Vehicles are still good. As far as I know, only certain tents and vehicles can store items across a reset. Before you toss all your goodies in a tent next time, put a can of beans in it and save it. Wait for the server to reset and if the beans are still there when you reconnect, go ahead and toss all your stuff in it.

stuff in my atv is still there though. are vehicles listed as bugged? any other way of storing my things?

If it was just zombies it would be too easy, I certainly agree with you that playing with friends is fun but what is the point if there is little to no challenge? If you hoard all of the vehicles what happens next? There is no competition for anything so ultimately there is very little need to keep anything anyway. It sounds like the equivalent of killing the ender-dragon in Minecraft on creative mode. If this is how you want to play, good for you but please be aware that running a private server is against Day Z's terms and you are assisting the player-base that wants to take advantage of this mod and its mechanics for their own, selfish needs. Good luck to you kind sir.

Wondering the same thing, as all tents/vehicles are saved on the Hive and inaccessible to server admins.

I personally find the current number of repairable vehicles fitting because if you look around there's a good 100:1 ratio going on for destroyed vs fixable that being very realistic for a post apoc survival setting then you add in the need for fuel. Currently on my server if you count the total of vehicles the server does have 50 vehicles 8 of them being bicycles that's being based on the active vehicle codes during peak hours

I've been up all night dealing with exploits and parsing these obtuse goddamn logs trying to find the people messing with our server. After multiple mass teleports, vehicle teleports, illegally spawned vehicles (I've identified at least three illegitimate helicopter spawns today), and god knows what else.....when my clan mates reported that their player models suddenly started dancing...with absolutely no input from them at all, and they had zero key control of their characters...after logging in and confirming it with my own eyes, I shut down the server and I'm seriously considering just leaving it down. So...anyways we're certainly not "hiding our camps" cause every motherfucker with ESP has gang raped our camps for a week now. I'm just taking the server down cause I want to GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP. So have a nice day and play somewhere else.

It may be that someone has commondere all of the vehicles and taken them off the map.

sounds right to me only thing rocket can do is black list them from the hive but who gives a shit anyway. I think servers should have there own hive anyway it will prevent asshole server hoppers and ghosters allow admins to better police there own servers. fuck this persistent world bullshit the only thing thats persistent about it is the players location and gear. people cant take vehicles with them or tents its stupid if you find a vehicle on a server or set up a base thats there server your gonna play on your not gonna play on another server.

Hi, vehicles dont spawn on our server. I was on allmost all spawn points of all vehicles and nothing but when i go to another server there is allways some vehicle. We tried to restart server, hard restart server and nothing. Still never vehicle. So really where is the problem ? I dont have any idea. Thanks for your help. //Sorry for my english

So, I found a small tent city out in the outskirts and one of them was pretty loaded. AS50, NVGs, Rangefinder, Ghillie suit and a M4A1 Holo SD. No GPS, Entrenching Tool, or any vehicles so I can't say for sure if it was a hacker. I've never seen a M4A1 Holo SD (also has a M203 launcher) and they don't seem to have a page on either dayzdb.com or dayzwiki.com. If these are both unofficial sources, how am I supposed to know if this gun is legit? Can I keep it either way?

Rocket mentioned he would like the ability for player owned bases, or the player to build a base or hideout (or something similar) and this got me thinking. What if you could construct a small fortification of sorts, a little place to call home, with a form of access control. Or even get a cave, small building in a city with a gate? I was thinking how this could work is, you could have access control cards (equipment / inventory slots) that grants access to your little hideout. These cards could be made / spawned by a device you can place somehwere on the inside to hand out to team mates or friends. Think of something like an ammobox you use to re arm, but instead you get one keycard, and you can only carry 1 keycard for each unique hideout or base. Then when looting other players, you could pick up their cards or keys to gain access to their bases /buildings, so it becomes vital to keep these cards or keys safe, and becomes a high value item to get from other players. Could add an interesting dynamic to the game if it can be implemented correctly. They could limit the storage space inside your area so you don't go around hoarding all the vehicles and weapons to keep it under lock and key, like have a vehicle shed that has a maximum of 2 jeep slots or 1 truck / bus, and for instance 2 bikes / bicycles with that. Your base and clothing could also be branded with something a team insignia of sorts as a form of identification.

Hi all, My clan has recently purchased a server and we have discovered that we are not the first people to own the server. Within a few hours we had found many tent bases and buildings covered in barbed wire etc. The one thing we haven't found yet is vehicles. We have been checking the spawn locations almost hourly and restarting the server daily but there is nothing. We have also made sure that all versions are up to date etc in an effort to get the spawns starting. We believe that as the server is pre-owned they are stored in some off map base we can't find. So I guess my question is, do the vehicles de-spawn after a certain period of inactivity and re-spawn in the original locations? Thanks Marvels

When a server restarts and loads sometimes vehicles spawn in slightly in the air. This can cause cars etc to roll down hills. ATV sometimes bounce around because their physics appears to be that of black magic.

So i checked - https://dayzmonitor.com/server_info/5239.html&hide_restarts And the server was restarted 3 hours ago, i've heard of tents/vehicles disapearing after restarts is this the case? So i logged on today, around 11 and our 2 tents and atv were gone, i ran to our old empty tents in the middle of nowhere and they are gone too. So either someone has stolen everything and ran over empty old tents or the server restart has screwed the tents up?

I've added a tl;dr at the bottom, just for you lazy ones. I know I tend to ramble sometimes, so I figured it might be necessary. For various reasons I would rather not discuss here, my current group isn't working out too well. So now I'm looking to either find a group with a similar playstyle and similar ideals to my own, or to start one up myself with some like minded individuals. Before I go any further though, I feel I should mention that I'm looking to play legit. I hate the fact that I have to mention this but it's become obvious that it's necessary to (hopefully) ensure that I play with a decent group. This means that if you relog for ammo constantly, dupe purposefully, abuse indestructible tents filled with unlimited supplies, combat log etc. etc. then I probably do not want to play with you. Now that that's out of the way... I'm a close quarters guy myself. I prefer to be right up in the front lines where all the action is. While this doesn't mean I'm opposed to serving a sniper or spotters role, which I am quite proficient at, it's just not my preferred role. If those roles are filled, I'd be much happier in the front lines with an assault rifle or an LMG. I prefer to only carry one primary weapon when I can get away with it so I have room for supplies to keep the group going, but am more than willing to sacrifice room when it becomes necessary to fill multiple roles or hold onto someones weapon, or if I just have two weapons that I really really want to keep, which is pretty rare. I prefer to play somewhat of a medic role, blood bagging, bandaging, applying epi's and all that good stuff whenever possible. I find it enjoyable and quite honestly, I just have fun raising my humanity and getting rid of that pesky little heartbeat. I'm not opposed to acts of banditry or the KoS mentality for the group, but for me personally I prefer to at least gauge a persons intentions before gunning them down. Unless they pose an immediate threat or we're in a PvP hot spot like Stary or NWAF, I see little reason to cut down every Mr. Winchester we run across who clearly poses no threat. That being said, I love a good firefight and will never shy away from a good fight, even if it gets me killed. I just love the adrenaline rush you get from a firefight. Basically, I have my own way of playing but I'll play whatever way the group decides, so long as it's not mindless server hopping for kills in cherno/elektro etc. I don't like hoarding tons of vehicles or equipment either. While I have absolutely no problem setting up a sizeable camp, or even several on several different servers to keep ourselves geared up should things go wrong, I hate letting vehicles and equipment go to waste. There's no point in having an AS50 or an L85 if it's just going to sit in a tent all day. Same with vehicles, what's the point of that UAZ if we never use it, if we just let it sit in the forest and rot? My play times are very flexible and can be adjusted to meet the needs of the group. If everyone is on in the afternoon I can do that, morning, midnight, whatever. I can change it up to fit any time. I suppose I've rambled on enough, so I'll end this here. I'll add more if I think of anything else. If you have any questions for me, let me know. So, to recap, or for you lazy ones... tl;dr I play legit and expect the same of whatever group I'm in, whether it's my own or someone else's. I prefer to be on the front lines, but am proficient as a sniper and/or spotter. I like to play a medic role when possible. I prefer to carry a single primary as to make room for group supplies but this is always subject to change depending on circumstances. I love firefights, I have no problems KoSing, but I would like some judgement to be exercised when possible, but I'm not too picky on this one, so long as we're having fun. I don't like to hoard, why have something if you never use it. My play time can be adjusted to meet whatever needs, I have a very flexible schedule. I only want to play with experienced players. I'm fine with teaching people how to play and all, but if you have no will to learn, are needlessly reckless, etc. then I do not want to play with you. If you're interesting in either adding me as a member of a currently existing group, or you just share some of my ideals and want to start one up with me, feel free to respond here as well as add me on Steam. Steam ID: Sephka EDIT: I also feel I should mention that while I'm looking for a group, I'm most likely not going to join a clan. Depending on how it operates and the number of people I may make an exception, but I'd prefer to play with the same people consistently. Most clans I feel do not offer this, so unless you can promise me otherwise, I likely will not join.

You would have hated UK8 yesterday. Started off sitting in a tree hearing lots of shooting in the school/supermarket area. I scoped it out waiting to see who it was. Suddenly two Ghillie'd bandits walk infront of me also waiting for him to pop out. I think I scored 18 murders that day, majority of them defending my vehicles stashed near Dobry ;)

I'd prefer a DLC-Mod thing rather than a stand alone. From a standalone perspective you could keep databases seperated, so if BIS decides to play with the weapons damage like last time it doesn't affect DayZ. From the DLC-Mod perspective you can still play vanilla and other mods with the same game you bought from the shelf. Making libmod a standalone was a bad idea imo...i would have bought it as a DLC, what kept me from buying the standalone was the lack of gear/vehicles that were in WW2 which made it look like a pre beta mod rather than a standalone and of course the bugs...

Thanks for the answers :) Alucardi: Our Vehicles have been missing forever,no restart fixed it! eStecko: Thank you,we will have to try this one out :)

Vehicles stay on the server they are found on.

Vehicled disappear when they are not saved ~5minutes before server restart. Another reason might be the vehicles are hacked and they will be gone after restart. Also previously there was a bug which made tents disappear after first restart, but they we're back in another, our camp looks quite messy now. Besides that, the server might not be running latest fix for vehicle save. (just a guess as i seen topic with similiar name)

,Hey there DayZ Community ;) Don't get me wrong,this thread isn't made to flame rocket,I really appreciate what he's doing,but I have to make this thread to see if I am really the only one who thinks like that...(Sorry for my english,I am german. ;D) Me and our clan have been playing DayZ since a very long time...but now my whole clan is very upset because of,as the title says,disappearing vehicles after server restarts. We tried it on so many servers and we never got ONE server where cars stay after restart... "No problem,I mean if rocket fixes it in the next patch!" My whole clan thought. But no...WOOF WOOF. I know the whole patchnotes aren't out yet,but this (in my opinion most annoying) bug is known a LONG time,and still no fix.....What do you guys think? Greetings,Deadtimee.

So by now a lot of clans/groups have hoarded up their vehicles on servers and such. We have no vehicles currently, and are looking for at least one. Is there any way to tell how long a server has been up for? [As in, how long it has been since it was first on the server list?]

Yeah satchel charges do spawn but are very rare so if there were loads of them then they could have been duped. Also the guy with the as50 could have been leaving the camp coming or back to the camp and then heard the vehicles and followed the noise, the ural is very loud.

Yes, that was caused by a crashed huey, it's a bug that can also be caused by other crashed vehicles, like my UAZ. Again, a crashed heli is not actually supposed to set the whole horizon on fire. IT'S A BUG!.

Doomsday is a great film, and this would be a brilliant addition to the game. SOMETHING needs to be done to keep vehicles inside the map! Id suggest if helis try and fly over the wall, give them a 30-60 second warning that if they dont turn back theyll be shot down by AA guns on the wall, just to give some leeway to people who accidentally stray over the boarder.
