Thank you. I’ve heard that your body despawn form the game after roughly a week, which I would think keeps you safe from anything until you log back on. It’s just about surviving that first week logged off.

Since you mentioned being on top of ruins, I’m guessing that logging out well fed without Shelter is safe, and you won’t starve over several days. Shelter basically freezes your hunger and thirst after all, so I thought it might be necessary for a week off the game.

But I do have to make sure I’m not in the path of the Sandstorm. That thing can cut through your if you can’t tank it with high hp. You recover to full hp with time though so if you can tank one, then you can tank the next storms.

I’ll do a quick test in the open while fully fed for 2 hours logged off to be sure.
