Vehicles

[RafaZombie 1]

Hello!

Well i'm new at the game and forum, and i have some doubts about vehicles...

lets start!

first, i'm sorry if someone already posted the same, i tryed to use the search but no topics poped out with those doubts....

well...i found 2 vehicles with my friends, an atv and a bus, we found a place very far from any city, almost in the wilderness and we left our vehicles there after saving then.

when i logged today they are gone...

my doubt is: when the server restarts all the vehicles just disappear or someone just stole it from us?!

how often the vehicles respawn?! everyday? every week?

do all servers have vehicles or the admins have the choice to put then in or out of the server when they are creating a new game?

thanks for the patience and plz answer that, because if the vehicles just disappear when the servers restarts i don't see why i just keep searching then, since they are very hard to find, was the first vehicles i got since i started playing, over 2 weeks or 3 ago!

thanks again !!!

cya!

Sometimes they disappear because of a glitch and they could come back when the server restarts or when you log back in, or they may be gone forever due to a bug - such is life in a game still in development.

There's also a chance that someone found your vehicles and made off with them.

Vehicles only respawn when left unused for a week, or if they are destroyed.

Sometimes servers can restart to an earlier point and so vehicles are rolled back to a different point on the map, however, vehicles get stolen A LOT even when far away from any city; many people take time to search forests (particularly in the north) for camps and vehicles.

A standard server restart should not, however, remove your vehicles, although it can remove them until the next server restart occasionally.

Take note that any hacked vehicles also dissapear on a server restart. So if you happen to find a vbehicle that someone else hacked it'll dissapear on the next restart.
