Re: Are new Eves placed mostly south-east from previous Eves?
In the large, yes, but any single spawn could be any direction.

Re: Are new Eves placed mostly south-east from previous Eves?
The problem here is that a random walk would not be guaranteed to encounter greener pastures. Only by moving in a regular pattern can we guarantee this.

Can you maintain a secondary array tracking where the walk has gone? Like an array that tracks which areas have been used as part of the spawning box.
The implement a random walk, but try again if the random direction lands in a place that the walk has already gone?

I like that there is a direction to run for ruins and towns and one to run in for the wild....

The grid eves spawn on doesn't need to have a random walk, it just needs to have a non-linear one so people can't always find newer/older places by heading in a certain cardinal direction.
Perhaps a spiral (lol) would be perfect for this.

It would be a spiral of grids. Not the old spiral. So eves are always clustered together, but the clusters move on a spiral pattern instead of a linear walk. And it would make the clustering even better, lower distance between new eves and old eves.
