Noob Questions: Tents!

[KevinCa714 0]

Hi, I recently start playing this game about a week ago, and well, i'm very confused on how tents actually work. I usually play in this low populated server where it's fairly easy to survive and find loot, however, for the love of god, I can't figure out if my tents are glitchy or if it's just normal gameplay. I tend to hide my tents fairly well, but when I try to find them after a logout, I always find them empty (after a hard day of looting) and with another tent right next to it or on top of it; I'm not sure if someone is mocking me on my tent-hiding-skills or if it's some glitch. This has happened to me about three times... is this normal? Thanks for the help!

You have to save the tent like 200 times.

Hey, I forgot to mention that I do "save it" everytime I'm done leaving my loot.... but I'll try that next time I log in. Thanks! haha.

Did you save it "like 200 times" (3)?

It was me, i took the loot and put my own tent on top!

But it could also just be server restarts mucking with the tents too.

server restart, the second tent can be the result of a previous attempt to pitch the tent..but never happened to me..i mean, i can log in and find 3-4 more tents, but the good one stays still and ok..

you need to pitich the tent, save it & then wait for a server restart before it becomes "safe" enough to store items in..
