Ships sunk in own port

[Toto Rockabilly 7]

is it normal for ships to be automatically removed when they are unused in port?

I was online every 2 days and of course I did not use all ships.

Have you place a flag down and claimed the area??? Because if you didn't your stuff will start to decay rapidly especially if you leave your stuff in an unclaimed area =:3

The area was claimed!

the ships are removed in the port of our own island.

Yes unused ships will be removed if unused.  I don't recall the exact time.  If you want to keep the ships un-anchor them for a minute and re-anchor.  Resets timer.  I do this once a week and it seems to work.

let me tell you the story about a group of incompetent developers who had this conversation:

Dev1: You know what would be funny

Dev2: What?

Dev1: If someone puts time and effort into building a ship/s and it sinks because he hasnt logged in 2 weeks

Dev3: why so long tho? lets make a smaller timer based on ship activity

Dev2: why not both?

Dev4: ....lets do it!

and thats the story of how several types of decay timers were introduced.....

You dont need to reanchor, just jump to it once a week or so and you are fine.
