This Is Why Tents Reset

[butter_milch 66]

This is my way of dealing with tents. So far it has worked.

The problem:

- you place a tent

- you place items in the tent

- you come back some time later and the tent is empty

I've experienced this bug several times now and I think I know why tents reset.

When setting up a tent the game will not necessarily place it at an even angle and it tends to clip with its surroundings. I've placed tents on hillsides after which they were standing an angle of over 45° and after the first server restart they were standing at ~0° and had been moved. And this is most like why their content is gone, too.

Either way I never use a tent right after I set it up but rather wait for the first server restart. After that + a manual save I've never experienced tent resets.

A possible fix would probably be to force the game not to mess with a tent's location and to simply leave it the way it was placed but that's for a dev to look into because I wouldn't know how one would go about that ;)

The reason the tents are broken is because the database that stores the information wasn't set up do deal with anything over 1 million. So as soon as the total number of tents passed that it broke. It's being fixed in the next patch, maybe today if we're lucky.
