[v1.5.8.4] Breeding tents - Tentception

Recommended Posts

Date/Time: Since 1.5.7, unsolved in 1.5.8.4

What happened:

After having found a tent and placing it, i had an inventory wipe despite force saving (see below) and decided to reposition that tent several times before the *next* restart. The end result is i have 7 placed tents on ANZ2 - none of which are saveable OR removable. (persistent since 1.5.7 when i placed them) (and another unmovable, unsaveable one on US4).

I have called it "Tentception" and despite my best efforts it cannot be destroyed. I have tried the following

1) packing them all down

2) running them all over in a car

3) packing them all down and shooting them till the packed tent catches on fire (packing down a tent and not moving it = shoot (~30-40 rounds) to produce car type fireball)

They are all still standing.

in summary: can't be destroyed EVEN WITH FIRE

1) found tent

2) placed said tent

3) tent inventory wiped despite being force saved (control: a friend had a tent directly next to mine he'd force saved at approximately the same time, it remained persistent?)

4) decided to reposition tent and try again, packed and repacked the same tent 6 times until i was happy

5) Server was restarted sometime in my sleep, my friends tent remained in its pristine tents while i had 7 2 of the 7 tents have small amounts of recurring loot stuck in them.

6) I have since tried the aforementioned methods of destroying tentception after finding it resurrected after a restart. I have decided it is unkillable. Although i haven't died since 1.5.7.

Possible cause of the initial problems: i had several people interacting with the very first tent (before they learned how to breed) and was force saving it like mad because we were putting high value items in it. its possible i really corrupted the information there because there was too many inputs at one time.

Where you were: inside the map boundary

What you were doing: Placing and replacing a tent (single item being re-used)

*Current installed version: 1.5.8.4 (relevant since 1.5.7

*Server(s) you were on: ANZ2 (1 invincible tent migrated to US4 to assert its dominance)

*Your system specs: Irrelevant.

*Timeline of events before/after error: Irrelevant.

How can you pitch a tent on a hill, I can find the flattest ground with no trees nearby and still NOT be able to pitch it. So far I spent about 40 minutes last night trying every spot i could and havnt been able to do it.
