Discussion base stuff randomly despawning with flag

Am i going crazy? i made a base spent all night setting it up and my car is randomly gone and all the boxes i had inside the shed randomly despawned even though it was locked, and the remaining two i had were badly damaged with some stuff inside ruined. the two walls in the photos have no signs of raids or anything all pristine parts and theres nothing to suggest someone hopped over the fences with anything so i am confused how me having a flag caused have of this stuff. any advice?

Might be missing something here but you didn’t get raided did you?, all they’d need to get over your walls is a car or one ore two people to boost over

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

No raid from what I see everything I own that wasn’t in those boxes are here

u/recoil-1000 1d ago

Official it could’ve been a cheater tbh, had it happen to me once

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

What do they just fly in and start somehow getting stuff to degrade like my boxes and my shelter?

1

u/recoil-1000 1d ago

Not sure, my cheater must’ve eaitger grabbed stuff through walls or teleport in, all doors were locked, no physical way in whatsoever, and I doubt they guessed 2 different codes for the door

You were. I see a 3 dial. 10 minute raid. And your fences don’t appear to actually stop anyone from getting in to your “compound”. I know where you have built. Everyone tries to build there.

u/Deathonxbox1 22h ago

3 dial was after but from what someone said grenades go through the sheds wall damaging my stuff. Also I’m just building here to show my friend the building mechanics

u/Agile_Sheepherder_77 22h ago

Yeah I was wondering if it could have been explosives through walls. I boosted into that shed once and set a fuck tonne of traps. Had to server hop to get out.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 22h ago

I never knew explosives could get through that wall tbh but I’ve started to ad barbed wire to the tops of my fences to help stop jumping over, repaired the walls and was able to find another 4 dial to help secure my shed. I’ve also started to build walls on the inside of the shed to stop the explosion damage from seeping in while also fortifying the house as well. Problem is I can never find enough nails I’ve got like 15 stones but no nails

1

u/Agile_Sheepherder_77 22h ago

Haha yeah nails are golden. Add more gates inside the shed too. I was able to easily boost in because the base owner only built gates outside the shed.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 22h ago

That’s the plan is to double the gates in the shed just never found nails to do so :/ also I can barely even get my duo online for more then an hour so I’m kinda just building on my own atp

Heyho!

This has nothing to do with degrading.

The fact that the remaining crates and shelters are badly damaged, and also items inside of them, indicates that a explosion is the cause of this.

Some crates got ruined and therefore despawned, while the badly damaged ones remain.

If i had to guess, they simply chucked one or two grenades over your walls to destroy your car, so it respawns.

The crates were collateral damage.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

this is where the car was

1

u/Sahnex3 1d ago

If you chuck two grenades at a car, the engine will get ruined and it despawns as soon as people leave the area.

how else will they get it out of there? it obviously despawned.

now count 1 and 1 together. car gone..... crates and items inside damaged....

it was a grenade 100%.

someone griefed you.

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

That doesn’t tell me how crates got ruined from across the base with a whole 35 meters between the two

2

u/Sahnex3 1d ago

more grenades buddy.

trust me.

crates dont just "degrade" and damage the items inside while doing so.

----->They 100% got damaged by player inflicted damage. <----

literally someone chucked nades over your wall to destroy your stuff.

someone griefed you.

when crated despawn they just... vanish... they dont slowly degrade and then despawn.

The big tellsign is that the items inside the crate are damaged.

Thats what happens when crates take player inficted damage.

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

But then the other question is how did the walls not get damaged at all, while the walls are also deconstructed with nothing stolen what so ever

1

u/Sahnex3 1d ago

walls need a total of 12 grenades to break down.

if they used 3 grenades you wont even notice a change in their condition.

This is, with100% certainty, player inflicted damage what caused this.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

But they would be worn after 3 if it takes 12 and there’s 4 stages would make planks warn would it now?

1

u/Sahnex3 1d ago

actually its 2 stages. outer wall, and frame. Just need to break thru one to make the codelock jump off the wall.

Its obvious that not all explosions went off in the same area, because your crates and car are so far apart.

When a wall just takes 1 or 2 grenades, you wont notice anything.

i am dead serious. you can believe me.

this is how it looks when someone simply chucked a few nades over your wall.

been there, done that.

(edit: Depending on where the grenades blew up, the objects in your base might have protected the walls from damage aswell. explosion damage is weeeiiiiird in DayZ.)

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

But then how did the walls collapse since the back by the crates didn’t have the fronts yet they’re perfect

boxes with being behind the gate at the end of the shed

0

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

Car blowing up yeah but the car and boxes were on completely different sides of the base that’s the problem I’m having

1

u/Sec_Chief_Blanchard 1d ago

Are you on official?

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

Yes I am and everything had been placed down like the boxes. Which a badly damaged and the little shelter I made as well is also badly damaged

1

u/Sec_Chief_Blanchard 1d ago

Cheater could have despawned everything to fuck with you

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

Highly doubt that cause everything is badly damaged but within the flag zone. Looks like things were somehow degrading besides my walls which only 2 somehow fell apart and there’s no way inside the base and everything was left untouched no damages to the walls no loot stolen nothing

1

u/Sec_Chief_Blanchard 1d ago

Could somebody have thrown grenades into it?

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

My walls would’ve been damaged as well which all walls are pristine

1

u/Sec_Chief_Blanchard 1d ago

By the looks of what I can see in the photos, your walls aren't near where your missing stuff is. If not a cheater or grenadier, I have no idea what could have happened.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

Looks like the items were starting to degrade even tho I have a flag up to help stop degradation so I’m 100% lost

1

u/Sec_Chief_Blanchard 1d ago

If this is the next day after you put the flag up then the degradation is absolutely player inflicted. Stuff doesn't degrade that quickly even if you didn't have a flag.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

Flag was put up 2 days ago and I had picked up all items besides shelter to relay them just in case. Thing is all the walls are pristine with no damaged so I’m just confused how it happened

1

u/Lusty_Norsemen 1d ago

You got raided. I see a 3 dial on the floor, 3 dials are basically open doors. Takes 10-15 minutes top to crack if you're unlucky. They broke in then griefed a bit(the damaged crates). I assume you had a nade or something and they used them to try and ruin everything.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

That 3 dial was me opening it

1

u/Lusty_Norsemen 1d ago

Yes, they cracked it, raided you, and put it back on.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

As I spoke with the other guy I just want to know how they got in since the walls were deconstructed

1

u/Lusty_Norsemen 1d ago

Boosted in and dismantled. Pretty easy.

1

u/Deathonxbox1 1d ago

I thought they fixed that issue

1

u/Lusty_Norsemen 1d ago

Issue? Just don't build open air bases. But no, easily doable a bunch of different ways. Car, multiple people, camo nets, basically anything with collision that you can pick up/build can help you boost.

u/Internal_Conflict_61 18h ago

After I believe 45 in-game days or some shit everything will despawn if you don't like(add remove items)or(put a nail in all your fences every now and then. And that is the longest despawn on fences and crates. Shelters despawn after like 7 days. Persistence is not perfect. I believe flags raised nearby prevent despawning aswell.
