WillPwn4Food Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've been in my world for over 3 years and had only one non-GMoose encounter. Could anyone please tell me the spawning conditions for the other giants? I know they typically come mid to late season, but does it make a difference if I hang by my base or go exploring? I've tried both (waiting from them to come to me, trying to find them myself). Is it a roll of the dice? Are they "wandering" around the world in an unspawned state until I get close and trigger the warning growls? Does it have to do with the world entities around you during a certain window of the season (like the GMoose?)? Please, I don't want to lose interest in this game, but I don't know how much longer I will be playing with this continuous disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soto8969 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've been in my world for over 3 Reign of Giants come out 2014, one year ago. and your world you say its 3 years old. Maybe your world don't have activated the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillPwn4Food Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Anyway I can change this in game with a console command? I'd rather not lose my 3+ year world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShnarfBird Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The only way I am aware of is to spawn them in yourself, using the command c_spawn followed by the name in quotes, ex: c_spawn "deerclops" Reign of Giants come out 2014, one year ago. and your world you say its 3 years old. Maybe your world don't have activated the DLC. If the Moose shows up, evidently the DLC is active.And 'year' could be referring to 365 in-game days, or a loop of the seasons.

Soto8969 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Oh, i think of an actually 3- real time-years old map how many days is your world old 3 seasons or 1080 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillPwn4Food Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 @Soto8969 It's over three full 4-season cycles old. And I have encountered the GMoose so the giants are on (the only adjustment I made to the world generation is starting in Autumn). @ShnarfBird I know I could spawn them in, but part of the challenge is racing to prep before they show up. It would feel too fabricated IMO to spawn them in, whether when I had already prepared or as if they were catching me off guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillPwn4Food Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Are you not already prepped after three years?? I am, but I'm not constantly carrying around my top tier fighting items while going about my daily business. For example with the dragonfly (he just showed up finally on my 4th summer), I had to race back to my camp to grab my stuff before he spawned and then get to a good fighting spot where everything I owned wouldn't be lit on fire. For the Deerclops, he caught me off guard away from my base at night and I had to lead him around until sunrise and then race to my sleeping darts in my base to put him to sleep before he started crushing my structures, after which I equipped my fighting gear and took him on.

Rilay Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Changing the giants to "more" instead of the default setting will insure the giants spawn in their season 100% of the time. With default there is a 67% chance of the giants spawning. With "less" there is a 33% chance, and on "lots" the giants spawn out of their respective seasons.

I have a world with all giants set to "more", and have survived for over 200 days, yet all I've seen is two M'Gooses. I didn't even get to fight one of them, because it spawned right between the beefalos, during mating season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfbrother117 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That doesn't sound like more to me. I have seen the seasonal giant practically every single season on normal settings. Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm playing on ps vita. I've been wondering if something is wrong with the giant spawn system in there. I've tried normal, more and lots, and so far I saw the following results: Normal: M'Moose spawns generally once a year, other giants may spawn, but chances are pretty small.more: M'Moose tends to spawn once every spring, the other giants don't seem to appear at all.lots: M'Moose spams the freaking world, appearing mostly every season, while other giants don't seem to spawn at all.When M'Moose is set to normal, while the others are set to lots, none of them spawn, until spring, where M'Moose decides to jump in, and may be followed by a team of the three other giants. But this may just be a problem with the ps vita version. I don't know how things go on the pc version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first season I spawn in aside, I will get the seasonal gaint usually 2 or 3 times a year, without changing settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might actually post it in the bug report section. Would love to see more giants, both because they're fun to fight, and for their loot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odal Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I thought Moose Goose required you be around some tech like Alchemy machine and crockpots and stuff. Not sure how accurate that is since even the wiki is pretty bad at information regarding this game, but I always just accepted it because I've only seen him once ever. Also I think the condition on default is that he spawns once during the start of spring, meaning the first few days. I never see him because I'm always happy to be able to wander more freely at the beginning of spring and I spend a lot less time at my base. This may explain why people haven't seen Moose Goose much compared to other giants since it has a time window as well as a character placement requirement. Dragonfly on the other hand: How do you go four summers before seeing him? I've never gotten away with even one summer without seeing him That's one giant that always deletes my world via burning EVERYTHING down. I don't want to cop out by turning him off, but I wouldn't mind going a summer or three without seeing him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadenStik Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 WARNING: Wiki info inbound. Deerclops requires you having at least two structures he can destroy near you, which he will aggro on. The Goose/Moose spawns "if you have three or more base structures built relatively close to each other", and I am pretty sure you just need food for the Bearger to spawn. Not sure what the Dragonfly requirements are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grekon Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 This is just my personal experience but you should just stay in your base and wait for them to come. They will spawn at the end of each season if you are surrounded by structures. The only exception is Moose/Goose that spawns at the beginning of the season. Whenever I want the scale from the dragonfly or the eye from deerclops I just wait in my base at the end of the season. They usually come, at least for me.

emerphish Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have yet to miss a giant that isn't the Moose. In fact, I've never even seen the Moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orian34 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have yet to miss a giant that isn't the Moose.

You can easily end up with a battle royale of the four at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
