Padlocks enabled?

Recommended Posts

I play on 434/436 which is 99% vanilla stats.

Myself and everyone I've asked have yet to see a padlock drop to upgrade the wooden gate with.  Are they actually enabled as a drop?

 

Also, is there a bug that screwed up vehicle respawns?  No vehicles are respawning after a server restart and we're down to under 10 left on the map.

 

Lastly, is there an up to date website for vanilla mod changes, recipes, stats, etc?  Every site I've seen is rather outdated.   I'm messing around a lot with base building and struggling to find info about the new changes.

 

 

And where are the best places to farm nails?  One fully upgraded wall needs SEVEN nails!   I have maybe 30 nails total after 2 weeks of daily playing and farming.  I think the requirements need to be lowered a bit.

By asking everyone that plays, and having the only heli. Nothing is respawning after restart. We tested it several times by destroying vehicles right before restart. I check vehicle spawn points constantly. This is 436 which has very few players so it's not like people are taking them

Ok well first you said 434/436 and there's a lot of players on 434.  Ask the admins about respawns.  The original vanilla settings don't respawn vehicles right after restart, and 436 is hardcore so it might be on these settings.  Back in the day on the public hive you could crash a chopper and the burning hulk would still be there after restart, then it would randomly respawn at one of the spawn points sometime within a few days I believe.  Frankly I think the whole respawn immediately after server restart thing is pretty much a carebear setting.  You can crash a plane then log out next to the hanger at server restart and have a guaranteed functioning and fueled plane when you log back in.

But what about padlocks? I have over 30 hours in looking for one. I have been checking industrial and farm mostly, any advice on getting a padlock would be much appreciated.

Someone in 434 named Joe found a padlock. He doesn't seem very experienced but I could get you a meet with him if you like.

Anyone have info on padlock spawns? I was told they spawn in the castles/ruins. Can anyone confirm? 

 

Thanks from a guy who really wants to build a base

We noticed this on Europa aswell and have set maxvehicles to 45 (instead of 75 or 85 that is the new default in the new vanilla db procedures wich will spawn a total of 55 or 56 vehicles) so newly crashed vehicles don't respawn, like you said, on the very next restart.

 

It feels better and our players seem to like it.

I've heard that they only spawn in castles. I've been looking for one for about 40 hours now because every time I'm close to a castle I get shot in the back. But I would like to know for sure as well.
