Rizzano Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I have a colleague who swears that since the last couple of alphas, specifically Alpha 15. he's played vanilla and swears that in vanilla, cars respawn. I say he's full of crap. I have played since Alpha 3 and NEVER had an experience where cars respawn without a mod to make it so. I know in certain circumstances a car or few will respawn if you have a quest and wrench and loot the cars then activate the quest, THEN cars will respawn around that POI. But in the wilderness, I have never had cars respawn in ANY alpha. I told him show me the patch notes where this is true. He said Devs don't always put everything in patch notes. I think something of a change of that significance would be in the patch notes. So, do vanilla wilderness cars respawn without a mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 For your colleague: Cars do not respawn in vanilla. Any more than trash bins or birds nests or mailboxes do, if destroyed (and excepting within a quest-reset POI of course). The loot inside of a car will respawn if the game is configured with loot respawning. But if you wrench up the car, it ain't coming back. Any chance your colleague has played on a public server where the admins respawn stuff periodically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCrook1028 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yep, as Boidster said. Total crap. Cars only respawn with a quest/mod or admin manual intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrkana Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The only other way is doing a quest, it will reset the entire poi including any cars that are on the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for a way to respawn previously wrenched vehicles Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampirenostra Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 you can simply reset chunk. but guess there is no way to reset vehicles only. Or you can simply add a new car to your world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti2xGr Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 No, you can not reset previously wrenched cars without resetting chunks. As mentioned, Grab a stack of variety of cars in various condition in Creative Menu, Fly around in Admin mode and place cars. I did a 12K map in about 2 hours...or just use a modlet. I used to reset chunks after checking for user bases. After trying the few ways to reset cars, I either let it naturally degrade or use a modlet.
