    I've been 'afk' for 3 weeks not able to get to a computer. I've had co-admins help out on the server while I was away. I have seen reference that Eleeon made changes to the spawn of the POIs.

    I'm trying to get my POIs to respawn but they aren't.

    Here is an example of a drone base on Desert2 for Vyrdis:

    POIs:
    Random:
    - GroupName: DroneBaseNingues
    DroneBaseSetup: DroneBaseSetup
    CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]
    DroneProb: 1.0
    DronesMinMax: [ 3, 5 ]
    ReserveCount: 5

    - GroupName: PlanetVesselBase
    PlanetVesselBaseSetup: PlanetVesselBaseSetup
    CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]
    DroneProb: 1.0
    DronesMinMax: [ 2, 3 ]
    ReserveCount: 3

    The drone base has been destroyed and is not respawning.

    What do I need to change to get them to respawn now?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    First I would recommend having a look at the FAQ for setting up POI's to regenerate http://empyriononline.com/threads/r...-mp-customization-scenario.11204/#post-127371

    Also you can look at how its done in the scenario for 'Default Multiplayer' in either SP or MP folders

    SP folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Scenarios\Default Multiplayer\Playfields
    MP folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Scenarios\Default Multiplayer\Playfields

    Open the 'desert' playfield for example in this scenario folder & scroll down to the POI entries.
    The new entry you need to setup to have POI's regenerate under where it says 'Properties' is this:
    - Key: RegenAfter
    Value: 720

    For example the drone base setup with regen will look like this:

    Code:
    ### POIs
    POIs:
        Random:          
            - GroupName: DroneBaseOmicron
              DroneBaseSetup: DroneBaseSetup
              CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]      
              DroneProb: 1        
              DronesMinMax: [ 2, 3 ]        
              ReserveCount: 3      
              Properties:
                - Key: Music
                  Value: DarkSoundscape  
                - Key: RegenAfter
                  Value: 720
    You may also want to check your playfield files are upto date also & not missing newer entries.

    ok another question if you don't mind. I added the RegenAfter and put it at 72 for testing. Restarted the server and it's about been a couple of hours. The existing cored drone base is not regenerating. Is there anything I need to do if it was already cored and partially destroyed to get it to regen?

    Thanks again!

    When you open the console in game is there a message about any POI regenerating ?

    You may need to start a new save or you may be able to go into the save file & delete that playfield folder that you are trying this with & I think the sectors.yaml also then reload the save & it might work that way. Before doing any editing of these files shut the server down & start up again when you are ready.
    Before trying that though you would need to have everything you have in that playfield moved to another planet or space as they will get deleted.

    72 game hours = 3 real life hours also.
