Gliders that despawn..
So I found hang gliders while running away from the cannibals. Kept it in my base for future use. Problem is, when entering caves it despawns from the last location I left it and doesnt respawn where I first found it. I know there are multiple gliders but there's no fun looking for it knowing I'll lose it for good. Someone might suggest console commands but it feels like cheating and leaves bad aftertaste.

Anyone got fix for this?

I am slowly running out of gliders, as I find them at the various locations, only for them to despawn eventually. I go back to where they originally spawned and they haven't respawned.

I wonder if they are falling through the landscape like the logs, and like I have on one occasion, which is why I know for sure the logs fall through as I saw them down there. Now when I hear the splashing I know what is going on. Stuff is falling through.

It doesn't seem to happen as much to my co-op partner although I have put in way more hours and I am the host. Almost 300 days into it.

I'm also making a base over water too and occasionally hear water splash when dropping a log in a pile of logs. I checked under if there's any that passed through my platform and found none. I also happen to drop a single 1/2 chopped log and made sound but didn't go through the platform so i shrugged it off.

However, when I'm cutting trees with chainsaw and just dropping them in a small area. Somehow I feel like its fewer than what I cut once I get back and relocate to pile them neatly.

Not sure if there's a limit of logs that I can throw down unattended or it's just my imagination.

The latest version of this editor has a tool to teleport to or clone Gliders and Knight Vs at the players location.

I guess my past efforts went down the drain. I cut 30+ trees on average before transporting and piling them in storage.

What I dont know wont hurt till now but thanks to that info. Lesson learned.

tried going inside cave and save-load from there? I havent touched KnightVs yet since I see people trip alot using it. Also not much application in my mind as I can outrun almost everything except for caterpillar and Mrs Puffton.

They are good for a long trip, where you can travel along the beach, or along paths. Also fun to get out a katana and attack a group on a beach.

I took a cable car from my camp to the hang glider spawn site. As it seemed to me, he spawns periodically. Not every game day, but sometimes. We need more time to observe.

Both things despawn after you (for example) go into cave and back, but difference is gliders despawn for good from its original location while knight's 5 are still obtainable. It's really annoying especially for gliders, this should be fixed asap.

The clown unicycle spawns like crazy. I don't know if my game is broken but each camp it spawns in I seem to get 3-4 of them stacked in the same spot.

Gliders seem to respawn in the same spot I took it from. I once just moved a glider a few meters away and next time I logged on I had two of them.

That kinda explains it. I Went into the cave by the beach crash site.
