Placed Shelves + Firepit Disappearing

[suptoofs]

As the thread title suggests, had 2 shelving racks plus a campfire disappear. There were 4 other shelving units near it but they are fine. Any info on related issue besides " its alpha"?

Fire places despawn at server restart.  This is by design.  Shelving is considered a player built item, which if not maintained will disappear after 7 days, just like base built items.  The time may be more or less depending on how the server admin has their settings.

good to know for the fireplaces, the shelving was built less than 24 hours ago, could be a server side setting that the admin has adjusted, will check. TY for the response.

I want to say that I found out the reason for the disappearance. I am fairly confident that when you build player made structures (shelving) in a prefab structure that has the possibility to spawn lootable objects ( couches, chairs, beds , file cabinets etc....) that when the lootable objects spawn they replace or make player structures disappear. I have no hard evidence, but in the past 2 hours I lost 4 full shelves worth of stuff and the only noticeable change was the lootable objects spawning.

Server just restarted, all shelving units that disappeared have reappeared. Also if a mod wants to move this into a better forum than general, please feel free since I'm dumb.

You have to maintain a shelf?

I have a base where loot spawns. The loot intersecting the shelves has not been a problem. You can also shoot them to destroy them, so it is possible that someone is doing that. And in terms of making sure the storage doesn't delete, I'm pretty sure you don't have to maintain it with a jammer because then random tipis/shelves would disappear hidden in the reeds, etc. every 7 days. I just think you need to look at the contents or something similar to that every seven days.

I've also had shelves disappear if you build them near a place where loot spawns, such as cabinets and couches. They re-appear however after server restart.
