How do I FIND my body once I die/respawn?

[Threemoons]

Okay, I have to say I am NOT loving the whole "lose all your stuff when you die" dynamic. Feels like a huge waste of time.

Having said that, is there any plan to implement a map marker so that you can FIND your body at least? We're all in the process of exploring the map; finding the same place twice it tough.

Finally, will our respawn points from bedrolls show on the map?

Nope, have to memorize where you were and hope you dont die trying to get back there. Until workshop is open and a body marker mod comes out, I'm just disabling losing my stuff on death in server settings (I only play solo).

The losing your stuff doesn't bother me so much...it's losing my stuff because I died from starvation or thirst...spent three hours and found no source of water beyond the waterskin they give you in the beginning.

At that point I just exited the game...I did retrieve my body a few times, just hated dying over and over to lack of sustenance.

If you listen to what the giant pictograph tells you and "follow the road" you'll end up at a river/oasis about 200 yards from where you spawn <.<

Voices? The only voice I heard was reading a letter. Just once. And that was it, and I didn't catch anything about the road.

I wasn't complaining really. Just saying it's annoying.

There is a giant rock at the beginning with some symbols on it. aproach it. Also, follow the road, it leads straight to a river.

As for your body, my buddy found his but it didn't have his stuff on it. The despawn time seems to be pretty quick. One time he was there when i died and he was able to snag my stuff. Not sure how it works. I'm sure they'll work on it. Although if you're not a fan of losing stuff when you die, uh, this might not be the right time to play this game. I'm assuming there is going to be a lot of "i lost everythign with that patch!!!!!" rage going on.

The only reason I knew about the pictograph is watching a video otherwise its much to easy to skip over as its jsut a structure like everything else. But once you know you can find others. I just fuond a second one before.

The problem is that player corpses poof in about 1 min if there's no one around and that just need fixing. There's a number of workarounds. One is a mod that increases to 5 min (Corpse delay fix). That's a bit of help but not if you die far from your bed. Another is to make temp bedding as you go along and maybe even place chests with spare weaps nearby so can get to your to your corpse fast. Last, if you have your own server and just don't want deal with all the bs add this line to ServerSettings.ini -- DropEquipmentOnDeath= False -- when you die you will respawn with all your items.

You pull up a thread from a year ago? There is a timer on how long your corpse stays in game and it sure the ♥♥♥♥ is not one min. I can run from the starter area all the way to the snow covered nountains north and back down to the starter area and still get my body at the starter spawn point.
