Try locating your ServersSettings.ini file, it should be located somewhere in :

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\SCUM\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

When you open it, look for the paragraph that reads :

[SCUM.WorldEvents]
TimeBetweenEventsMin=30
TimeBetweenEventsMax=240
CargoDropFallDelay=60.0
CargoDropFallDuration=60.0
CargoDropSelfDestructTime=1200.0


That's where you can edit your SP supply drop rate. The above pasted values are default.

Still the drops do not ...drop.
At least not for me and some others in SP.
I guess I had now around 30 hours in SP since the last patch and had an airdrop twice in that time.
One landed in C3 one in B2.
At both occasions I spend a lot of time in the North of the map before D1-4 before heading down South.
Both times very short afer I crossed the D/C border the notification for the airdrop appeared.

Nothing happens when I am in other parts of the map.

i am having the same issue. and my setting where the same as what bunny said they should be. singleplayer, i also repair my anticheat. did the file check, even uninstall the game and reinstall. must have something to do with my save game setting is the only thing i can think of where it could be mess up. possible when the game crash last week. before that everything work fine.

Try changing it to:

TimeBetweenEventsMin=2
TimeBetweenEventsMax=2
CargoDropFallDelay=1
CargoDropFallDuration=.5
CargoDropSelfDestructTime=600

These are the settings I have on my server atm. I was testing out the numbers and it gives me a cargo drop roughly every 2 minutes with 1 being destroyed at 10 minutes so there's consistently 5 on the map.

Alternatively, you could set it like this:

TimeBetweenEventsMin=10
TimeBetweenEventsMax=10
CargoDropSelfDestructTime=900

This should give you one drop every 10 minutes with one destroyed at 15 minutes.

Agreed, tried same things with no positive results

[JonExx]

Same here... I also tried with shortening the time between events.
No effect.

We are looking into the issue and we will do our best to resolve it for the next update / hotfix.

Okay.... it looks as if I am getting Airdrops in SP now...but only if I am in a certain region of the map.

I did some testing today, with these settings for Airdrops:

[SCUM.WorldEvents]
TimeBetweenEventsMin=5
TimeBetweenEventsMax=10
CargoDropFallDelay=60.0
CargoDropFallDuration=60.0
CargoDropSelfDestructTime=3600.0

I started with a new character in D4, way up in the North at the coast.
I stayed in the North and slowly made my way down South to "Big City", did some business there.
No airdrop for 1:10h.
I moved further South to C3 (to "Zargoje") and got the first Airdrop at 1:20h (dropped at the C3/B3 border).
Then a second at 1:38h (in C2)
and a third and fourth (in C3 and B3)
I picked them all. So I stayed in that C/B area of the map (besides: two of the drops, N#1 and N#4 were Puppet-Drops...)

After that I stopped at 2:20


Started a second session with the same character still located in C3 ("Zargoje").
Got two Airdrops after 15 and 18 minutes (both in B3).

Went back to the Big City and spent the next 1:30h in the D area of the map:
No more airdrops until I made my way back again to Zargoje.

Arrived at Zargoje (C3) at 1:57, got notification of the first airdrop at 1:58.

I'll see whether I made this test again tomorrow....for today that shall be it :)

Looks as though already now it's pretty obvious that there's some hickup in the Airdrop-Mechanix

You might be onto something here, I have been getting zero airdrops but stay in the D area of the map. I'll have to test this as well and travel into another zone besides the D's

Yeah, probably...

I continued in a third session with the same character, stayed in Zargoje (C3) for quite a while....
No Airdrops in about 90 minutes.

So it looks as if passing some certain "trigger-point" on the map is needed to start the airdrop-mechanism.

Will continue the trials by moving back to North and back again.
