Dedicated Server spawn issue

I have a dedicated server. I started a fresh brand new world on it using the star system (PC)

Options activated:

cargo ships, Drones, economy, encouters, ORCA, plantary encounters, spiders,wolves.

testing i've noticed:

2 players were playing which was me and my friend. he was in space around pertham and I was on the moon.

on the moon, I saw 1 trade station on it at 12km that spawned around me. nothing else spawned.

when I was in space, only the cargo drops which last 10m or so that spawned. thats it. I once or twice saw a trade faction white color ship appears but not too often.

my friend which was in space saw a space pirate mayday but only saw it once and nothing else.

a day later I decided to increase the global encounter cap from 1 to 2. and this time I saw 2 unidentified signal instead of 1 before. but still no more space pirate, no drones, just those 2 unidentified signals and 1 or 2 trade faction ships.

attachment file is my dedicated server config file.

theres also 3 log files. one from this morning and 2 from yesterday which I hope theres some information that can indicate whats going on.

Note: some mods are in this but nothing (to my understanding) that should modify any npc or spawn behavior.
