Bug Description:
The Darfari Camp “The Corner of Bones” will often stop spawning Darfari NPCs if there is any player-built base (even if any of the player-placed tiles are 20 ou 30 tiles away from the camp). This doesn’t happen with other camps, it appears this camp is much more “sensitive” to player-built structure. If possible, please reduce the proximity required between player-built structure and the camp to stop spawning NPCs, because this is an important camp for capturing thralls for low level characters in the desert.
There is a large flat area in that region which is very good for building a large newbie base, but even if the base is 20 tiles or 30 tiles away from the camp, the NPCs there will stop spawning.
Bug Reproduction:
Build a medium-sized base in F5 or G5 and start the single player there (spawn the main player character there)
I use the default Land Claim Radius Multiplier, I haven’t changed that value at all since starting my single player server game.
I wasn’t aware of that setting. I will try maybe lowering this Land Claim Radius Multiplier (maybe to half of what it was before). Thanks for this suggestion.
However, some stone nodes respawn very close to my base (on the opposite side of the Darfari camp, these nodes spawn on the foot of the hill where some Rocknoses spawn). So it seems that, in theory, resources are spawning normally close to my base, at least in one of its sides. These stone nodes are much closer to my base (3 or 4 tiles) than the Darfari camp (more than 20 or 30 tiles), and they spawn normally.
I believe I have discovered the cause and reason of this problem.
The cause is not so much the size of the base, or how very near it is to the Darfari Camp (hence, Teng’s purge base was even nearer than my base and didn’t experience a problem). I believe the problem is your player character spawning near the camp (in other words, starting the game near the camp).
When I start the game there, due to having my main bed in that base and also usually exitting the game inside my main base (which is near the camp), everytime I spawn, the camp is empty. If I then go to a different place of the map (different tile), and then come back, the camp is respawned with NPCs.
@Teng Do you have a bed in that purge base and you start the game inside that base? Or do you have a different main base, and you just go to that purge base whenever you want to do the purge? I think that is the reason. I believe you have to spawn in a base near the Darfari camp for this problem to happen.
