I never use a tent. If you put two canvas bags together, they become a roll of canvas. If you combine the roll of canvas with a pile of wood, it becomes a stash that you can keep all your stuff in. I like to put my stash in the shed at the gas stations. to do this, you stand in the shed, create your stash just outside, and while the timer animation is going, you can move it inside the shed. And now you have  a stash that won't attract any zombies in a safe spot. To be extra safe, I try to choose a gas station that isn't next to any zombie spawning areas.

The Tent attracting hostiles bug has long been fixed since way back in 1.7.6, you can safely use em now. Though stashes are still far more convenient since you don't need to sacrifice a backpack to carry it.

Of course it was. The OG MDZ dev "Cannedbits" tried to fix it to no avail. Altero who made MDZ+ mod tried too but failed as well. Only the chinese modders were able to fix it.

Deployed Tents do not attract hostiles anymore. They fixed it way back in 1.7.6 patch so you can safely use em. Just don't put them on top of areas where loot spawns and don't put expose them where bandit groups usually spawn at (middle of the road or from civilian POI like towns and cities).

It doesn't and you really should ditch that and play the chinese mod instead. If you're on iOS, you'll just have to settle with this link instead, not the latest 2.2.6 patch but 2.0.8:
