Bogeyman appearance conditions

My experience playing adventure mode in 43.05 is that bogeymen haven't appeared most nights I've slept outside or travelled after dark. At first I thought that it was because the "sleeping inside a circle of campfires" trick from previous versions was working. Then one night a group of bogeymen appeared despite my campfires, jumped into the middle of the circle with me via a tree, and killed me.

The night this happened was the new moon, so my tentative theory is that bogeymen only come out on moonless nights. I haven't played through enough in-game days to get to another new moon yet, but I have slept outside, completely unprotected, while the moon was up without any bogeymen appearing.

Does anyone else have data on this? --Mintaka (talk) 23:58, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
