RNG "stops working" on server

[Heptagon-ru]

1.5.2.6, official server.
Few weeks ago noticed the following perks:

• Items from fallen vertical structures (trees, ladders) dropped not in a random pattern, but in a straight-ish line (maybe always north-west).
• Trees in tree-walls or single ones nearly always grew into a minimal variant. E.g. all 10 oaks had trunk height 4 and minimal crown. Kapoks had small 1-block varioations, see screenshot. Pines were the same.
• Bamboos grew into 1-trunk version, without additional sprouts. Less sure about that tbh.
• Pumpkin vines were growing into very long straight lines (issue Pumpkins grow in straight lines, fruitless #40)
• Grass not growing or growing very slowly, just never noticed it grow, big barren areas stayed barren.

Altho seeds were slowly increasing in numbers. E.g. had 12 onions, replanted about 6-8 times, got 13 finally.

After server reboot:

• Grass started growing properly, in 30 minutes all big barren spaces were filled green nearly completely.
• Items from fallen ladders drop in random pattern
• Trees / bamboo / pumpkin under progress atm.

Screenshots:

Items dropping in line:

Tree varioation absence:

Slight kapok varioation:

My brave wolf hunt because it is 1 Apr and nobody reads this:

Fixed item drop after restart:

Will add info about just replanted trees and pumpkin later.

A fix for this is now online on the multiplayer server, let's see how that goes

So after a week of server going, all seems ok.

1. Pumpkins give nice random harvest (all fartherst plots):
   

2. Bamboo also quite random, altho I don't understand why so many single ones. Anyway, multiple shoots from a saplings are quite common. On the pic all bamboo you see is the test one, so I guess 6 saplings gave 1 tree and 3 saplings gave 3-4 treees.
   

3. Trees, ladders seem to be fine.

Shall I close this issue and #40 as resolved, then?

Yeah, I guess a week is enough, I should have closed it. Thanks @copygirl . I'm closing the ticket.
