Questions:
1 - What is it the exact description and role of "External factors coefficient" in RER?
2 - Can you provide an example with possible values from 1 to 10?

Have a good day

Hello sir, I agree that it could be more explicit about what it does! It sets how much impact the environment around the players has on the spawn chances of the creatures and their own individual preferences. It's mostly about biomes like forests, water/lakes, lack of vegetation etc... Setting it to 10 will make it that you'll exclusively see creatures endemic to the biomes you're in
