Well, I know that without glitches, the counts stay within reason.
The total number of employees glitches out if you kill the last Native Mudokon in RuptureFarms II with a grenade, but yeah looking back at older threads the rescue total can only be increased beyond 9 by forgetting to fire flintlocks and then rescuing Mudokons in a trial (in one of the secret passages) a second time.

That aside, excellent interview Nate. Definitely made for a good read and added so much more insight into the Odd world, expanding on those extra nuggets of knowledge I learned from the Eurogamer presentation and prior knowledge.
