New Hearthling Buffer Zone Spawning

Post by Dakkan »

I always feel a little bad when I see a hearthfire spawn close to our village. It isn't the same experience as spawning into the wilderness, away from a large claimed area. Maybe there should be a check when the game randomly places the new character's HF to see if there are any nearby claims?

Agreed, and it's better than it used to be, but still could use improvement.

The question is how far would it reach? The last big village I was working for, people could land 1-2 grids away from village, still putting them in big discomfort and finding a balanced value of how far fresh HS should spawn, could be difficult.

But then again, yay for naked people in complete wilderness!

This poor soul spawned by our dirt quarry. The first thing people experience probably shouldn't be "desolate wasteland." Grave unrelated.
