I recommended this and other host options to the devs a long time ago, they never listened.

I would rather they just let groups self police this. Per my comment above sometimes on multi player servers it's not practical not to.

My friends and I found that we had to bring materials from personal games into our coop server.
Specifically, the iron grind was too tedious with 4 people in our seed. We were only able to find 2 sunken crypts anywhere remotely near spawn because several swamps were small and had none. We finally found a few more much later. However, it was still not enough to get 4 people geared up with iron gear, let alone upgrades.

Only two crypts? each world spawns i believe like a few thousand. i might be wrong on that.

We had to travel very far out to find more. I am sure there were plenty, it just so happened that it was extremely far out and with 4 people, mostly new, it was just too annoying to gear up.

It's all in the op's post.

Currently there is no way to stop that from happening. I am hoping they will add a command line to address this issue in the startup script! That way it can be turned off and on and players will have a choice.

Yeah I wouldn't mind if it was as strict as "No inventory in space when entering world". Like, you really have to put EVERYTHING you want to keep in a container before logging out. A simple fix like that would have been great!

I've seen it plenty. tiny to medium swamps relatively close to spawn with no crypts. pretty common. there is a finite number per seed but I don't know what it is. the issue has more to do with distribution. Iv'e seen big swamps far out with 2 crypts, and smaller swamps that are so jam packed that the torch light is everywhere. the most packed one I found ha 34 crypts.

They can still edit anything into character inventory with save editor. There isnt any kind of anticheating in this game as its just coop

Just play with friends and its solved
