spamaddict290 3 Posted September 18, 2012 The Wiki doesn't seem to be very consistent on how vehicles spawn and I can't find a forum thread that explains it. Can someone tell me real quick or throw me a link? It would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hutch (DayZ) 116 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) To the best of my knowledge ...They only spawn at server startup.There is a limit to the number of each type of vehicle. For example one huey per server with 8 possible locations for it to spawn.Each spawn location has a % chance for a vehicle to spawn up to the max number for each vehicle type.Player proximity is not a factor and if every vehicle on the server was destroyed, nothing would be replaced until the server was restarted.When a player finds and moves a vehicle, it's new location and inventory is saved.It will not return to it's "spawn location" again until it is destroyed. Even then it may not based on it's chance to spawn.Destroyed vehicles and any vehicles that have not been accessed in seven days are removed from the database.When the server is restarted, all existing saved vehicles are placed in their last saved location and new vehicles are spawned to replace any that were removed.
