KNOWN ISSUE No random encounters on many of the maps

[ocnoglittle 760]

When exploring new single-player maps in Exploration, about half the time I didn't see any Random Encounters on the islands or see anything on my handheld compass (2 out of 4 maps tried). I actually brought up doing this to make it feel more like Exploration, but I knew it was going to be super unpopular. Was this intended or is it some sort of bug?

Some others also experienced this too:

Hi there! 

We are aware of this and working to fix it. So please just be patient with us while we work to improve the Random Encounters

Thanks for the feedback on this. I've been searching and searching for new custom islands as well as random encounters. I haven't found very many encounters, either new or old ones and no custom maps yet. This is making it a little hard to keep up the excitement for exploration. There are certain non-craftable items that I'm hunting and it is a little frustrating to go to a new island and nothing but regular resources are found. Do you have any timeframe for this fix to happen? Thanks again for working on this!

Just in case you thought it was fixed with the patch, I am still getting this issue.
