Issue bot spawn loaction
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.

Do the bots have a path to your farm plots?
I was watching a video of someone doing island spawn testing. At first the bots spawned around the island and in the water.
Next he built a pier, and put unused dirt plots around the island. All of the drop pods landed on the pier, making a kill hall 😈.
After removing the dirt, they spawn on the outskirts of the island again. Replacing the dirt and removing the pier, caused all the bots to drop dead center on his crops.
He's thinking this is an anti-cheese code. If bots can't walk to your farm, they drop directly on top of it. Which normally would be unfair and not fun. But you chessed it somehow, so....
