What does this setting do?

A cargo drop can attract different enemies. This factor weights how often puppets are chosen over other encounters. Higher means drops are guarded by puppets more often; 0 removes puppets from the pool without changing the drop itself. It is a weighting, not a count — how many appear is governed by the encounter settings.
