Hi, we use this mod and for us it is a must have, as it gives everyone the option to set their spawn and if they are stuck an ability to unstuck, which is really great. the random spawn function is also great, as it gives our players the ability to faster get to an location suitable for building their base. However, cooldown on random spawn is very important as new players more often then not, continue to click on the random spawn to try spawn inside someones base. The cooldown is a very important option of random spawn for us. Thanks for a great mod, much appriciated!

Aaah, I see, I will fix this later today. I actually thought about how annoying it must be to random-spawn into water/cliff and have to wait... I will try to make it so random spawn can not teleport player into immovable terrain and I also will re-add cooldown timer.

Ok, I released new version of mod. Random spawn is now cooldown-restricted again, I also added unstuck button which has no cooldown. It tries to place player as close as possible, but on tile on which he can stand. This should solve annoying *being stuck for next (x) minutes* problem, while not giving room for abuse.
"Random spawn" and "unstuck" buttons are now possible to disable via mod settings.

I also made some optimization and rewrote code. Therefore I might introduced some bugs, but hopefully there are none. I tested new version for few minutes only. Please let me know if you find any problems using new version : )
