my body/grave thingy disapeared after i died

[MJaaay]

i died on the side of a mountain cliff and when i was going to recover it i died a second time and then it disapeared.
i lost all my ♥♥♥♥, is this a bug or a feature?
its kinda frustrating im not looking to play anymore after losing all the stuff that took hours for me to craft

It's very likely that your marker just disappeared and your stuff was still hanging out where you died. If you go back to the place you originally died, you're likely to still find it there.

your stuff is still at your original (first) death location

i did go there the thing that i think happened is that the grave despawned because it was on a side of a cliff, therefore it was not able to "stand on anything".
or some ♥♥♥♥ i dunno.

if it's on server then desync could despawn gravestone
On singleplayer I have never had dissapearing gravestones

no matter if I died in air, ocean or mountains, they were waiting for me o-o

some slopes can make them slide a little bit.. but its probably still around.

if you die far from home, I always make a mark on the map so if a death mosquito gets me on the way back I have a chance to get to the loot i want.

I had the same effect just yesterday...was crossing a landlocked lake...to only be killed by a Serpent just as I was approaching the shore...on my corpse run to retrieve my Inventory...got ganked by a Greydwarf Brute in my workhut. Immediately the marker in the water vanished and was only left with the one at the workhut.

Are you saying if I head out to my watery grave, I'll find my backpack floating in the water?? That would be swell, it really wasn't far off shore. Will it have the 'sparkles' a normal piece of dropped loot has as an indicator??

NO IT should still be there had a friend die several times and got all death stones so you must have grabbed it or its still sitting where you died with it

If you died in the middle of the water and know the general location of your death, you shouldnt have too much trouble finding it as graves produce a lot of light and can be spotted from a good disance

I have at least twice had a grave despawn on multiplayer servers

[MJaaay]

nvm i found it thanks for the words of encouragement people :D

I can confer, found my floating water buoy death marker when I went out on another raft...I could literally see it from shore, was so close before the Serpent attack. The megaMap marker updated to my most recent death...the water one was the only one I haven't gotten back to, but I did this morning; another janky raft and a quick jaunt offshore and I got it all back, thanks Devs!!

Get in the habit of marking your map with our own marker where you died in case it disappears or you die again which will cause the death marker to move to your most recent death location.

+1 THIS is the answer to this post... when you die, mark the location on the map... the end

Only marker disappears and new one is set. Your stuff is still there, just search better.
