Steel Path Larvlings bugged?

[Foo_Prime]

I've done 72 Steel Path missions so far but I didn't have a Larvling spawn not even once. Every time I am in an eligible Grineer mission for a Larvling to spawn, the screen always flashes red as if a Larvling is about to spawn but NEVER does.

I don't know if this is intended but I don't see why Larvlings shouldn't spawn in Steel Path and then why the red screen flash if they don't?

I don't think team composition is relevant but I soloed all 72 missions.

 

PS. This other thing is not a bug but rather DE's incompetence... from the 72 mission I got 3 extra Steel Essence from Eximus which is hilarious.

I also notice that the Larvlings didn't spawn. The first time I soloed I think maybe because I didn't killed enough. But as I played I did notice that even if I kill a group of grinner in a row right after the screen flash. It still didn't spawn. Which I think it maybe because originally, it'll spawn at saturn onward (which I still didn't reach in steel path).

TBH, I don't really think it'll make a difference if the Larvling spawn at steel path or not. But the red flashing is really making me uneasy.

PS. Also, I heard that steel essence drop rate from eximus is 2%.

i wonder, if this only works when the full map is done in steel path too. else the lich might be in a still locked part... at least on the steel path map ^^)  would be fun getting a extra badass lich for steel path only.

as for the essences, i think that the 2% are ok - i got 4 so far and only completed 2 planets (that is 4 as drops, not the rewards for finishing a planet).
