Does the plugin have any control over the loot spawning / respawning in the Deepsea?

I would like to set it to always open but from what i have read, the loot on the ghost ships and islands only respawns after the deepsea reopens.

Will look into that. If necessary, will do some spawn logic.

This isn't a plugin issue, but
Does deep sea spawn only occur at the bottom in custom maps?
I wish this plugin could control it randomly...

Hello,
Does the new "Island Loot Crate Refill" just respawn crates on islands? Does it also effect ships & nodes? If not could we also please get an option for those if applicable.

At the moment just crates. Will work on anything else that is possible for next updates.

I set the deep sea refresh rate to every 2 hours but when it refreshes, it really lags the server. Any chance this will be optimized or is there a setting I can adjust to make it better?

Refresh as in,  closes existing and opens new deep sea?

I set "Open Time Seconds" so it was open for 2 hours. After that, it closes and 5 minutes later, it opens again. When it opens, the server lags real bad. For now I just disabled it from closing and refresh the loot every hour.

Looks like both closing and opening is not very performant in general. The plugin levarages the vanilla behavior for opening and closing.  There's a few complaints about this already with Facepunch.

Most servers are seeing these spikes which can last up to few seconds.  For me when testing,  i notice a slight drop for about 1-4 seconds for both open/close. This can vary by server performance, map size, how much stuff you're spawning in deep sea. But even with minimal content it does that. 

There should be some hotfixes coming from facepunch over the next days including for other bugs. This update definitely wasn't ready to go.

Im gonna keep an eye on things and if there is something that can be further improved on the plugin side, I will definitely include in updates, though at the moment best explanation is the classic 'Blame Facepunch'

Will just like to say I love this plugin but have some questions. Players are not seeing the Ghost Ships. I have set it to 6? And will it be possible to have Allow Building In Deep Sea as a permission?

The ghost ships are most likely there, but not visible.

Try disabling deepsea,  reloading plugin then /deepsea close ,  after few minutes enable again, and run /deepsea open

But i think you might be experiencing a game bug or known issue with Circular Networking. Similar to invisible patrol helis.  If you have the circular networking plugin, remove it. If you use Carbon,  disable circular networking 

Hopefully some more game patches coming soon.

Even after reading the explanation, I still couldn't understand what the following settings specifically do.
I've left it as is for now, but if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what effect it has.

"Set DeepSea Enabled Flag (restart may be required)": false,

"DeepSea Enabled": true

if i have it set to AlwaysOpen will the ships still spawn ?

Everything spawns when the deep sea is generated. 

I'm looking into possibilities for respawning if they're looted. Already succeeded in having the island crates respawned. Hopefully can do something for ships too.

I probably over complicated this setting,   but here's the explainer: 
"DeepSea Enabled"  =  Do you want Deep Sea ON or OFF?
"Set DeepSea Enabled Flag" = This is permission for the plugin to change it, eg if you change setting and reload ^
 

If you want deepsea to be enabled (its default on all servers anyway, unless other plugin or server convar disabling), you would set true/true

If you want deepsea to be disabled,  set false/true


 

is the NPC respawn after a while if i always let it open to let construction there until the end of the wipe?

So far, on my server, the island I chose to build on, I killed the NPC's, and they have not returned. It's been three hours

The plugin does not currently affect vanilla scientists or ghost ships. However it behaves in vanilla, will be the same. 

I am however looking at options to allow respawns if possible.

it was a plugin that was stopping my ships to not spawn WaterBasesJunkpileFix.cs but it has been fixed now
