I’ve invested quite some time into this play and noticed almost no NPC’s showing up, and realized I forgot to change said factor from the unbearable low default. I changed it in-game but noticed no change no far. Is world reset mandatory?

I’m sure i’ve done that before, and unless something’s changed, it won’t need a reset.
I think if anything requires a world reset it’ll say in the description at the top of the screen.

Nope. I sometimes fumble with that spawnrate on the run whenever I need an NPC.
