    My auto drops are working fine @ 20 players.
    there was a 9mb download last night on steam maybe that was a hot fix? Strange there is no feedback from devs.

    Your so cute lil one.... Well can you explain how then is anyone supposed to get explosives. Also one of the best parts of the game is the airdrops. Sitting around waiting for it to hit the ground knowing that half the server is either on it's way or watching you.
    the whole plane droping explosives is broken

    i mean its not fine that after a wipe comes a plane and Bam c4 allready the guy have like a bow and a 1x1 building and he is allready runing arround and raiding people.......... i was on a server where the guy had like freaken 200 c4 a week after a wipe every night he gone arround and robbed 90% of the people..........

    should be a limit that after a wipe how many real days need to pass befor it can drop explosives.

    OR

    how often can it drop explosives.

    It was working all night last night after the initial update. No issues.

    Stryd3r, are you on a modified server? I don't know for sure, but I think I remember some mods allowing for scheduled airdrops, which would still work as evident by the fact that calling the airdrop via the admin command works fine. This probably rules out the problem being that 'the island moved'. It would seem to me that the built-in trigger is no longer working. With the new sky, it seems that time is different now, so maybe the time-based trigger for the airdrop was broken (not the airdrop itself).

    Pure vanilla. I called one manually, and players reported 2 more drops after I logged off. I guess there is a chance they got multiple personal drops, but they are pretty rare.

    Yeah, manually calling them works fine.

    I was on a vanilla server for hours that continuously had a 100+ folks on it during that time, and no automatic airdrop. Couldn't those other drops have been from previously acquired supply signals, or did you wipe after the update?

    A wild guess would be that since they changed the island position and location the plane is flying on where the island was before. :P
    The coordinate system is exactly the same. The teleports that worked before still go to the same places, so no.

    Fresh wipe for the update. I dont take chances anymore for big updates. Last time the map was corrupted, and this time peoples inventories seemed corrupted.

    Another good point.

    Some people need to up the sensitivity on their sarcasm detector for when Garry says things like 'we moved the island.'

    Well enough people are complaining it is not working so there must be some issue. Nice that it supposedly works for one or two people but for the rest of us it is a problem.

    When me and my friends where running a server we didn't turn on airdrops for 1 week after each wipe. This gave people a chance to build up, ect. Then we set the air drop number to normal limit so they would appear.

    We found this was a good balance for everyone, as not everyone can spend 12+ hours in their moms basement right after wipe building up mega bases and getting C4 + Explosives to raid everyone on day 2.

    To each there own tho, however it would be nice to see this as a feature that you could enable or more admins doing it as I like everything the air drops give, I just didn't like the frequency on some servers.

    Having the same issue. Ours is also a vanilla server, which seems to be a common theme in these problems. Haven't seen an (automatic) airdrop since the update, though we have had enough players for hours and adjusting the minimum number of required players has no effect.

    I can say Airdrops on Oceanic one arent working properly running Magma / Rust++. If they do spawn (even if players set to 1) they either dont land or despawn as they hit the ground.

    Airdrops not working on my server with HFB. So I did a "scheduled task" that's does the rcon command "airdrop.drop" every two hours. Seems to be working so far

    Tried with a plugin? Or you could set a console task for airdrop.drop every hour or two.

    could someone explain how to set a console task for airdrops every 2 hours or so. Is it possible to have the min player element in this task?


    Thanks

    Is there a "Tasks" Tab somewhere? If so, there you can add a new Task.
    Choose console command (or simmilar) ever hour or 2 hours. Command is aidrop.drop

    Sorry, I dont remember the HFB backend anymore :(

    I can confirm airdrops are broken. I had them set to 0, meaning only one player was needed. Only manual drops work.

    I just spoke with our provider, FPS, and their tech informed me that the timescale was changed with the latest patch and they believe this is causing the airdrops to not work. Plugins and scheduling a task is not working either and I was told the only way to call them was through manual call.

    env.timescale wasn't just changed, it was removed. Day/night is controlled through env.daylength and env.nightlength. Default values is 45min day and 15min night.

    I had some users last night claiming that other servers are able to get airdops. I am not sure how they are doing this aside from manual calls.
