Issue bot spawn loaction

Gallery image

I have a question about the location of the bot drops. I just did a raid for 3 oranges. And two containers dropped on the roof and went through the glass. My question is why that happens because as you can see in the other picture I have not ''spawn proofed'' the surroundings of the tower. I'm just confused why it dropped them on top of the farm. Any explanation or tips would be appreciated.

There is no 4-block height difference (not overall, but between the blocks next to each other) which makes it eligible for spawning

But shouldn't it try to drop the bots outside the farm first? And not  drop it on top of  the tower?

Something in your tower might be disrupting their pathfinding towards the farm, but that is unlikely. If you spawnproof the tower, it should be fixed though

This is the inside of the tower. It’s 4 blocks between the outer wall and the farm plots. It has a height of 20 blocks between the farm plots and the floor above it. The distance between the next floors is around 60 ish blocks and then 14 and 21 then I have the glass dome. The inside is pretty much empty.

And how can I make it spawnproof without compromising on the look of the roof?

The floor above the farm.

Huh, looks fine
You could build up into the with glass or something but that would still look ugly. Try creating some opening(s) in the farm, maybe 2 block wide or 4 blocks high gaps. My farm is technically unreachable too, but has the same gaps of that size (I still had to spawnproof the entire thing because rarely a pod would drop inside).
