how to use respawn?
I crafted respawn and place it on the ground, but when I died I couldnt find it, besides on regular east 1...north 1 etc...and again I lost all my stuff... I hate grinding all the time when I die...Is there any way to keep all your stuff after you die?

sleeping bag or bed ?

was it inside a house?

If you leave it outside it might have been destroyed by someone.

Respawn - Sleeping Bag or a bed?

Anyway - It should appear on the minimap when you're on the respawn screen. Sleeping Bags are one use though, beds are permanent as long as they aren't destroyed.

Keeping your stuff? Nope - Gotta run back and get your corpse within... 10 minutes or so, before it despawns.

You can store your valuable stuff at your base in containers though - Helps avoid losing your stuff due to a random ambush by a raptor or such.

Make a litte house, put a simple bed in it and you are done. You will see your home as a bed on the map, just click the bed and respawn.

it was not destroyed it was sleeping bag respawn I dont know how that works it just says you can use it as a respawn, when I died I come back on the same place where I put it and it was there but I couldnt use it....

Sleeping bags can be placed anywhere on the ground or on a foundation. Select it, click it (twice, first click lets you rotate it) and it should appear on the ground.

You use it on the map screen when you load in after dying.

so basically I cant keep my stuff ? thats the only thing that keeps me away from this game , every time I die, Im empty handed on the Island but all my skills are there, that kind doesnt make any sense, I wish we have some choice on private servers where you can turn on and off these kind things, because I want to respawn with all my stuff that I grinded for hours of playing, its kind annoying that you need to place everything inside the house boxes etc...

It doesn't make sense that your old body is where you "left it"? I'm sorry but that's just silly.

Play it safe early on and stay near the spawn zones - If you die, you can run back and pick up your stuff. Later on you'll have a permanent base (or several) to respawn from, with reserve gear to help you get anything back you lost when you died...

I don't see people complaining about losing their stuff in Minecraft - It's part of the survival experience y'know...

what to pick my stuff but how without GRINDING AGAIN cuz even if I just run to find my body again I will be attacked by raptors and bunch of other dinos, and yes I have only 10 min to do that or my body will be gone...Its just annoying....

Only one response appropriate - Learn to deal with it.

And don't venture too far off the beach until you are ready for it. I chose the hard way on my current server - Made the trip from the beaches to an inland waterfall, deep in Raptor and T-Rex territory.

By the time I had finally managed to get enough resources and engram EXP to build a bed, I had died at least twenty times, and sprinted back and forth trying to dodge hostile dinosaurs while getting my loot.

It's part of the experience - And not one I would like to see gone.

can devs make If I level Up and buy skill and when i grind to craft that skill can i have that forever? without losing it even if I die, cuz I dont want to go down while im leveling up, this just kills my mood to keep playing because im actually leveling up but that doesnt mean anything because im losing everything after i die....
Mansen Jun 25, 2015 @ 4:35am 
You never lose experience or learned engrams when you die - Just your inventory. (Unless you're playing on a Hardcore server, or picking "New survivor" instead of just respawning)

Build a house somewhere and store your items - You'll only lose whatever you're carrying around with you.

DON'T MAKE A NEW CHARACHTER AFTER DEATH, and you are fine, just respawn

so you saying I will need to grind double double time for all my items that I have with me? and plus I need to grind all same things so I can place it inside the house, and when I die I need to go back to my house pick all my items from it and then grind again same all crap so i could place it back just in case if I die AGAIN....

Grind... what?

Go back to your corpse - Pick up your weapons, tools, armour and general stuff. Where's the grind in that? Unless you're expecting to be dueling with a T-rex and crafting a whole new outfit every time you lose, there isn't a "double grinding" - or any real grinding for that matter.

You spawn on a beach - build a pickaxe in seconds, get your stuff back.
You spawn at home - make whatever you want with the stuff you store, get your stuff back.
