How does the heatmap work now? I lit 25 fires and didn`t get much action and that used to set things off big time for xp farming.
 
Well, all the info there is still pretty much the same for the current game from my understanding. Usually screamers don't appear until day 3 if I remember correctly.

Weirdly, there's plenty of text there, but it manages to be rather vague even where correct.

Since the wiki was last updated, there has been a cooldown added; and the spawn was turned into a chance-based system that will spawn them more easily.

Once you hit 25% heat, a random roll is done to see if you spawn one. I think it's a 25% chance, but not really sure.
If one doesn't spawn, the ticking continues.
If it does spawn, the surrounding area goes on a ~20 minute cooldown.

So making a lot of heat, should work, but might only get you that one screamer (or a pair). Any more will have to be summoned by her for the next 20 mins.

Yeah, that looks about right.

This is what we were given by Faatal (I believe) in the dev diary when v1.0 was in experimental testing.
The activity level required to trigger is 25%. A single campfire burning fuel with no other activity takes over an hour to hit 25%.
Once that triggers, it then has a 20% chance to spawn a screamer.
If nothing spawns, reset activity level, and wait 4 minutes without accumulating additional activity level.
Repeat activity level build up, the 20% chance, and the 4 minute cooldowns until one spawns.
When one does spawn, wait 22 minutes for a long cooldown before starting over.

I was meaning that the page gives a decent general idea of how the heatmap works.
