Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:
Community Discord: https://discord.gg/nitrado
Guides section: https://server.nitrado.net/guides

  • When does a server "reset" items

    Thanks for the reply! This makes so much more sense now. So basically I have to just wait out the clock to see new items at areas, correct? Does my distance from the area make a difference? For instance, if I have a camp just outside of a town, will the items still respawn after the countdown or will the count be paused because we are close to the area?

  • When does a server "reset" items

    I'm a little confused on what a server "reset" is so I will do my best to articulate what I mean:

    I've been playing with my bud on our newly bought private server here on Nitrado for the past week or so. No problems so far, everything is groovy. I've noticed however, that when we re-visit areas we haven't been too in days, things like old campfires, a broken car we wrecked, and other stuff that should have de-spawed by now are still there.


    I've been playing for several years now, always on dedicated servers. I am pretty sure that these items should have gone away when the server resets (which we've done manually several times, not scheduled) but even when the server resets they are there. I've also noticed that towns we've stripped dry haven't really respawned anything new either.


    Now I am wondering if there is another way we should be restarting the server. Does shutting down the server and restarting it, restart the server internally? Am I over complicating this or am I missing something? Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded with my digital smile


    :)
