No, the amount of spawns is based on the worldsize.

An example would be a 4k worldsize will always have 16 minicopters.

Unfortunately, in today's update we've had to revert some changes made in December's update to resolve an issue with clients crash on joining a server.

You're using the "Rust Staging" client which is for testing the latest changes, this is often unstable and has a lot of work in progress features as can be seen in your screenshot.

I highly recommend installing and using the normal "Rust" client.

Changes include:

• Server performance optimizations

• Exploit fixes

• NRE fixes

• Skin bundle update

• Added options toggle for Rich Presence

the turret has become useless, you can just run to the side and it will not shoot at you, the tower will constantly turn and not keep up with the players. It can be useful only in 2 cases, if the player runs straight to the turret directly (or runs away) or stands still...

The auto turret rotation speed was never slowed in the last patch, in fact, we increased the rotation speed when locked onto a target.

This my testing on a vanilla server:

I further tested with a variety of weapons, ammo and server performance and could not reproduce the results as in the video.

Rustafied EU Medium 3 is running a 4K map that has neither launch nor military tunnels nor excavator. Yes, that's primarily an admin failure, but perhaps there's an underlying problem with the procgen.

While this is not a bug, the feedback is useful and we'll look at improving this going forward.

Keep getting a sound glitch after hover looting placing things in and out of the TC. Keep hearing the same clink noise or clunk depending on what I'm moving around for a few repetitions until it eventually goes away

We're still investigating this issue, are you by any chance near the launch site?

my server crashes anytime a turret targets an NPC. It has also crashed when I was at Large Oil and scientists targeted me. Another time when a scientist on the road targeted me. The entire server basically resets. We've instructed our players not to place turrets until future notice.

We're not currently aware of any such issue. If you're running umod / Oxide please make sure you're using the latest version.

Do you know how long we should have to wait until it’s patched? Just like an ETA kinda deal so I can go do things then be back to play

I'm hoping within the next 30minutes.

This is a recurring theme where the game is broken in very obvious ways after an update. Do you guys not have testers?

Unfortunately, this is one of them bugs which do not appear until played by the masses.

Staging is tested by ourselves and approximately 400 players compared to tens of thousands on live servers. The change responsible was locked down for the past 16 days.

If you look here

This is also incredibly frustrating for us as it is for you.

Get this nullref kick error continuously. Cant join after trying to connect like 20 times

We're currently investigating and hope to have a fix out shortly.

Update: Client update is now released to resolve this issue.
