Sorry to hear that, from what I’ve read those settings are supposed to kick the server in the rear and make sure it always does a spawn pass on server start. The only thing I could suggest is disable all mods and see if that’s potentially the issue. You didn’t list any, but if you do use them, they usually tend to be the culprit for any weirdness.
Found the setting to make building not effect thrall camps and turned that on. Not sure if that would have factored in at all since there wasnt building nearby but i made that change and yours and its working now so thank you xD
