Sometimes Zombies randomly respawns at a claimed Safehouse. Is there a setting on dedicated servers that I could maybe disable it?

As far as I know that should not happen, when do they spawn exactly? Is the server being restarted when they spawn?

I will try to ask my friends, because they are the ones encountered it. But I think that maybe it, we restarted the dedicated server several times due to changing some values for QoL. That may have caused zombies to respawn on safehouses.

#

I will try to observe and will get in a few hours to update you on this.

Is the server being restarted gracefully? (Meaning using the save and quit commands)

#

Because this can happen if you just forcefully shut down the server, zombies do not save correctly in that case

How to save and quit? I use CTRL + C, then wait for the prompt asking to close terminal Y/N. Does that not save and quit properly?

#

Yikes, no that is not the correct way

#

That basically just stalls the server and then terminates it

#

The proper way is typing the "save" command first into there to make sure it all saves, then typing the "quit" command

#

The server will then save everything and stop itself, then it will tell you to press any key to close the console

#

oh sorry, I also use "save" before CTRL+C

#

so, I should use "quit" instead of CTRL+C?

Yes
