Spawning

[Doug R.]

This has likely been asked a zillion times, but do people inside buildings count towards a town's newspawn attractiveness?

I think I've read before that they do count, but can't give you a 100% sure answer, I am trying to find the thread.

I'm imagining 20 people packed inside a building without a window, and then a very confused newspawn arrives outside.

[SekoETC]

Yes, people in buildings (and vehicles) count.

[EchoMan]

People inside buidlings, sub-buildings, vehicles, cargo holds, etc all -should- count towards the spawning variable, but the code to calculate it is very complicated and I can't guarantee it actually does. From tests I did a few years back I would say they all do, but I still can't guarantee it. There were discrepancies while testing.

Thanks!
