With the reduction in compasses also came a reduction in cargos,
and while before it was making the mnavy rep situation decent
(in my opinion), now it's back to being a problem. I would
like to request that these cargos be findable in other places,
possibly as general loot in some cases or in special situations
where you might find debris (like the Archway or mineshafts of
merchant Minecrafting).

This latter category would make sense since that pertains to
the merchant guild (which would seem relevant to the Merchant
Navy) . The Archway is a ruin and there's lot of piles of lost
stuff. Also, if Acidia was willing, another "end of mine"
possible area could be a pirate or smuggler cove, and that
could definitely have lost shipments lying around.

Anyway. I bet there could some other places where shipments
could reasonably show up, too that non-merchants could get
to, so does anyone else have some ideas there? Thanks!

The amount of compasses isn't the problem. The actually spawn quite often, I'd
argue probably more than before. But the clock starts ticking right when they
spawn and I think only lasts 1 hour. No one is going to stop mid-party to make
10k everytime one drops. I'm really hoping for a tune to reduce spawn rates
some but increase the timer to somewhere between 2-4 hours.

So you're saying that people won't do compasses, despite them loading.
Yeah that's a serious problem. Well, pending that being dealt
with, I would like to see the shipments spawn somewhere
else. There has to be SOMEWHERE that lost mnavy shipments
would logically spawn other than ships... they'd get lost
from wrecks and wind up on shores at least.
How about random beach spawns? It would encourage exploring.
