The generator tries to place this many veinhole monsters. It makes at most 200 placement attempts in total, so a crowded map can get fewer monsters than requested.

Each monster placed starts with a ring of veins along the border of the five-by-five block centered on it. Map generation lists the placement test.

Monsters are placed only on a map built in the temperate theater. A map whose Biome is tundra or taiga gets none, whatever the setting.

Unless the Firestorm addon is enabled, the setting becomes 0 before the map is built. When a map is generated from a file, a value below 0 becomes 0 and one above 5 becomes 5.
