Try to look at the critterpedia while hosting the other player after having set the critters the way you want; any critter that was unchecked in the Poker should show no availability at all (i.e., all months should be empty), those that were checked should show they are available at all months and times, and those that have the halfway (square) tick should show their regular availability (which, for some critters — such as the C+ —, can be all months and times).Yeah I never closed the game out. What about the unchecked though? Are they supposed to not spawn if I leave them unchecked while connected? I guess this is where lies my confusion because my unchecked appear again. But the fish I want should still be in the code, right?
If you are seeing unchecked critters available at all months and times then your Sys-Botbase is acting up and you have to reset. If you are seeing them with their regular availability then for some reason either Poker isn't working or the game read the files again.
