right...... I may be stupid. it was the loot table. I had set stack size to 4 on large resource loot items (as in 2k-6k stone) thinking that stack size was meant multiplicatively and so it was not spawning properly I'm guessing because if the second or first item it were to put into the loot containers were one of the large amounts of resources it would see that there needed to be at least lets say 2k stone in multiple stacks of 4, see that there wasn't enough room for that and just stop. here's the problem loot table though so you can replicate my problem which is my own fault. I'm so very sorry for wasting your time and thank you so much for your help.
