Hi,
today i have tryed changing alot of settings, inkluding new map seeds etc.
Allmost all my bases spawn in snow but i cant figure out why.
I want my bases to spawn inland, all over - but if i set Allow Raid Bases On Beaches": false, i ONLY have the bases you see here on the map, in the snow.

What do i need to changes in config ?

heya, I can't say without your config file.

TL;DR, it's likely your config as your map has an abundance of available spawn points given how flat some of the areas on your map are. you've likely changed the biome settings, or have forced everything elsewhere.

 

General information - Map Terrain

I do not support spawning bases on bumpy terrain—design them on flat terrain only. Fortify on Steam is perfect for this, and there are plenty of bases available there. Be careful when downloading bases from ANY source: vet them first, and remember that bases are not all designed equally. Stability can be shaky in some, causing them to crumble as they paste in. Inventories may contain items the designer forgot to remove. Worst of all, some bases aren’t copied properly from their centermost foundation—copying at the wrong height can make them spawn below the map or way above it. If you look at the ground, paste it in, and it appears elsewhere, it was not copied properly. Recopy it—don’t rely on ANY height settings in profiles! Those settings are for MINOR adjustments, not for bases that got yeeted halfway around the world.

If the plugin is ignoring terrain, it's usually due to one of three reasons:

  1. The terrain is not flat enough for bases to spawn on- bases should be designed on unobstructed flat and equal terrain.
  2. You've modified a setting in your config or profiles, use compare in Notepad++ or diff on the default config file, and your config file, and see what changes are different. This is the EASIEST way to see what you've changed!
  3. The spawn point is blocked by a worldy or invisible entity. Just because you can't see it does not mean it's not there. RBE DEBUG (see documentation) exists solely so you can spot issues like this on-the-fly. Understand that debug contains GOOD and BAD information, use your common sense to narrow it down weighing the highest number occurrences of BAD debug at the most likely causes. Easier than it sounds.

No worries. If your map’s terrain is bad, you’ve still got options: the beach, the water, or custom spawn points. Shagadelic, baby.

  1. Custom spawn points - use Spawns Database plugin, create spawn points yourself, and put the name of the file (eg: nivexspawnpoints10 - note that .json is NOT appended to the end of the filename, do not append it, using the filename without its path or extension as I've shown) in your config OR profile (not both, highly recommend profile only).
  2. Allow Raid Bases On Beaches - in the config, not the profiles. This is for the beach and all beach terrain under the water within its vicinity, usually a very short distance out from the shore.
  3. Water Settings - In the profiles, not the config. Highly recommended: Water is abundant in the ocean, surprise! Enable within your profiles, force them on top of the waters surface. Highly recommended for maps with bad terrain.
    Allow Bases To Float Above Water: true
    Chance For Underwater Bases To Spawn: 100
    Spawn On The Surface Of Water: true
    Ignore Land Level On Seabed: true
    Prevent Bases From Floating Above Water By Also Checking Surrounding Area: false
    Maximum Water Depth Level Used For Float Above Water Option: 1
    Minimum Water Depth Level Used For Seabed Option: -20 (forcing the spawn points AWAY from the shoreline)

Keep these settings enabled (true), knowing that changing them can and will break the plugin depending on the maps you use. Some maps may embrace these changes, while others will feel like a distant echo—terrain reduced to nothing, the memory abandoned entirely, lost to the abyss for all eternity. Just kidding—use the damn water settings and quit pouting. Bad spawns are notoriously brutal on custom maps.

  1. Allow Raid Bases On Beaches
  2. Allow Raid Bases Inland
  3. Allow Raid Bases On Building Topology

Enable (true) these settings if you're in desperate need of more spawn points:

  1. Allow Raid Bases On Roads
  2. Allow Raid Bases On Rivers

Do not use these options if you have high traffic on railroads

  • Allow Raid Bases On Railroads

Do not modify Allow Raid Bases In Biomes without understanding that disable a biome will prevent all bases from spawning within that biome!

  • Allow Raid Bases In Biomes
    Arctic: true
    Arid: true
    Temperate: true
    Tundra: true or false
    Jungle: true or false

Last but not least, the most important of them all for anyone not using custom spawn points from Spawns Database plugin (see documentation):

  • The number of potential spawn points is displayed when the grid loads. First, the plugin must initialize, then it generates potential spawn points across your map. Once this process is complete—usually within a few minutes—it will output the results to your server console.
Quote

Grid initialization completed in 200 seconds and 0 milliseconds on a 4500 size map with 5000 potential points

  • If potential points are under 1000, the map has poor terrain, or you’ve disabled too many options in the config.
  • If potential points are above 1500, you’ll have a reliable amount of spawns. This number will naturally decline as players build more bases on the server.
  • If potential points are above 2500 but nothing spawns, your config and/or profiles are set up incorrectly. Read the documentation.
  • Do not disable biome options in the config. Doing so blocks all spawns in those biomes.
