When spawning in, your character disappears, but you're still able to interact with everything.

you mentioned the settings you used were "Atlantic".

I didn't have an issue, but I was right on the edge of water. I can see how a random placement might put the character unable to be used. I restarted several times. Next time I do an update, I'll look into increasing the "safe zone" to ensure the character isn't in water.

thanks

I made a short recording so you can see what's happening: https://youtu.be/xzD97Adbzu0
I did manage to get my character to spawn once, but as you can see, that was not the most common outcome.

ok, yeah, I reproduced it when I enabled the pre-placed silo.
thanks.

I see the source of the problem, but don't think I can easily fix it. The root of it is the silo gets created after the player is there. The game moves the player into the water, hence the god mode behavior. The workaround is to restart until you get a good spawn. I'm ok with that.
