When do tents despawn?

[X41823T]

Some say it's after 45 days, others say it's 7.
Some say you only have to interact with the tent in order to reset the despawn timer and others say you gotta pack the whole thing up and place it in a different spot.
So which one is it? (I play on official DayZ non-experimental only)

45 days with interaction, just move some items in the tent will do

So with interaction it only stays for 45 days? Or the 45 day timer is reset with every interaction?

The timer resets with every interaction.

Is there a list with the despawn timer of the items?
Or where you know that

45 days too im afraid, taking netting off and back on or even adding nails etc does the job

If you navigate to one of the following folders on your system....

\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZ\Missions\dayzOffline.ChernarusPlus\db

\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\mpmissions\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\db

.. then look at the types.xml file. The value you are looking for is" <lifetime> </lifetime> " and it is set in seconds.

For example, If you search the types.xml file for "MediumTent" you'll find this...

<type name="MediumTent">
<nominal>30</nominal>
<lifetime>3888000</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<min>20</min>
<quantmin>-1</quantmin>
<quantmax>-1</quantmax>
<cost>100</cost>
