Im on Official PVE Server 3736, I placed two Wheels of pain, a large Campfire, and a Bedroll so I could tame some thralls I needed, but I logged on this morning and the everything was gone, so the Level 3 blacksmith and Level 2 Tanner I was getting just dissapeared. Im confused because there are several wheels of pain just sitting outside in this area but only mine is gone. Could it be Admin abuse or something?
If not placed on foundations any structure will have a maximum decay time of 5 hours (standard settings) try putting your things on foundations. The more structures connected together the longer the maximum decay timer will be.
I made this mistake with my first vault, lost most of my best gear =[
Ive had similar things happen, me and several people believe that the decay timer near thrall spawns is very high so that those areas don’t get bogged down with wheels and what not, meaning you should build a decent bit away
I have a lot of things on no foundations that have not vanished then some on foundations that do. It frustrating and confusing. Then sometimes it will say you can put things on foundations because you get the “overlapping objects” message.
