Okay, that's awesome, thank you! I guess if you're flying, you're not asleep after the transition finishes? Have you tested with anyone else on the mini with you? Curious if they're asleep and fall out of the mini.

Okay, thank you for the reply! Sorry, not sure what you mean by vanishing through the Deep Sea portal. Are there multiple ways to enter the Deep Sea other than just traveling out there and crossing through? As you did in your video.

Hey, no problem. I meant if you enter the deepsea while in noclip

Mounted on vehicle doesnt seem to have this behavior so all good there

Just tested a bit more with one of my admins. If you are in a seat on one of the helis, you are not asleep when you spawn in when you cross the boundary either way. If you are in the back of a scrap heli, you will spawn asleep like normal.

Okay, that's perfect! I appreciate you taking the time to respond and testing things!

Okay, I gotcha! Yes, I have only been to the Deep Sea as an admin in noclip and was assuming (ass u me) things. lol I had a player testing with boats, and he said anyone not driving the boat was asleep after the transition. Appreciate you taking the time to respond and for creating this plugin. I'm sold!

I had a question for you in terms of vehicles, I have it configured for all vehicles enabled to cross into the Deepsea.

I also use this plugin on my server: 
 

They hit an invisbile wall and get bounced back when trying to enter the Deepsea. 

I wasnt sure if it was something on this plugin that could be coded in or if it would need to be modified on the Barges plugin as I am not sure how the other plugin is coded, but would it be possible to enable them to go into the Deepsea as well? 

Thanks for the awesome work on this Deepsea plugin and the responsiveness you provide!

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? 

Are you using Water Bases? If so, update it. The plugin that removed water junk piles for the water bases was causing the ghost ships to disappear.

This one might be a problem, because it is not technically a vehicle as far as the game is concerned.

Seems more like items attached and surrounding a kayak for visuals, possibly the parented items blocking entrance with collision. I would recommend checking with Adem,  I have a feeling he would already be thinking how to change this behavior. 

In case of karuza's vehicles, despite consisting of many different prefabs,  they are done in a way so the game considers the whole thing to be a vehicle rather than  individual parts, they even get their own unique prefab path, hence they go through the portal just fine

Awesome, thanks for the reply!

That was kind of where my thoughts led me on it as well considering how the Barges are done and created by that plugin. I will reach out to Adem and see what he says in regards to them.

Cheers!

Please, add respawn control of ores 

did anyone try using custom modules?

Hello,

I wanted to congratulate you on the plugin. It honestly works very well and has been extremely useful to me. You can really see the work and dedication behind it.

I would like to make a small suggestion: currently the commands are executed through chat, but would it be possible to add the option to execute them from the console as well? It would be great for me to be able to automate them and schedule them at specific times using console commands.

Thank you very much for your work.
Best regards.

When I keep Deep Sea mode always enabled, players park their ships in Floating City and leave them there to stay in the safe zone, which effectively creates a non-raidable base. What can be done about this?

Not entirely sure how t o turn off deep sea entirely.   What settings do we change to what, to have it completely off, as in, never loading at all?

This sounds like vanilla behavior. I recommend submitting a report to facepunch (F7 key) but will think about some built in restrictions.

There's a full example with examples explaining how to do what you ask in the most simple and useful way.

Thanks manky ,  i've let him know in support, should be good hopefully!

Oops my bad, I didn't see the support popup notification.
 

With the latest update (v1.0.5), after a few hours of runtime my console starts spamming the error:

"Failed to create agent because it is not close enough to the NavMesh."

To troubleshoot, I began unloading plugins one by one to identify the possible cause. After further investigation, I went into the DeepSea area and found a large number of NPCs and trees floating in the water.

I force-closed the DeepSea event and uninstalled the DeepSea plugin. As soon as it was removed, the console spam stopped.

It appears the issue is caused by the DeepSea plugin not properly removing spawned NPCs and trees when the event is closed, resulting in leftover entities when the event reopens.

For now, I will revert to a previous version and continue monitoring the server to see if the issue reoccurs.

Could someone please share an example config?
I just can’t get it to work so that the DeepSea stays permanently open and the loot keeps respawning.

It would be great if someone could share a working configuration.
