shelters/buried items. How long do they last?

Recommended Posts

Last update I've been able to find was for 2020. Can anyone confirm how long shelters/buried items (dry bag, wooden box) will stay on the server? I have read it was 30 days, or 1 week without interacting with the item? Do you have to be on a specific server to have your items remain (until server wipe)? 

thanks and happy hunting.

I just checked the types.xml of my server and these are the standard lifetimes, considering your server has not modified them: leather shelter 604800 seconds = 7 days (without flag pole), buried items (found as UndergroundStash in types.xml) 1209600 seconds = 14 days

 

Edit: From what I know, the timer can be reset for buried items by just re-burying them again, "interacting" with the leather shelter doesn't count though by just moving items. You'd need to redeploy it again or it will just disappear.

This is a lie, as of recent updates you don't have to redeploy anything, just interact.. I've had the same improv shelters up for a month and never once redeployed it and they stayed, and it's on official... So...
