I mean, Spopo got major buffs so it shouldn't happen at all. Learn the civilian & Survivor spawns on every map, you will need them for a strong early game.
It's kind of a risk exploring the caves and the lava zone as to a new player, you can (kind of) learn the civs that spawn there but the more keys you see placed, you can get discourage to go there, no matter how many times I get send there, if it's not my spawn, not looking for civs on those.
May be off topic, but I feel that all Dimps had to do was simply nerf the genuinely overpowered Active/Passive Skills (Energy Field, Instant Transmission, Jaco Ship, and Immortal Champion for example). The nerfs to dodging and reduced amount of cooldown drinks in vending machines alone, I feel all it really does is encourage more people to run a bunch of meta skills which doesn't really make the survivor experience fun in even the slightest.
