BTW, I'm not gonna be on much until later in the weeks, so that location on SC02 has all my stuff. Multiple car batteries, glowplug, hunters backpack, CR75 with multiple mags, fully kitted MP5, blaze with HS and ammo, all my clothes, boots with combat knife, food, medikit, etc. Everything a growing survivor needs.

I'm not having that problem now, but have had it intermittently throughout my DayZ experience. Assumed it was just some issue on my end.

If we can get a tropical storm or hurricane, maybe it will right my truck.

I'd hoped to see infected back en masse, but most other things seem to be working very well.

The DayZ gods smile on me. What could go wrong?

For no particular reason, I think I'll set up my new camp right here:

5 minutes tops. Took it out of a tent, put it on the ground, saw it, went to mess with barrels, came back...gone.

I feel your pain; and get why you think another day of playing is pointless - but isn't that always gonna be the case in EA near the end of a build/close to a stable push? The guys on stable probably feel the same. I assume they needed to wipe for some sort of internal data collection purposes; I doubt they're acting randomly. I'm pretty satisfied that a 10 truck, 4 tent, 6 barrel, 2 fireplace camp, all packed pretty full only had a single persistence issue (backpack on the ground despawning almost before my eyes). Seems to be working pretty well. Hopefully this update lets me tan leather. Looking forward to a nice long run on stable where I can build a camp like that back up and see how long I can keep it.

I'm approaching truck #11. I just ran all the way across the map to get it. Since I hadn't yet inserted my glow plug, I'm not 100% confident of a wipe, but I'm saying it's 2:5 odds. :D

I put fuel in a V3S using a PET bottle this build. Same mechanic as previously, approach passenger side tank with bottle in hand.

Good idea. I'll definitely try that. I finish at camp more than 1/2 the time, so unless they surprise me with another update or do stable before Wed, I should definitely be able to do that.

I was thinking something similar today. One reason I can pass over certain trucks is that they're out of the way. And for those rare folks who do come by, what are the odds they have a plug and a battery. It seems like the more detailed repairs required, the more this will be the case. Maybe have a few spawn in working condition? Be interesting to see how it works out. Of course, the big issue now is the static spawns - I even park mine in a certain order so that if I do take one out and wreck it, I know which spot will spawn a new truck after restart - definitely shouldn't be(and I have no doubt wont be) that easy going forward. BTW, 9 in camp and I logged off above #10. I think if they wait until Wed for any stable push, I can get at least 13. The good news is that our camp has several hundred items (4 tents, 8 trucks, 6 barrels, furnace and fireplace - most near full), and no persistence issues yet (except for a backpack that despawned within minutes/seconds of dropping it - it was there, I went to mess with the barrels, came back, it was gone).

Trees and hats don't have any value. Trucks are mobile tents - they're better than any single gun - the premium item in the game if you ask me. And, I am liking the look of them circled around my camp - in retrospect, if I had known I was gonna get this many, I'd have placed the barrels and tents differently. It's not to troll - it's just a goal - not much else to do in this stage of .58 (I guess I could keep hunting, letting fing burn my meat because he insists on using a pot, and watching my pelts disappear when I try to tan them :D ). I've crafted everything there is to craft. Seen everyplace there is to see. I even gave away a truck earlier (kinda wish I hadn't now - I might have scored all 15). And, the 2 trucks I did steal, I got away with sans violence - I could have shot the driver at dismount, but I wanted to "steal" it - not KOS. And, you can ask anyone who has played with me, especially in EXP, I'll give anything away. As far as it being easy: certainly the fixed spawns were a big help - I knew the 4 spawns at Vavilovo were on - those were my first 4. But, I've run all over the frigging map to get the rest, so I earned them. :D Had to look up ESP cheats - I don't think that's what happened to my camp - the first 2 times, it was just the barrels, packs and tents - no one touched the trucks. The third time, I think I just got busted. It was an ok, but not great spot for a camp. ETA: after seeing Tatanko's post, maybe I wouldn't need so many trucks if he wasn't hogging all the tents. :D

Found an MRDS at a crash today. Thinks someone was asking if they spawned. Also found a snap loader for the blaze which now has the correct ammo in it!!

Why do I collect trucks? Because they're there. I pass one. I think it would look nice around my campfire. I bring it home. :huh: ETA: I now have 8 at camp. I have 2 hidden in the woods. I know where 2 more spawns are (but I suspect someone else does, too, so I should prioritize those). When I'm bringing the last of those 4 home, I know where one is laying on its side - I'll knock it over. If I can get all 5, that would be 13. I'd be pretty pleased with that production.

I've got an hour right now. Gonna go see if I can grab those 2 trucks I hid. Wanted to get all 15, but that's obviously a tall order.

No one. I don't think fing drives them. I don't even drive them once I get them to camp. I'm just a collector. Although, I did have 2 on Friday near Staroye (I was trying to drive them both by running back a km, then driving forward 2 - it was a whip), so I gave one away to a guy who already had a glowplug - I just supplied him with the battery. Wish I'd kept it now. I'm always giving stuff away: my UMP; gave a guy my hicap vest this morning, gave a guy my hunting scope yesterday. I guess I can afford to be giving when I have at least one of most things (other than a plate carrier, tripod, or any tanned leather - dammit!! ) back home.

Let's not get carried away. We have 3 at most. But a soild 9 truck batteries. :D

Swam over to Prison Island today with a fresh-ish spawn I met - on SC02. Almost nothing there; seems like the loot spawns remain very nerfed there. A few axes, some food, a child's backpack in the civvy barracks; almost nothing in the Prison itself.

Truck hoarders? Those guys are the worst! And I know where 2 more are! I stole them from guys who thought simply removing the glowplug was enough. Have them stashed, but way across the map from fing's and my camp; if I have time later today, I'm gonna go get them.

US SC 02 did. I had a truck with only 5 wheels. Logged off to make coffee. Came back at about 7:05 am US Central time; truck had six wheels.

There's already an open ticket. I added a note and upvoted. Wish I hadn't put all 3 deer pelts in it. :D

Well, closed the lid this time. And like others have reported, everything vanished - lime and pelts. I made a nice empty barrel.

It looks like you definitely need a barrel now. I wonder if the problem was that I didn't close the lid. Thought I did, but could be wrong. When I get back to camp, I'm gonna check it.

I tried that. Put lime and a pelt in a barrel and tried to move them over each other. Or do I just close the barrel and wait. Hmm.
