Spawning

[tazer]

Up until today I was under the impression that only people outside count towards increasing your newspawn chances. I read today that people inside count as well. Which is true?

[SekoETC]

Inside count as well. Unfortunately. It doesn't make much sense since newspawns never appear in buildings, so there should be a connection between standing outside and making them spawn.

[tazer]

Ohh ok

So theorettically you could spawn in a seemingly empty town where everyone is behind locked doors

[SekoETC]

Or in a town where the spawn parents had just left, since I think the populations are stored in another table rather than characters being counted each time someone makes a new character.

Yes, the count only takes place once a day. And yes, people inside buildings are included.
