Fixtale | Keep your server alive v1.6.2

- The world crash related to cross-world interactions with some NPCs has been fixed. It's a rare event, but it can happen (probably due to some desynchronization), and Hytale doesn't natively know how to handle it.

- The default PerPlayerDistance has been changed from min/max to 4 (previously 4 and 6), and the cooldown has been increased from 5 seconds to 30. Using fixed values is generally better and more stable. This is a safe value, but I still recommend using 2/2 if you want to further reduce the AI load on your server.

- The Ricochet Bow's right-click "attack" has been fixed. I assume Hytale will fix it; when they do, our fix will be removed.

- The protection against corrupt or invalid Spawn Makers has been partially modified. This is an important fix, especially in cases where plugins that interact with entity spawning are used.

This is a simple update, nothing too disruptive. I've added a new OPTIONAL feature to Fixtale: the ability to lock recipes. I understand that for many (as was the case for me on my server) this is necessary, especially if you use third-party plugins that add craftable items you might not want on your server.

• Added NPCDialog compat patch (configurable) to avoid idle‑animation crashes and 500ms world‑thread stalls.
• Default world recovery can now include extra whitelisted worlds via config.
• Item TTL clamp is now configurable (enable/disable + max TTL seconds).

• The default minimum/maximum values for PerPlayerDistance have been increased to 4 and 6, respectively, from 2 and 2. While this was a good idea under normal circumstances, it can cause lag spikes for users with plugins that manage NPCs (inefficiently), such as "NPC Dialog." If you do NOT use this plugin, using 2 and 2 is probably still a good idea.
• An experimental fix has been introduced for the "Store is currently processing!" error related to Teleporters.

• Fix for server crashes caused by SpawnReferenceSystems
• Potential fix for server crashes caused by PlayerRefAddedSystem
• General compatibility update for Hytale "2026.02.19-1a311a592"
• Partial redesign of the "/fixtale fluidrecalc" command; some references were outdated since Update 3 and are now ready and protected for future updates.

Micro-optimizations, improved resource consumption, and a fix to the custom weather.

The chunkStore issue has been fixed, and a custom weather feature has been implemented that completely eliminates fog. However, this may not be to everyone's liking, so it won't be applied by default. You can apply it manually using /weather set fixtale.
