Crash Related to Simple Spawners
I have already solved the problem but i think the fix is only temporary - Refer to this discussion https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/346110/discussions/0/3187988018478700168/

The Crash only happened when using Simple Spawners, but it didn't happen immeadiately which allowed me to disable all the spawners before they spawned anything and i've seen no crashes since i disabled the spawners. Force Spawn doesn't cause crash, neither do any other actions. therefore i think the crash may have been due to spawners automatically spawning (The crash log is in the discussion linked above). i have 5 creature spawners (2 rock drake, 1 maewing, 1 tek stryder, and 1 shadowmane/noglin), 2 resource spawners (Sandy Stone/Hot Environment tree/Joshua Tree/Bush/Ant Hill) and (Lunar Stone(Large)/Lunar Stone(Small)/Lunar Stone(Small)).

From my experience, it is when you use the bottom slot in a resource spawner, and also try to keep each resource slot at or below 500 spawns per resource spawner.

Next update hopefully fixes the issue.

yeah i definitely meet the requirements for a crash, the Lunar Stone spawner had all of them set to 999 resources per spawn, and the other spawner had the bottom slot filled

So let me just see if I understand this correctly. So say I wanna spread like 1000 mushroom trees through an area like the redwoods. If I wanted to avoid issues(mostly the crashes) I would put say two mushroom tree spawners with 500 trees each and nothing else correct. Or would it be better to be even safer and do like 250 over 4 spawners?

I think 2 doing 500 each would be fine.

I have the problem fixed in the update coming relatively soon.
