The number of sleepers the game should spawn in a POI appears to be specified in more than one place.
First, in the .xml file for each individual prefab. For example, this is from a cabin POI.
Secondly, in gamestages.xml.
Suppose the player enters this cabin on Day 1, when gamestage starts at 1.
Controlled by the prefab's xml, this cabin would have 2 + 1 + 3 + [1..2] + 1 + 1 = 9 or 10 sleepers.
Controlled by the spawner group xml, this cabin would have [5..6] + [5..6] + [5..6] + [5..6] + [5..6] + [5..6] = 30 to 36 sleepers.
Experimentation reveals it's the prefab's .xml that matters here. But then, why specify a count in the spawner group and a num in the gamestage? And here's my real question: how could I reduce the number of sleepers at very low gamestages, preferably without having to modify every prefab .xml?
