Random Freezing

After this recent update it seems randomly around after 5-10 minutes of my server being up, it starts to lag and slowly crash.
No idea why, could not be plugins do to all of them working previously.
Nothing to suspicious in console.

I bet that you have the same issues as what I'm facing.

Please use the following command in the console

ai.think false

Once done, make sure it's in your server.cfg as well and boot up the server. If the server won't freeze, you have the same issue as I'm facing at this time. There is an AI on the loose that's not having its brains all together. 😋 ( For me, I noticed a chicken being spawned -500 underground being destroyed since the latest patch ) 

06/05/2023 17:16:39 | Invalid Position: chicken.corpse[4523983] (1236.7, -500.4, -1736.9) (destroying)
06/05/2023 16:58:54 | Invalid Position: chicken.corpse[4503127] (1156.6, -500.5, 49.4) (destroying)​

After further checking yup! 
Turns out a boar and and a chicken are being a bit wonky.
What' does ```ai.think false``` really do?

The command makes the AI stand still and look pretty. They will have an IQ that's not higher than a brick from the sidewalk. They stand still, they don't interact and players could easily kill them without being feared of being hugged by the great brown bear. 

I'm afraid I have no answer on how to resolve this, let alone that I have a weird new bug, making chinooks just randomly hang midair. Not sure if it's affected by the AI.think being on false, but if I would activate it again, my server would freeze within minutes. 

ai.think also disables any AI' objects.
including Chinook.

This seems like something Oxide(Rust) would need to fix.

ai.think false | is also not optimal for my sevrer... :(

I'm actually attempting a fix. I'll give you a heads-up if I got the right golden answer for ya. Testing in progress.

As far so good. I was laying down in bed late at night and I realized if those chickens could be the cause, why not just disable the chickens from spawning at all? And.. well, by the looks of it, it's a success on my side. I won't jump much of joy, as it's only been an hour and normally the server would freeze within 10 - 15 min. 

Please perform the following ( based on your finds ) 

chicken.population “0”
boar.population “0”

Place this also in your server.cfg and remove the ai.think false command. Once done, reboot server.

So far so good here. no server freezes anymore. I should have thought of this sooner. I hope it helps for you as well!

Thanks!
