I think the amount of time they're active should be longer and the amount of time they're inactive should be much, much shorter. Balance this to where only 1 spot, and rarely 2 spots, are inactive at a given time. Resulting in having to afk maybe 30-45 seconds and far, far less frequently in the first place than it is now.
As for the random events switching to how it works with fishing/woodcutting, that will already be in the next update!
