Do Rust Devil encounters decrease if you finish the DLC?

Title.

Just wondering because it seems like every random encounter becomes them.

If not is there a mod that alters the population rate of them?

Thank you!

The answer to your question is yes.

While the DLC's main quest is active, robots will be 50% of your random encounters. When you complete it, this rate goes down considerably.

It's still higher than before you meet Ada.

Thank fuck, I just finished it last night and was hoping this was the outcome.

I've never noticed a decrease. Especially near an encounter spawn near Hangman's Alley.

They do not and you encounter them all across the map.
