We’re aware of the ongoing issues with vehicles—specifically players hoarding large numbers of them, and others using them for PvP actions on PvE servers. This week’s hotfix begins addressing that.
While the full vehicle respawn system will be introduced in our next major update (918) aswell as address sky bases, it wasn’t ready in time for this patch. In the meantime, server admins will be monitoring activity, especially for excessive vehicle hoarding.
This hotfix also includes several other improvements and fixes—please read the full patch notes below for all the details.
Server Info: Server owners please restart to pull latest patch (new vehicle claim system can be disabled on community servers via gameserversetting.ini file by changing MaxOwnedCars=0 )
- This is a server setting and can be enabled or disabled by server owners.
- Players can now claim up to 2 vehicles on official servers. (trial period feedback welcome)
- In PvE, other players cannot access your claimed vehicle, unless they are in your clan.
- Claimed vehicles cannot be damaged by other players in PvE.
- All vehicle parts must be installed before a vehicle can be claimed.
- Once claimed, the built-in padlock system activates, allowing you to lock your vehicle.

- This system is designed to give players a fairer experience and cut down on vehicle hoarding or griefing. (See images below for a preview of how it works in-game.)
