Boat Disappearing

167 votes

Very frequently on my server (2-3 players) our boats tend to disappear while they're resting just outside of our settlement.
We've tried building docks, making sure there's a workbench in range, and even beaching the ship to rule out it sailing away or being broken.
We're unsure if this is something we're doing wrong or an issue in the game, as I've yet to find people experiencing similar issues

My friends and I have also been experiencing this issue (server of ~5 people). Very frustrating to just lose an entire boat for no reason. We have had 3 boats disappear, and they have definitely not been broken. In one instance, we saw the boat disappear while we were right next to it, and in another, we even saw the boat randomly teleporting around and teleporting on to land before completely disappearing.

There is definitely a issue with boats disappearing. We have lost 4 so far. I am on a dedicated server and this seems to happen every reset..poof gone. (server of 4/5people)

I've been playing on a server with ~5 people and just had a boat disappear immediately after I placed it. I saw it appear a distance away to the left and on land but no other players could see it. It disappeared for good after I teleported away and returned. We've only started experiencing such oddities after updating to 0.145.6 (it's possible that we missed it earlier though).

Can confirm this needs a look into, I've got about 50+ hours of gameplay now with a group of 6+ friends. 3 of us made the boats that require bronze nails to sail and explore, not having removed the items from the boat logging out, when we re-logged all the boats were gone. Which is a tad annoying. But great game so far nonethelesss!

Server of 2 people. Issues with boats (specifically Karves) disappearing. Having items in the storage is a common thread, but unsure if that is part of the bug or just coincidence.

It happens in solo sessions as well. I have built 2 karves and a raft and all have disappeared after logging out and then back in later.
