Logs despawn too fast

[󠁳 ⁧HardLimiter]

I noticed that very often.
I chopped 2-3 trees, throw all logs on one spott (with kelvin).
I used them to build my house.
After 1min, I missed 8 logs.

I count them at the beginning: 30 logs.
After 3mins I had only 21.

Could cannibals have stolen some without you noticing?

[Tschetter]

I agree. It kind of bothers me that if you chop down a tree, save the game and immediately load it up, all those logs are gone. The despawn on loads and the rate important things like logs despawn in game is a little unfortunate imo.

yeah its pissing me off a bit. I built my house on a lake so i clear cut all the trees along a stream leading up to it with kelvin because i didnt one to clear cut next to my base. while he was chopping trees I started throwing them in the stream so they would float down into the lake and would be closer to the house.....after chopping 10+ trees and throwing all the logs into the stream there might of been 8-12 logs waiting for me in the lake. Thats a lot of wasted logs and time.

i just saw a vod from a streamer where he build a dam to catch the logs flowing down the waterfall and river , after a few minutes all logs where gone

maybe you never cut them at all

[Stiicky]

Make log storage from sticks - prob solved

[Skunk]

They despawn sadly, just stick them into the ground and pick them later (with C key I think) so they won’t despawn.

No, they 100% despawn.

I cut down some trees, threw the logs on a safe place.

The place was always in sight, because I built only a few meters away from it.

Quite often there were fewer logs in the end than I counted.

And I don´t talk about 20 mins or fedw days, I´m talking about <5mins while I use these logs to build my house.

But I noticed it with dead bodies yesterday too.

I killed a group with 8 enemies.
Throw them into the fire for bones.
After the 3rd was burned, I had only 2 more on the ground.

Yeah despawn times are crazy, hope they fix it in the upcoming updates

Yeah, the despawn time of dead bodies is crazy, too. I killed 2 guys, walked away 20meters, came back after half minute, they're gone... How should I show those cannibals not to mess with me, if i cant make a mountain of corpses in front of my Base?

I was up late last night watching a stream, decided to mindlessly chop wood with kelvin so this morning I could enjoy building uninterrupted. The pile was massive, large chunks of the forest gone, I assume I had 50 logs stacked if the others start despawning out in the woods. I have 5 Log storages on top of that, I wake up today and the pile is gone. The wood storage has 6 each, those logs will be used in about 10 minutes. Time for a new pile lol. I wish i knew that they would despawn before hand :D

You can put Log Collectors next to this Damm so they automaticly get collected

but yes they need to fix this ♥♥♥♥ nothing more tedious then chope one tree, go bring wood repeat. we want to chop all the trees and move all by one like old times wtf..

Maybe the true logs are the ones we cut along the way.

This was an issue with The Infected. The developer fixed it. Hopefully the developers see this and fix it for the next update.

[BEEP!]

Just put them in the ground or use the log storage if my storage is full I just put them in the ground standing up so I can find them later.
