Lunar rift in long running world

Giving Wagstaff the shard toggles rifts to spawn permanently around the map. They are not proportional to killing CC multiple times. One spawns around the map at a time, and after a cooldown of ~10-15 days after the rift closes causes another rift to randomly spawn around the map.

Thank you for the info. But is it supposed to live for less than 5 days? And spawn gestalts one at a time?

It definitely should be lasting longer then that. For reference, a rift will always spawn between 5-6 “waves” of brightshades. This normally, for me, takes ~10 days.

The spawn amount being 1 is not normal, but also isn’t necessary impossible to occur either. Since your world is from before the update, it’s likely that the brightshades are having issues targeting plants due to the herd mechanics not being retrofitted on transplanted plants. Essentially, all of your plants from before the update are considered “wild” plants, and planting any plants afterwards will put them into “herds”, which the brightshades rely on for proper spawning.
