Newspawn in a town of one?

Postby Black Canyon » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:07 pm

One of my most hermity characters .... living in an abandoned town on and island with barely any peeps on it just got a newspawn! Boy was he surprised. Is this supposed to be possible? There has never been another person pass through his town in the many years he's been there.

At least two people should be required. The code that handles this functionality is really messy, so it could be bugged. We have someone looking at it right now though.

Sure someone didn't pass through when they were inside?

One of my character was born in location with 0 people:

3972-4: Znajdujesz się w miejscu, które można określić ogólnie jako wzgórza. To miejsce stanowi źródło 12 różnych rodzajów surowców, które mogą być przez ciebie pozyskiwane, spostrzegasz również 13 zwierząt.
3972-4: W twoim inwentarzu nie ma żadnych przedmiotów ani surowców.
3972-4: Znajduje się tutaj 4 pojazdów i budynków.
3972-4: Widzisz też 0 innych osób w tym miejscu.
3972-4: Na ziemi leży 25 przedmiotów, z czego 2 to notatki, które możesz przeczytać.
3972-4: Widzisz 0 rozpoczętych projektów lub innych czynności, z czego nad 0 ktoś obecnie pracuje.


Widzisz też 0 innych osób w tym miejscu = You see 0 another peoples in this place.

There was only a ship near coast. But no one in location.

I believe the number of chars in a location is only measure once a day or something, so it could be that two (or more) chars were just on that moment in the town, then continued their journey, before your char spawned.
