Supply drops broke.

I got on after the update and have played for several hours with no supply drops. I tried shortening the time in custom settings but still nothing. Not sure if anyone else had this problem or know of a fix.

I am also having this issue. When I first set it up, they kept on going for 5 minutes then hours went by with nothing. It is now the next day and zero drops, I even changed it from 1 minute to 2 minutes to see if that triggered it and still nothing.

Need to be in zones that support it. Oceans and starting zones do not spawn

I'm going to take a wild guess. If you check your world map, is there a supply drop / meteorite icon somewhere? Maybe you missed it.

They've been working as normal for me. The initial island you start on doesn't have them, you have to enter other areas.

The supply drops are not for new players. The starting zone is where you build your first base, so having supply drops there (in a normally crowded base wise area) would be a really bad idea.

I have been all over the map including the often suggested cherry blossom crossroads and Dune Shelter areas. i'm lucky to get ONE supply drop/meteorite per session no matter what settings I change. It is clearly broken.

Oh, never seen that problem. Are you playing on a server or single player? So I think the supply drops in single player are one every 3 hours, so if your session is 3 hours, then 1 is the expected amount.

Toggling a world from multiplayer to single player seems to stop meteorites and supply drops from showing up. I do not use mods, but as soon as I switched the world back to multiplayer I got an immediate supply drop spawn. It's a bug.

meteors and supply drops trigger when you travel around. there may also be a limit to how many can be spawned at once, they remain if not cleared. all should show on the map, so check for the icon. i get both in single player.

There is no limit i think to how many can spawn. They should spawn depending on what area you are in, such as they wont spawn on the starter island. They can be triggered to spawn depending where you are and how much time has passed. There needs to be enough room for the drop to spawn in, like having enough land around you, might not work in tight corners near the ocean. If you haven't seen one in awhile, check your game settings, default setting is 1 drop every 3 real life hours, so it can take awhile, if a lot of time has passed try teleporting, it can help to trigger the drop as long as you teleport to an appropriate area. and have passed enough time.
