Hello KLei,

I have a request that might seem a bit unusual, but it’s very important to me. I hope that when "Catcoon" is disabled in the world settings, no Catcoons will spawn anywhere in the world, including the scrap piles in the Junkyard. (Except for those adorable kittens during the Year of the Cat event!)

The reason is that I have an elderly cat who has been with me for 15 years, and her fur pattern is very similar to that of the Catcoon. It breaks my heart to see Catcoons encountering "unfortunate incidents," and even in a virtual game, I cannot bear to see little cats get hurt. That’s why I always disable Stumps and Catcoons in the world settings when I play Don’t Starve Together.

However, the introduction of the Junkyard changed this. Even with Catcoons completely disabled, they can still randomly appear in the Junkyard. Since there are often many spiders nearby, their fate is usually not a good one. And since the scrap iron in the Junkyard is a very important resource in the game, avoiding the Junkyard altogether to prevent Catcoon spawns significantly impacts the gameplay experience.

Therefore, I sincerely ask KLei to ensure that when Catcoons are disabled in all settings, they also do not appear in the Junkyard. This might seem like a minor suggestion, but it truly means a lot to me! Thank you!

（My apologies for using a translator for this message; I hope it makes sense!)

Hi there! Thanks for posting your concern.

World settings for Spiders, Catcoons and Moles do already apply to the spawns from the Junk Piles. However, this was not applying correctly to the Teetering Junk Pile which has now been fixed in-dev and will be live for Thursday. (This will also include a fix for an issue with rummaged Spiders from the Teetering Junk Pile lunging at Webber).

If you're still encountering these spawns when their respective world setting is disabled by Thursday, please drop a bug report and let us know.

Thank you again for posting!
