Will Items Disappear if left on the Ground?
« on: June 05, 2014, 02:46:10 am »
I basically covered it in the title (since I couldn't think of a better term than 'disappear' even though I'm nearly sure there is one)-

I like the idea of storing my stuff in containers in rooms only I have a key to, but it's also inconvenient to have to stop what I'm doing and walk several miles back to town to get a few things that I ran out of.

Simply: If I leave items on the ground, will they disappear? Also, do containers operate any differently in regards to the same question?

I don't think anything disappears, as far as I can tell. Be it floor, barrel or locker, it persists.

Well, I don't have such sure about barrels or lockers, but ground - the safeiest way to keep your swag.

Items on the ground = never disappear even in the middle of Junkyard which is full of thieves.  :D

But I did leave some items in garbage heap near three merchants and they vanished.  :'(

Oh, weird!

Unless containers reset and spawn new items this actually seems counter-intuitive.

Thanks, guys.

Though I would actually quite like to hear from a dev. I'm pretty sure there is no info in-game about safe storage, so I want to decide right now how I'm going to handle this.

There is a house in Junkyard slums, near Vince's gang. After you kill a thug that's inside, you can use containers in that house to store your stuff. I do this every time and it helps me greatly when i'm doing Junkyard quests.

Just a little tip, hopefully it will help someone (:

So far I have never seen any container resets and offer new items, I yet to test various garbage heaps if they all reset and items disappear in them but it would be interesting to find out if someone is regularly cleaning up garbage!  8)

No container should reset. If it does, then it's a bug.

Alright, cool!

I'll be sure to post any containers that reset in bugs! Thank you.
