Hello!

I am experiencing a crash when generating Vulcanus for the first time in a new game. When arriving at Vulcanus the game freezes and then crashes. I am playing on a server, if that makes any difference. The following message appears in the server logs.

17:30:03

This is an awesome mod that I have used for years and has become a staple of my gameplay, so thank you! I hope this isn't too annoying to look into. In the meantime, I'll revert to an older version that worked last week and play on that.

Does this error repeat?
I did not change anything there tbh. It seems to me like it might have something to do with multiplayer but I have no way to fix something like this.

It does repeat, yes.

I actually just tried going all the way back to version 7.0.16 just now, and the error occurred multiple times on all versions I tried. Interestingly, I know that RSO has worked on those versions in multiplayer before, because I've used it. The only difference is that for this map that's failing, I changed the global richness and resource patch size values to 2, up from 1.2. I'm not sure if that would be related or not.

In any case, I loaded the map in a single player game and was able to generate Vulcanus (although the game did freeze for about 2 minutes). I'm going to research/generate Gleba and Fulgora as well, and then re-upload the map to my server and it should be a sufficient workaround.

Ohhh that might be Vulcanus issue. I tried to fix it to not take that long by making separate spawn logic for the needed resources but it seems it still fails sometimes. That probably leads to timeout in multiplayer.
