Find a lost vehicle

[Groovechild]

I was in my rover and got killed by a worm a long way off from my base. When I respawned, the arrow directed me to my corpse but for some reason the corpse was sent back to my base. Weird. Unfortunately, time ran out before I could get to my corpse and I lost all my gear. Whatever, but now I don't have any idea where my rover is. Doesn't show up on the map nor does it appear to have it's own beacon. Any suggestions?

I hope you find the rover before they tow it or you get loads of parking tickets

After death by worm, the body is usually left some distance from where it was eaten. In the case of being eaten while in a vehicle, every time I've seen, the body was laying close to the vehicle.

I've seen people go back considerably later and succeed in recovering their vehicle, even though the body has long since despawned.

If you can return to where you were when the worm got you, and search that area a couple of hundred meters down the line, your Rover should be sitting there somewhere.

Let us know if you find it...

"Doesn't show up on the map nor does it appear to have it's own beacon."

This would be a great feature to add, especially since we have a limited # of vehicles we need a way to either find (preffered ofc) or destroy (hey, maybe it cant be recovered even if you know where it is) lost ones.

Check your map now in the new beta! I think you will be very happy!

Heh, found the vehicle after much searching. Crafted a hover bike and roamed all over, only to find my rover in the crater...250m from my base! Doh! I was roaming around at night when I was killed and had no idea where I was when I died. Respawned at a dome I constructed about 1500m away from camp. Don't know why that happened if I was so close to base but, whatever. Got my rover back and that's cool, if not a little embarassing!

Are you playing on the beta branch?
Were you able to see the vehicle marker on your map?
