The Devs have broken the game again. There's nothing you can do except wait for a patch. I suggest you prepare for a long wait.

The mod I use has actually been removed from Steam now for some reason. Sadly I have no idea who the mod creator was as it's no longer showing. Fortunately for me it still works. It's called Market NPC's.

So I started on a new server last night. I like the mod selection and the rates etc but weirdly the map doesn't match what's actually there. I sailed for an hour to get to a Freeport only to find it wasn't there. So far I haven't been able to find a way of getting in touch with the server owner to ask or find a Discord but I have a vague recollection of seeing something, somewhere about updating the map by replacing some files. I can only I assume I have played on this server some time in the past and my game is still seeing a previous map? Does anyone out there know how to update my files so I can see the 'real' map?

I think you're right. If there was any genuine interest in making Blackwood good the numerous errors would have been sorted a long time ago. As with PVE, the single player game is not of interest or concern to the devs who purely want PVP with large companies. Having said that, I have overcome my problem with the seeds on Blackwood by spawning in a Seed merchant from a mod.

I'm assuming no-one has solved this yet? SO frustrating. it's bad enough the map is broken but when there's a kind of fix available for at least some of the problems but you can';t get the info anywhere...grrrrr. Ive tried several variations on spawn codes to try and get the seed merchant without luck.

Having same issue both on server and SP.
