Start a new game and on day 1 game stage 8 and right off the bat we've already had 6 screamers. This is on vanilla settings fyi.

Nope. About 10 mins into the game placed a land claim block and started putting up some wooden frames. After about 5 min they started coming 2-3 at a time, and had a total of 6. Two out of the 6 got a scream off and had to kill about 15 Zs. If I remember correctly in the spawning.xml it should only be 1 screamer at a time. I've noticed a lot of screamers spawning as well in other games now that I think about it. In groups of two or 3 at a time. Is this normal? No camp fires down either.

Hmm, brand new game on latest version? You didn't carry over a game from an older A17 release?

 
Ah, maybe that's what's going on then. The additional xp is nice, but I know people who abuse the screamers to level up faster. Maybe I can figure out a way where they only come out at night at least.

 
Still I have never seen a Screamer on day 1 in 2000 hours of this game. In fact I don't think I have ever seen one come until I had at least a Forge going.

No panic, people will become greedy.

And such a Screamer farming can fast turn into a screamer armageddon. No matter if night or day.

Besides that its balanced by ammo

 
Yeah farming Screamers is fun.

Doesn't take much to end them if you get a few too many either.

Spikes .... go hide... end of round.
