Hello guys! First post here, please don't be so negative and cause flame wars! :P
So when I first played Rust I got addicted really fast. After two hours of gathering resources I started to see a reasonable amount of players roaming around; some have clothing, some killing each other, and most of the time, noobs getting shot at and killing each other. At that point I already had a small wooden shelter, I was worried about someone killing me and that I'd have to find my camp all over again so I decided to make a sleeping bag. I started to feel like I am making big progress in this game but had no time to play any longer because I have school, so I logged off in my snug home :)
School was tough, with all the projects and homeworks I had, I didn't have time to play Rust until two days later... I was excited to play Rust again, to visit my camp, to gather more iron and build a pistol. But to my surprise, I was a fresh spawn! I check out if I had the wrong server, nope, this is the correct one. I was really really disappointed about this but I shrugged it off, "I guess my spot was not good enough." I thought to myself. After making a new account and progressing a bit I decided to call it a day.. After a good night's rest I came back to my old timer computer and check out my character. I was disappointed to what I saw next. I had a fresh spawn...
That's my story, please change this feature, or improve it so that you will not get killed everytime you log off. Maybe change it so that after, maybe an hour, your char. will disappear so you are safe from harm. I really hope they change this system, if they aim to make it realistic as possible, here is my question... In really life, when you sleep, do you sleep for 2 days straight?...
There are "no sleeper" servers that make your body disappear when you log off. Consider one of those.
Valid point, but as said above...that's what the "no sleeper" servers are for :)
I suspect you are sleeping behind a wooden door, which means that anyone who can hit it with a rock uninterrupted for a few minutes can break in and murder you.
To make it more difficult for them, you need to craft a more durable metal door, and ideally craft up a small house (even if only 1 floor, 4 pillars, 3 walls, 1 doorway and a roof) or something larger.
When you are murdered in your sleep, your next spawn is always "fresh" but this doesn't necessarily mean your camp is completely gone. Press F1 and "suicide" your character to get the spawn at camp option to see if there's anything left for you to return to.
Ultimately though, as Buttermuffin said, the only bullet proof way to ensure you can't be killed in your sleep is to join a no-sleeper server. This doesn't stop other users from trashing your camp in your absence, however, and is more likely to mean that another player can imprison your character by building around your camp, as you aren't present to murder and "evict" instead.
There are mods out there that allow what you are asking, I am sure some servers are already running it.
Otheriwse just use a no sleeper server

Well, it's been done. Find a server using this:

Or follow the advice of those above me.
Thank you for the quick reply guys! I will try to find a server that has the mod Gliktch just told me, if I can't find any, then I'll just pick one of the no sleepers server (didn't know there was one xD), but I hate that you can combat log!

Another alternative would be to play on a pvp, sleeper server where it's possible to make your body pretty secure inside your base, because C4 is very rare, and uncraftable. Our server has been running about 7 days now, and there's only about 15 C4 in the whole server, spread amongst about 30 regular players. Essentially so long as you're behind 2-3 metal doors you're pretty safe :) That's not to say that you won't ever get raided - but unless you make a serious mistake in your design or really piss someone/a group off, it's unlikely to happen ;)

And even if you're not in the right region to get a good ping to us, you can search around for something similar and local to you :) Perhaps just have a browse through the Servers subforum - if an admin takes the time to post there, that's already a good sign that they will be informed and involved. ;)
P.S.: thanks for getting my name right haha :p
