Tent Clarification

[Forceflare 166]

Could I get some clarification on how exactly tents / tent saving works? My friends tents seem to save correctly but mine don't. Vehicles save fine for me. What causes a tent to lose items, a server restart or the player logging out? Also, tents seem to save certain items but not others. I've lost some high end gear to these tents glitching and I'm just curious what exactly the problem is.

if you find an empty tent after server restart, check if it respawned two tents at the same location. can be difficult to see.

From what I understand, tent / vehicle inventory saving is bugged (at least in 1.7.2.5), and items in external storage are not being saved after the server restarts. Until this is confirmed / dis-proven, I wouldn't leave anything valuable inside of them for the time being

from my understanding, they have the same items they had saved after the first server restart. if it was an empty tent and the server restarted, that tent will forever have nothing in it after each server restart.

if it had a tin can, it will forever have one tin can after every server restart

is this true? I have some decent loot myself but too scared to put it in the tent in fear of destorying them with this odd volatile object called "old tent"

Even in 1.7.2.5 I have no problems with vehicles saving, it's only tents.
