Items disappearing ?

[Hokipoki]

Has anyone else had a problem where your items disappear from storage? I have lost military helmet and army bullet proof vest from a storage box and now i noticed that all of my lug wrenches are also gone and i havent misplaced em. I have kept 1 of them in a tool box at my repair yard and another one at back of my car but neither of them are there anymore :/

There's a pretty obvious explanation if you're on a multiplayer server :) That aside items will normally despawn if they're outside containters.

Did you move away from the cell where your storage is located?

My guess is your save file is corrupted and some random loaded cells got rolledback or something similar. Which in this case happens to be your storage location.

I had similar issues where my progress somehow got reset in a particular location and some loot respawning in another.

I've experienced this on a multiplayer server and on singleplayer. It seems to happen less in player-built storage or relocated storage. Carpentry shelves, cardboard boxes that have been moved, etc...

The thing is that im playing SP save atm and the lug wrench i was surprised was gone was at back of my car that i use daily. Was gonna change suspension but i couldnt since lug wrench was just gone and i have made always sure to put it back to the back of that car.

I noticed em gone when i loaded my game again. Dunnoh when the one in the tool box went missing, but the one at the back of my car was there still the last time i played :/

Im just afraid of more stuff disappearing, i have hoarded loads of guns and ammo to my base and it would be shame if it just started disappearing before i had chance to use em.

I recently had the same problem: I had all my car tool like wrenches on a pile near the car I work on and one day most of them were gone. Found them in the trunk of a working car nearby but don't remember that I put them there. I only have a single car jack, so these are definately the missing tools. Single players. I thought I was going crazy until I red the thread.

BTW, I have put a lot of things on the gorund outside of my base including excess skill books, things I broke while working on the car, the big fish I accidentally burned, extra leather jackets,all this kinds of things and so far nothing ever disappeared except for the same tools you were missing.

I had a similar event very recently. Lost loads of items in 1 go after PZ crashed.
Frustrating, part of the fun is missing now as well.

Well, the game crashed, so a save was not created / got corrupted. Are you using any mods? Those can cause crashes and these problems.

The save issue is evident yes, but i wonder how that cycle works.
And it also seems to depend if the item was moved between your own inventories and external inventories it seemed.

It looked like the crash happened before the save cycle indeed.
I would just like to know the timing here, because some time had passed between me moving items and the game crashing.

The only mod i have installed is "Riverside mansion".
I still have this, but the last few days the game has not crashed at all.

I have had something similar, I use a medic bag as my main bag in a multiplayer server to heal my friends. I might have put it on the ground or maybe even wearing it on my back but it disappeared when i rejoined the server. the same day it disappeared was the power outage so great timing.

[shattered_dm]

I know my wrenches are disappearing because the Make Salvaged Spear recipe is eating them. So I need one wrench per spear. So for those of you missing wrenches there may be a crafting mod that has them set as a consumable item.

Yes, on B42 in single player I've had items disappear, particularly bags. Sometimes duffel bags just vanish. But screwdrivers as well.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
