sale (can't remember which one, might be comodities)

Not a fan of the new world generator, looks nice but it's too difficult to traverse.

You don't need that many sticks early game, and you should have sheers by day 4-5 since it is possible to get them by the end of day 2

Any ETA on 1.18 and new world generator? I saw something about continents and oceans/seas and I can't wait to see that feature (if it's still planned)

I'm having trouble with crafting leather backpack, I have all materials but it wont let me craft it. Linen bag and basket were craftable without any issues, is there something I'm missing?
