Don’t know exact numbers but do know its a radius always on or near (un plotted) land and have the annoying ability to come closer and closer even if you invested points to be “invisible” to them (of course this also depends on the planet lvl how “invisible” you are).
They spawn within a certain radius of you depending on the direction you are travelling. If it’s a particular direction you’re trying to go in you can guarantee they will be between you and your destination.
They can spawn anywhere they bloody well please. I have a 12x12 plotted area and today i found critters in the center on the 2nd floor AND on my roof. You want to tell me they wandered 6 plots, through a narrow opening, and up some stairs. They do what they please…
