i read this twice and i still dont get it
does the button spawn or despawn it? or do the old women kill and the old men spawn?
whats stopping your elderly brother from spawning all the time just for you

My brother could hit the buttons but he can't control 3 dozen elderly women from doing what they please. It's pretty laughable. There's a reason the nurses station isn't in the dayroom. That's their turf, he says.

Anyway, the buttons don't "control" the spawns, they add old lady variance. They can opt to set the button how they wish. That changes as the day progresses. It's not chaos, it's just like watching a "stubborn river" if that makes sense.
