Shadow guard merms wont spawn in caves?

[proslayer]

When my merm guards die in the caves they don't come back as shadow merms. Why is this? I have a king active in the surface world.

When I played with her, which was when her skill tree came out, I made a king in the caves. I think the surface king has nothing connected to the caves, I think.

Actually, that changed with Wurt's Skill Tree update! The Merm King's presence is now shared globally across the surface and the caves. This means if you have a king on the surface, you will still keep your buffed stats (250 HP/Hunger/200 Sanity) even when you are underground. You no longer need a separate king in each layer.

I am aware of this but the shadow guards don't spawn when my merm guards die in the cave. Maybe it's a bug? If it works for someone else it would be nice if they can confirm it.

I will try and build a king in the caves to see if it helps with the shadow guards. But there is nothing in the skill tree saying that i need a king alive to for the shadow merm perk to work.

Nevermind, I found the problem. It was caused by a mod i was using called 'Follower Badges Together'.
