Tents (and I think this applies for cars to if they don't get deleted on server restart) will always face a certain direction, I think its north, either way, you can't make a good base without everything breaking.
All of this combined seriously makes me very angry and to me it breaks the game because I can't have a fluent base without needing to build a car just so it can de-spawn and also having to replace my tents all the time. (This also includes the fact that even tents disappear after 7 days).
