Cave loot crates

[Belier13]

Hello,

Is it normal that I only find 1 loot crate at most when I visit caves? I checked some maps and there are a lot of spawning points; but when I do artifact runs I always find 1 crate - maybe 2 at most and that happened just once.

Playing on unofficial non dedicated server if that matters.

Thanks already.

Sp is notorious for broken cave spawns.... Jen from WC even tried to say it was intentional.... wich we all know is bs.

Best thing you can do is run a dedicated server in LAN and migrate your saves over.

Yes it is normal in caves, every spawn point doesn't yield a loot crate, just the possibility of a loot crate.

Yes it is, and also a "working as intended" feature WC coded into the game.
I don't see why they would lie about it?

Jen tweeted that it was to balance cave farming in SP.... wich makes precisely Zero sense since SP is meant to be official vanilla.... and the bug has been there since day one... ie: looong before the "Singleplayer settings" function.....

Wich is why i call bs on it. I think they simply cant find a permanent fix for it.... and if its still on the to do list.... its waaaaay down the bottom.

Yep, i'm familiar with the tweet etc, but my understanding is that the cave loot/resource thing is hard coded, but the problem with SP resource spawns on the rest of the map is a related bug.

Either way really it needs to be fixed, its not like people cant spawn whatever they want in SP anyway....

I also suspected it might be a single player/non dedicated "tweak" as I had to disable hibernation after my world turned into a lifeless desert. It doesn't matter so much but yeah I wouldn't spit on more loot.

Good GOSH gravey, 'bout bloody time xD

...

Anyways, on a related note, I've only really ever played singleplayer, and for the first time I'm on a server with a friend. What exactly is the normal amount of cave loot crate spawns?

I dont think its hard coded, at least not intentionaly, as it also effects cave creature spawns, or not respawning as the case may be.

I could understand them taking Longer to respawn... but when they Never come back?.... thats a big fat Bug lol

The number of crates is the same.... its the respawn interval that breaks in SP (not everyone experiences it)
