So if user made structures are only in one server, what happens if that server crashes or is shut down?

Server crashes: Objects stay due to persistence.

 

Shut down: 

 

This is a subject many people don't understand as how user made objects are saved onto the server. From an Arma 2 standpoint, the server uses a file from the hosting PC that basically depicts what is in the actual map. It contains buildings, loot, vehicles...basically everything that makes a map. That file is constantly changing. Whenever someone builds, say, a cinderblock wall in DayZ Epoch, it gets saved into that file. So, back to the main point, if the server shuts down, the host will still have that file and everything that was placed or built onto the map will still technically be there.

How many excuses a dev should have before he pushes to a new branch? Wait for next week Wait for next week Wait for next week...

How many weeks are there in a year? How much work do you do in a week?

You are right I'm taking more attention for ARMA3's new DLC because they are more creditable.
