Can we Put Tents into Apartment Buildings?

[Hajami]

Can i Place Tents into Houses?
And can i Place them in the 5Floor of a Apartmentbuilding for example Chernogorsk?

Myself and my brother have been unsuccessful when we've tried.

Did the Tent fall Down to the Groundfloor and than bugged to Wall? or did the game just told you that you cant pitch it there?

Just said "Cant pitch there"

[theresejesu]

it just won'tl let you pitch it inside. I hope they change that.

Wouldn't that defeat the objective of having a tent?

I mean, with persistance enabled, you could just drop stuff on the floor and it will still be there, and you'll still have a roof over your head, with the same issues as using tents, I.E. If found, it will still likely be looted.

... my camp has no tents, just 7 or 8 improv backpacks, a stone oven and a truck, weapons get tossed on the ground.

Someone may stumble across the truck but even then, there is little chance that the rest would be found ... I don't really use the truck much and will probably dump it soon anyway.

Items not containeed on you or tents/backpacks will have a clock ticking away on their life, and tents etc not interacted with will alsy have a clock ticking. When the clock runs out they despawn. items in tents/packpacks, etc will not have that despawn timer running.

This really is the most convenient way to camp in my opinion.

My plan is to have a couple of small backpack camps as well as my main base.

The small ones will just have starter supplies and will be located within easy reach of either the east coast or the south coast ... no more bambi problems, if I ever become a bambi that is.

I have had tents set up ont he roofs of apartment buildings, The spot that worked was the spot over the ladder hatch

Totaly

The whole filling tents then unfilling them is a pain, Different back packs in different locations for specific types of loot works much better

Isn't it very risky to simply put a Backpack on the ground? How long is the lifetime? I'm pretty sure it will despawn within days or even houres...

I doubt that every item that's been dropped by a player stays for several day. If that was the case, people could abuse the system by picking up and dropping every useless item to prevent it's respawn -> only actually used loot will respawn; food, ammo, medicine. Or am I missing something?

And as far as I experienced, the rooms in the appartments are too small to pitch a tent but maybe I just failed to get the perfect spot. I wouldn't place it in a room with a big window, people could spot it way to easy from the roofs.

If I'm getting it right an item respawn is triggered as soon as a player picks it up, Items that are dropped by the players are supposed to despawn after some time.

all items on the ground will disapear within hours or minutes ( at the moment even at server restarts).
But Backpacks and Tents seem to have a lifespann of 9 Days without interaction.

So yes good Tactic with the Backpacks, didnt tried it myself, makes things easier if you want to talk with others, just hide your stuff before. Iam not sure how long weapons stay.

But beware the Pinetrees may eat your Items. Keep some distance from them :)
