How does sector stash works?

[KSB]

i tried stashing my extra weapons at a grid and left the location, but when i came back later with the same squad, i cannot find it.

Also, can my stash be found and used by another squad?

Appreciate any answers please!

Well, Sector stash is accessible from satellite view, by pressing I key. Also you can check the column of icons at right bottom corner of your satellite view, one of them is meant to show all sectors stashes and numbers how many items each sector have. This view filter probably allows you to look into stash itself as well (not sure, since I use I key instead).
While you are entered sector and able to move your mercs on the ground, I opens only THEIR inventory (sector stash is not visible that way). In that case press M to get to satellite and I again for sector inventory.

Sector stash is shared so any of your mercs can grab it.
Never seen it vanish. Doesn't mean it cannot but I have never seen it happen.
If you kill something and it drops loot you don't need to go around finding it all as you can pick it all up from the sector stash.
There is an icon on the bottom right of your screen that allows you to toggle sector stash on and off which shows the number of items in each sector and allows you to see those items but you must be in that sector to pick something up and you can access this from the world map.
If you move something to sector stash from your inventory it is in some secret stash but if it's corpse loot that you just leave there the backpacks will stay there. As far as I know that loot does not decay. However I do not know what happens in any zone that changes with some sort of quest like the Fortress in Ernie Island or the refugee camp. I would think it stays but I guess there is a chance corpse loot disappears when those change.

I would try the toggle to see where your stuff is before worrying if it vanished. From what I have seen it's more likely you just confused where you left it than that it actually vanished but there is always the chance of a bug or glitch so who knows.

Explosives equipment can be spent in auto-battle, if you check the box at the bottom.

As already quoted the sector with stash and amount of items to stash can be shown on global with a button filter at bottom left.

But also when in global map you can click on the stash icon to check detail of its content, that's very handy.

But there's a few bugs, if a team is moving through the sector, the stash icon is blue and click on it will just show the other team. And second bug, this intermediate blue state persists until the team reach another sector with some stash (not sea, river).
