🧜‍♀️Hotfix: Spawn Timing Adjustments & Creature Tweaks 🪼

We’ve heard your feedback. Many players felt monsters were appearing too frequently and too aggressively compared to Early Access - especially in the early game.

This hotfix slows things down. Creatures should now appear less often, giving more breathing room while keeping the tension intact.

Siren

• Early-Game spawn time: 60 → 110 (+83%)

• Late-Game spawn time: 40 → 65 (+63%) Spawn chance remains 50%

• Also removed from Driftwood bay

Sea Ghast

• Early-Game spawn time: 40 → 60 (+50%)

• Late-Game spawn time: 25 → 35 (+40%) Spawn chance remains 50%

Fish Stealer

• Fixed an issue where Fishacles could spawn inside safe zones

• Increased hitbox size for more consistent combat

• Fish Stealer will no longer appear if there are no fish present

Eyelurker

• Early-Game spawn time: 60 → 125 (+108%)

• Late-Game spawn time: 40 → 55 (+38%) Spawn chance remains 50%

Codfather

• Early-Game aggro rate: 0.03 → 0.025 (−17%)

• Late-Game aggro rate: 0.1 → 0.08 (−20%) Spawn chance remains 50%

Tentacle

• Early-Game spawn time: 60 → 75 (+25%)

• Late-Game spawn time: 90 → 120 (+33%)

⚓ Ship Graveyard Adjustments

• Decreased overall monster spawns (we accidentally had one too many 😬)

• Removed Codfather from the Ship Graveyard (You're not supposed to be here, stick to Driftwood bay!)

🔧 Ship Systems

To give players a bit more reaction time:

• Electrical failure timer:

  • Early-Game: 150 → 160 (+7%)

  • Late-Game: 180 → 180 (no change)

• Engine failure timer:

  • Early-Game: 120 → 130 (+8%)

  • Late-Game: 150 → 160 (+7%)

🌏 Looking Ahead

We’ve also seen a lot of interest coming in from our Japanese players - thank you! We’re currently looking into Japanese localization and will share more once we have updates.

As always, thanks for the feedback! ☺️
