Non Factorum Cargo ships and Encounters Not Spawning
Random Encounters and Cargo ships are not spawning on dedicated server and singleplayer worlds. IE: Private Sails, Mining Carriages, Business Shipments, Etc.
Economy, Enable Encounters and Cargo Ships are checked in advanced world settings.
Asteroid Amount and Encounter Amount are at normal densities.
Economy stations are populating, and global Factorum encounters are working.
Testing on 3 separate computers all unmodded.
1st Computer is Admin for a dedicated server, It is running a brand new save with the "Star System" start and currently has 4 players who all claim that no Cargo Ships or Random Encounters have been seen yet. Admin commands were used to search for encounters by teleporting through space at 50km increments to generate new asteroids all while monitoring the Entities List.
2nd Computer is offline running a single player "Star System" start and is flying through space watching for Encounters.
3rd Computer is offline running the same map and is stationary at a player built station within 5km of an Economy station.
Testing has only been going on for 4 hours but I feel that's enough time to make a report. Cargo Ships and encounters were functioning before the update.
I have the same bug
Just wanted to update this. Quite a few others and I have been testing this issue and it looks like its limited to Torch Dedicated Servers. Everything is working perfectly with the Steam Space Engineers Dedicated Server.
I did make a video about the issue here, https://youtu.be/gE3M3S_lK4c. Since this is a Torch issue and not a Keen bug all following bug reports will be through the Torch Discord.

I'm having an issue similar to this. I get encounters from SPRT and other factions, but I'm not getting SPRT cargo ships at all. I've tried multiple new saves (vanilla) and no luck. I also have also tested the dedicated server from Steam.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting the issue. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
Could you please verify that the issue persists even after increasing Pirate PCU, that's the most common reason for various encounters not spawning.
Kind regards,

This is happening on single player too. No encounters at all

Found something. At least it works for me. I spawned in space in a new game (survival, modded, but mostly minor stuff). And suddenly i had 3-4 pirate and mayday near me. Left the area to look for a nice asteroid to build base. And no cargo ships. Checked log files and then in game. Turns out the NPC PCU limit was full. Removed everything except for the starter trader. few minutes and a cargo ship went by. Then nothing again. PCU limit was full again. Removed everything again. Few minutes and another cargo ship went by. I only moved around to get some ores from asteroids nearby. But the games spawned a lot of stuff and none of them was visible. Stealth pirate ships, ghoul ship, whatever magical stuff hiding in space. I don't use any mod that add extra encounters or whatever.
In short: not enough pcu for npc faction. fills up fast and not auto deletes them most of the time. Also looks like trade station use the same. So discover a few station and the limit is full. So either go there and grind it out, or delete the grid in alt+f10.
Might be a good idea to make a separate pcu limit for cargo ships only. Thats only for 1 or 2 cargo ship. Not much excess stress on server/pc, but still has some minimal movement around you. Also make the npc pcu limit changeable. Or is it possible to up the 25k limit?
