I have a tent.........and its gone.

Over the course of a couple days me and a couple friends found 4 tents, so we started to set up a nice base camp. After about two days with he camp set up the server ate my tents. OK that's just day z. My question is do tents only spawn so many per server , are they like the vehicles and only spawn accordingly to the number of slots on the server ? I ask because i had a huge run of finding tents everywhere now I cant find a single one or im just having bad luck coming across one.

The pitched tents should loot after a server restart. If the tent owner dies you have to make sure they are used every few days to stop them despawning. Unpacked tents have a fixed spawn rate in residential spots and are a rare find. Somone has probably just beaten you to finding them. Try looking on night servers where it's less likely someone has recently looted supermarkets/ high yield houses

If you cant find a tent that is probably because its a rare drop. I have played many long lives where I never found one. There is no limit to how many tents can be placed on a server. I do not use them as they are unreliable and unnecessary.

Yea that's what i assumed . But figured I'd ask around here to see if anyone knows. Tents are weird sometimes they work awesome and other times they butt fuck you.
