vanchrian 2 Posted August 4, 2012 What happens when I put a Pack that has stuff in it into a Tent?I know that the pack will go into the tent, but what happens to the items inside the Pack? My friend and I have just set up our own tent and I'm wondering how Packs interact with Tents. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrunchyBacon 29 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) i have tried this and unfortunately have lost the really good items that were in the pack doing this. over some time not sure how long it takes the pack becomes magically empty. At least it does this for me. Although with the latest patches it may not do that anymore. i have not tried in about a month.

BTT` 15 Posted August 4, 2012 Tents have been iffy lately. You will be lucky if the pack is in there let alone the gear inside the pack. I have heard and am trying to confirm that once you place a tent...save it empty, then after a server restart you should be good to put gear into it and save the gear. I have made it as far as the server restart. I just have not had a chance to get back to my newest tents to see if my gear is still in it. I know I have lost gear in other tents a few days ago that I didn't save empty first and wait for a restart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanchrian 2 Posted August 4, 2012 So the Pack will continue to contain the items within it for a short while? Hmmm...I'm trying to maximize space in our one and only tent. It kinda sucks that a Box of Matches takes up the same amount of space as a CZ 550. Stocking tools in the tent is overloading it really quickly so I'm trying to see if there's an alternative way to stock tools.I'll test it with a single hunting knife or something next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sostronk 334 Posted August 4, 2012 Why not get multiple tents? IIRC you can have one per server. Just server hop and have multiple tents and switch around what you need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BTT` 15 Posted August 4, 2012 Oh I agree one tent is not enough to stockpile with. I need 2 for sure. One for guns and ammo and the other for tools and food/water/meds. Once you have played the game long enough and know where to find good loot and have a desire to store extra for WHEN you die, using tents in their current state can be frustrating.

vanchrian 2 Posted August 4, 2012 Well, we HAD 2, but we lost one of them to a hacker. We don't know when we'll be able to find another one so we're stuck on the one tent for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrunchyBacon 29 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I personally have 5 tents on 4 different servers and dont know what this talk of being allowed to only have one tent per server is. and if you google "DayzMod how much can a tent hold" you will see its something like 10 weapons, 5 tools, and 50 items(ammo, food, meds) per tent. Also go to a low population supermarket and look for tents if none there then server hop until u find more tents and then take them to the server you want them on.

aru_azif 70 Posted August 4, 2012 sorry crunchy :<but tools take up the same slot as weapons so for example 5 weapons and 5 tools or 8 weapons and 2 toolssame for the 50 general slots.General beeing ammo,meds and engine parts :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danredda 10 Posted August 4, 2012 The backpack items will (usually) only remain until the next server restart. As i say this though, tents are extremely buggy and as such sometimes it doesn't save at all, dupes gear, or doesn't despawn items in backpacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
