NPC chests not reloading without server restart? Server restart causing building destruction? Other bugs...

[cnnorris 2]

Hey, all. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced these problems...

 

1. NPC chests are not reloading their contents unless we go through a server restart. NPC chests have gone empty for days! Only a server restart seems to repopulate the chest contents.

 

2. On a server restart, we're noticing some building destruction. Certain walls fall apart, as an example. Last week, we lost several shrines, and several structures that were up on columns. One guy lost his entire base. I don't have a problem re-issuing building materials as the server admin, but it's a real pain in the ass for our server players to be rebuilding every time there's a reboot. This particular stability issue has only been a problem for us with Survival Servers.

 

Anyone else have these experiences? Do you have any recommendations for fixing the problems? Could it be related to mods? We'd originally had some mods installed, then decided to remove them. I'd hate to have to start fresh, but can and will do a server wipe if that's recommended.
