World Item Removal Whitelist Help
For sake of keeping the server I'm making nice and tidy, I wanted to take advantage of the world item removal whitelist option. Can anyone make sure the item list I have is comprehensive enough to not break the game? ♥

My current list of items that can be left out on the ground indefinitely includes:
Base.Log, Base.LogStacks2, Base.LogStacks3, Base.LogStacks4, Base.CarKey, Base.Axe, Base.Crowbar, Base.Hammer, Base.LugWrench, Base.Jack, Base.Spanner, Base.PipeWrench, Base.Blowtorch, Base.Sledgehammer, Base.WoodAxe, Base.Saw, Base.Screwdriver, Base.CarBatteryCharger, Base.PickAxe, Base.BucketEmpty, Base.BucketWaterFull, Base.Pot, Base.WaterPot, Base.Bowl, Base.WaterBowl, Base.EmptyJar, Base.Saucepan, Base.WaterSaucepan, Base.OldTire1, Base.OldTire2, Base.OldTire3, Base.NormalTire1, Base.NormalTire2, Base.NormalTire3, Base.ModernTire1, Base.ModernTire2, Base.ModernTire3, Base.Hinge, Base.Doorknob, Base.Nails, Base.MetalBar, Base.SheetMetal, Base.MetalPipe, Base.Pipe, Base.ScrapMetal, Base.Screws, Base.SmallMetalSheet, Base.UnusableWood, Base.UnusuableMetal, Base.PropaneTank, Base.PetrolCan, Base.EmptyPetrolCan

Which I think covers all the standard crafting materials (like logs & planks), items that you would place in the world to collect rain for you, as well as tools that can spawn in the world as part of scenarios (such as cars w/ tires & jacks, sledgehammers at worksites, etc).

Does anyone know of any that I've missed or overlooked, or any items I should add to the list for sake of convenience or sanity?

It's also my understanding that "placed" items are ignored by the cleanup process (e.g. a bag of chips left on the ground will get removed when items are cleared from the ground, but a bag of chaps "placed" as a decoration won't). Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT: In hindsight, added items that drop from broken doors (e.g. hinges, doorknobs, metal sheets, etc), so that doorknobs & hinges can be found after zombies have ransacked a house.

You're very welcome. I also believe I confirmed that placed objects will in fact get cleaned up by the server sweep (had a few things go missing that way) so if you use this, you might want to include a warning to everyone about it. I had a tendency to use extra bags (e.g. garbage bags, etc) just placed on the ground to store loot, which vanished after the specific amount of time (instead, using the cardboard boxes you find in the world works well for this). :p

I'm always on the lookout for more items to add to the whitelist as well, so if you think of any let me know. ♥

Not without a mod. However, there are some very nice mods that let you do things like melt it and make new windows and stuff out of it.

Oh, those are already included. That would be, "Base.PetrolCan, Base.EmptyPetrolCan" at the end.

For this you cast a 2 year Necromancy spell?

I'm telling on you.

Still relevant, PC performance takes priority, especially if said user is having similar or same issues.

My take? Perhaps some old or disused mods, had to do a purge only a week ago, had a startup of zomboid which took 17 minutes on startup of a fresh PC, then removed old mods, cut it in half.
