I have a weird issue I can’t seem to resolve. I have a small private server. We use a few mods (Pippi, Unlock Plus, Emberlight, Less Building Placement Restrictions). I made a communal area of some buildings with some scripted NPCs (courtesy of Pippi). With the latest update, I created a tavern, got a barkeep, and placed it in the tavern. It popoulated and I can talk to the barkeep and hire a couple of the patrons.
My server reboots daily in the early morning. After a reboot, the tavern will remain unpopulated until I log on. I’ve had players there, in-game, in the tavern, saying that they can talk to the barkeep and buy drinks from her, but the tavern is empty. I log on and instantly everyone appears. Everyone pops in at the same time, already seated. Afterward, it stays like that until the next restart.
What’s odd is that taverns belonging to other players who have not logged on are populated. I’ll restart the server, log on, and check out someone else’s tavern, and there’s people going into it. But it doesn’t happen on my character. I thought maybe it was because I spawned in a tavernkeeper, so I activated a purge and rescued one, but still no change. The only thing I can think of is that I’m not in a clan.
Any thoughts or inside knowledge of this?
