Today, we deployed a major update from FacePunch that involved a big change to how NPCs move around. This change broke several NPC plugins, so we held off for a bit to make sure those plugins had a chance to get updated themselves.
All plugins have now been updated and the FP update has been pushed to the server. As with any big change like this, there may be issues that were not seen during testing. So please report any issues on our Discord via #admin-help so that we can look into them for you.
We have seen reports from other servers of NPC (scientists and animals) possibly moving through walls and/or doors with this update. While we haven’t seen this in testing, it is still possible. While this is mostly a FacePunch issue, please do report it to us so we can check it out.
Some monument and boss NPCs may no longer spawn during the server restart. This is due to the changes above. Those NPCs may not appear until a few minutes after the restart once the new nav grid has been given time to load.
