b MP desync after vengence squads form

Rampant version: 1.1.1

The version of Rampant: 1.1.1
What is your map evolution: 80.58%
Was Rampant added at the start of a game: yes

A brief description of what you are experiencing:

I have been playing on a map with a friend on a dedicated headless server we have set up and have now reached the point where we frequently desync only when playing on a dedicated server. We can play if one of us hosts with no desyncs. I've attached the server reference save game from a desync report, when I load this save on a dedicated server I get a desync within 1 minute of joining every time and it happens after Rampant prints several messages about creating a Vengence squad. I've verified that removing Rampant (with all other mods enabled) and there are no desyncs and the desync in this reference level always happen immediately after vengence squad creation.

There are two of us who play, I'm running Factorio on Mac he is running Factorio on Windows. We both desync at the same time when this occurs.

Reference level (I desync after about a minute when connecting to a headless server that runs this)

I'm unable to reproduce the desync with your save.
I have tried upto two linux Factorio clients on a linux headless instance.

Hmm very strange, I'm still able to reproduce it easily every time I load into the server starting it with that level. Makes me think it might be something to do with our mod settings perhaps? I've attached a link to the mod-settings.dat file I use to reproduce the issue:

Here's a screenshot of the main Rampant startup settings we have:

We have new enemies enabled, 1-8 enemy levels, 3 variations. I think you should get all the settings exactly as we do if you load a server with the mod settings file I've attached.

Edit: I don't seem to get the desync on the leve I provided if I set enemy variations to 1. Could you confirm if you see the same issue when using these mod settings?
