Searching for nearby players is done in a spiraling pattern around the player today. This search is particularly only useful when your view distance of players gets smaller and smaller, as player density increases to 250+.
I add an additional way to search for players by zone lookup, when your view distance is currently unchanged. I've found this to be less work then doing a full spiral loop every tick, when the area is not dense.
And this is what I get for an extremely packed area.
I also made it so when you teleport into a dense area of players, this will automatically decrease your view distance and switch to search by nearby.
