Vehicle gone

[Bitch Pudding]

I didnt play for three days. Is it a game setting or server setting that makes your car disappear?

[Buzzfeed]

I've read that it's a standard setting that'll happen. If a vehicle isn't used in 48-72 hours it'll respawn somewhere else, there is a max amount of vehicles allowed on a server so it allows people who are playing to find vehicles rather than have people who don't play often collect them.

Similar experience to the ArmA 3 Epoch mod, where vehicles also disappear and respawn after longer periods of inactivity. I think this is pretty much essential if you don't want all the vehicles to end up in abandoned player forts sooner or later.

Thanks, I took 3 days off, guess I need to log in every day. It took me two weeks to find that one vehicle, hopefully this next time will be less.

lol, I had some despawn within 48 hours,,,, really. It must have been approx 30 hours only!

I was like: "Now that's some BS!"

I think the "global interval timer" (or whatever "timer thingy") is bugged... somehow it does not keep time properly.
- Sometimes crafting will cut out and cancel itself, sometimes dropped items will disappear within just a few seconds! ...it's all a bit messed up still

I play on a low populated server so vehicles are fairly common which is nice but my friend and I still hop on daily to make sure we can hang on to the one we've got. It sounds like the best way to sure they don't despawn is to not only just hop in the car but drive it for a minute as well which we've been doing with no problems yet.

In regards to the dropped items I've had mixed issues, there have been times where I've dropped an item and it's there a long time later to pick up and other times where it either despawns shortly after or more commonly falls through the ground. A couple big guys we've killed despawn seconds after too and same with our own bodies which makes looting impossible in those situations.

same here to seconds if that

that's how the game is. people tend to hoard so much. we need to make those vehicule available sometimes if you dont use it

[=ThinkGreen=]

yes the vehicles despawns after 2 days without interacting with it.
We cant change that in servers settings, unfortunatly.

Have fun, keep enjoying Miscreated

Im ok with it. I'll just roam the outlands to find another. =)

Oh, how dare they to gather things in the post apo survival game!!!

I just lost two cars somehow, restarted the engine at least once a day and still gone. Walls intact, no needed to repair so they were not blown by players. Could it be the tornado? Seen those twice roaming around my base lately.

Just curious, why do you need two cars?

[Wuffe]

Pretty often this legendary AK guy manages to blow up my sedan while transporting metal base parts, so I think it's wise to have two in case.

Interesting. I have never had a base far enough away from a barn or warehouse to need a vehicle. I think vehicles make you a sitting duck. Only reason I use them are for the renforced metal walls to tow. Other than that, I hump it, quietly. Any time I see a car or motorcycle, the driver dies.
