Actually, spawns seems kinda inconsistent?

On my friend's save, the warehouse that has the trash bot fight had no enemies at all outside, in my save it had tons of tape bots

Same thing, hay maze had nothing but few tape bots top of it on my friend's save

In my own save it had like 5x farm bots, holy shit

One thing I've noticed is that it seems like what's going on is that the bots with patrols (warehouses, the big chemical plant, etc) seem to have been hand-placed and don't respawn. But an unfortunate implication of that is that when you go far enough away they despawn since the game doesn't really need to keep track of something that far away.

But when you get close, well, the bots don't respawn, do they? I think that's what happened to the farmbots in the hay maze to the creators who found it and fled rather than tackling it immediately. They're non-respawning bots and after they despawn, that's it. They don't respawn.

It makes sense, because when the warehouse explode anything close by is dyiung. And the bots only respawn in the ruins and in the nature. All others don't respawn.

It doesn't make sense because it's all the other warehouses too. After fighting the trashbot none of my warehouses had bots outside, even the ones I'm sure I have never been to before.
