CLE Limitation and Ignored Globals.xml Parameters
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

The Central Loot Economy (CLE) appears to be restricted to spawning items of the same type in bulk, disregarding the values set in the 'RespawnTypes' and 'RespawnLimit' parameters in the Globals.xml file. Adjusting these parameters from, for example, 12 to 50, does not have any effect on the loot spawning behavior.

Upon enabling the lootspawn, lootcleanup, and lootrespawn logging settings in the cfgeconomycore file, it appears that the economy is restricted to spawning a maximum of 10 items of the same type every 30 seconds.

This implies that the respawn parameters in the globals.xml file are not functioning as intended. If these values are increased, the economy should be able to adequately restock despawned items.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Completely empty the entries in the types.xml file and add only one item to spawn in the world. In this example, we are using the TL_Wooden_Crate_Medium_Civil, which is a reskinned version of the vanilla Protective Case.
  2. Set the nominal value to 3000, the minimal value to 2999, the lifetime to 3600, and the restock value to 0.
  3. Enable the 'log_ce_lootspawn', 'log_ce_lootcleanup', and 'log_ce_lootrespawn' settings in the cfgeconomycore.xml file.
  4. Ensure that the 'InitialSpawn' value in the globals.xml file is set to 100% and the 'RestartSpawn' value is set to 0%.
  5. To prevent the server economy from entering idle mode during this test, either keep your character in-game or disable idle mode in the globals.xml file.
  6. Upon monitoring the economy system over an extended period, it has been observed that crate despawning occurs at a noticeable rate. Within just 1 hour of gameplay, the first crates begin to disappear, and after 2 to 3 hours, there is a notable scarcity of crates throughout the game world.

Console Log

Additional Information
  • To monitor the number of crates remaining in the world after an extended period of uptime, I used the 'Get Item Stats' tool from the VPP Admin Tools workshop.
