i have been in server restarts 8 times and i find it unfair the way people lose everything they have and all cars are reset this has to be fixed p.s the car saving system is lousy

you should probably find a new server....one that announces server restarts 20min ahead which all of the ones i play on do. also you should know the dev team recommands server restarts hourly, not sure if you have played on a server that hasnt restarted for a day but its laggy as shit.

Ours announces restarts from 30mins 15,10,5,1. So there are servers that do it.

Your things will save but you have to log out or all exit the vehicle before restart :( I find 4 hour restarts are good balance.

If you're losing everything you have on server restart, you might not want to frequent that server anymore as it will more than likely be a private hive!

Server resets (on servers attached to the main hive) simply replace loot & put vehicles where they are supposed to be if they are unusable/haven't been used for a long time, they do not reset every vehicle or any player's characters.
