Disappearing vehicles

[Antiheld]

Is it normal for vehicles with a lock to disappear in the player base?
Or do you have to do something special to prevent them from disappearing?

Vehicle locks are only to prevent other players from stealing them. If unused in a safe zone or abandoned outside of your base for more than 30 minutes they will despawn.

To save/upkeep a vehicle in or near a base, you need to craft and put down a mechanic's workbench, then fill it with oil and spark plugs to maintain it from decaying; the workbench will detect one or more vehicles and specify the amount of time the vehicle(s) can be maintained based on the amount of resources stored in the workbench.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of oil an spark plugs GEWD LUCK pal this system is a fail fail fail, its set the same use rate as planks or sticks that means you will need about 16 oil an plugs per day, so make macine oil & spark plugs your number one all day priority, except thirst which is even worse.

ok so its all new, so were tellin u WHOA wtf first of all why is those things needed for maintaining a bike?. and they aint nearly enough out there, not even max loot servers i can tell u that for a fact, so make friends with the admin, an beg for water, spark plugs & oil, + the scrap metal debacle for leveling. talk about ridiculous, or just dont play the game cos currently, in this edition... its a grind too far for too little.
honestly they have never grasped the concept of reward equal to effort.

Wrong. It is a lot, especially if you only have time to play for a few hours every week.

Wait till you get a boat then we will talk again. That five spark plugs make me sweat every time. But I get them as the boat is amazing for quick runs. I just cant drive the bikes

It really isn't, you're just not going to the right POIs or do you think you should be able to keep a vehicle in your base for 5 days without putting in the work?

Just go to gas stations and industrial / construction areas. Easy peasy.

No. It actually and factually is.

You're still wrong and saying it over and over won't change that fact.

It is a massive headache for people that don't play a lot and it's also a stupid game mechanic.

Players should be able to keep a vehicle sitting in their base for short periods of time, such as 5 days, without any upkeep costs, just like the bases shouldn't require constant upkeep costs so they don't decay. It's a bad system. They should make the bases more expensive to build, not have draconic upkeep costs that make no sense at all.

Driving the vehicle is what should cause it to need maintenance. It should need the occasional oil change, or replacement part, or repair of some kind from use, not from sitting in one place for a few days.

Repeatedly going to the same areas to grind upkeep materials. Yeah, that's super fun gameplay...

award. ^ absolutely correct. well stated.
and for bikes like 6 plugs an oil a day wtf. they rushed its not thought out at all, thats why.
a trickle charger would be about all it needs to sit.
they just dont want people keeping vehicles, base is not so bad, but theres a limited number of vehicles for the server, an if that many people come thru there an lock em up easy well thereyago- an u know people uve played other games, will always go around hoarding vehicles, clans lov to do this did it already with boats so Ill suffer searching for the oil n plugs everyday cos thats about all enough of them I can find an its quite a daunting task theyre not all that many around an depending on pop of server etc...

A word of advice, don't keep stuff in your vehicle while you are out exploring if you don' t have a lock on it. I learned my lesson.

You guys think that's bad 6 OIL and 2 Plugs for 24 hrs... try putting a LADA (jeep) in side your base.. it takes 6 Tool Kits for 24 hrs coverage ... with 50 + hours in game, I have still to see my FIRST Tool Kit (it's a Red box, I know that) Traders don't have them for sale, so like the Oil and Sparkplugs they have to be found in the open world.
