How Do I Make Deep Sea Loot Crates Spawn Again?

[RandomTurtle]

I am playing single player/non-dedicated. I play Scorched Earth for the 4 desert crates.

I went round building shacks with beds and containers in them to be able to farm loot crates with greater ease.

As I placed these the loot crates stopped spawning at these locations meaning the shacks block the spawns.

After I had confirmed that loot crates are blocked entirely by them I demolished the shacks.

When I demolished I only did the foundations since i was lazy and didn't care for the materials.

The loot crates do not spawn at the cleared areas still even after being in a session for multiple hours whereas before they took about an hour to spawn.

Is there a way I can unblock the Deep Sea loot crate spawns?

Structures shouldn't block deep sea crates respawn. I keep pillars near my deep sea crates on the island so I know the locations at a glance.

Are you sure the crates didn't spawn at other locations? only a limited number of deep sea crates can exist at a time on an ark. And old crates don't despawn,

Though crates can change when the server is restarted

This is what the wiki said, however I think it's the Beds or Storage boxes messing with the spawns.

I am 100% certain the crates are not spawning. What I did was when I saw a crate I would build a shack with the loot crate being about a foundation away from the stairs off the foundation out the front door. There are 18 of these locations. I checked all of them, even on the inside in case they move a little. For Scorched earth only 4 crates exist at a time and in previous tests they all spawn in about 1 hour after the session has been running. So I have checked all my shacks after the 1 hour and there are no crates.

Also as I was building a shack after building them I never saw a crate in that spot again.

Personally I fear that because I never "demolished" the beds and they broke because of lack of foundation. The game think there are "ghost beds" as it were that block the crate spawns,
