How does portable constructor removal work?

HWS General Discussion
1

Seems like I get wildly varying results when I place (and return to) portable constructors. and portable oxygen/water generators. how long do they last on hws, and what affects their lifespan? I understand they disappear on the weekly terrain wipe , but that’s not what i’m talking about.

also I understand that even in pvp areas, portable cons belonging to other factions cannot be accessed or attacked, is that correct?

They should last forever unless
(1) Terrain reset, press M to check that
(2) Destroyed in PVP (they can be destroyed there, autominers too)
(3) Picked up by a faction member?

I don’t think they are removed after 9 days for being unvisited (like structures), but I may be wrong there
