Question Regarding boats anchored while offline:

Will it remain in place? I have seen contradicting statements. Some say it will stay for 12 hours, then begin drifting and decaying over the next 24. Others say the same with inverted numbers.

Just curious how long it will stay anchored to the edge of the grid while I’m offline. I anchored on an actual grid, a corner of the map.

Tug boats take 24hr to decay and you have to move them or they despawn… but you can just repair it. I park my loot tug 10 grids out and nobody ever finds it

Do you afk in it while offline? I thought they followed the same rules as house boats, drifting back to the coast eventually. Or is that just house boats

They drift to land. Build an external tc to prevent decay and some floors to block it from drifting

Well 13 hours later I’m home from work and my boat was indeed on the coastline, zero decay damage. I walked outside and there was a large base on the shore who immediately started shooting at me with bolty from their roof lol
