Need some friendly builder advise? ? ?

is there an official way to place junk item inside your base because I'm looking around and seeing words like, "floor item" being used but can't seem to figure it out. maybe I'm blind.

Almost all the way to the far end of the build menu is a tab called “Floor Decor”. This is items you can build that will sit on a flat surface, such as the ground, a floor, a table.

If instead you are wanting to put that coffee pot you found in the refuge oit in your camp you will need to use a display.

I think we need a Display stash box with it's own capacity.
Put an item in and when in CAMP mode anything taken out can be placed like other items.
Take an item out when not in Camp mode and it's normal.

If anyone remembers "Oblivion" you could pick up any object and place it anywhere. In this game not so. I have heard of tricks to glitch items where you want them, but I don't know how to do that myself. Could be in one of those after market mods, but is that "legal"?

I've seen tube videos, where you can place a powered floor pad that you can do some really nice and neat things with it. Try looking to the Utube ... I don't partake anything Google lol. This pad, should be in your build menu somewhere, I forgot :0

If you have the chessboard display item from a previous season you can display various junk items. I don't know if it's available from the store/support.

Using merging techniques (I avoid them as they are glitches) you can use it to place items on top of tables or in shelves etc.

It's a finicky workaround and prone to bugs itself. The reason we can't manually place junk items is due to physics.

The physics in this game are handled client side. Any lose object is rendered individually and isn't always shared. Where one person sees that junk can be a totally different place to another.

Because of this variance item manipulation was removed, it's less immersion breaking that way.

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I'll work with what i have for now and hopefully shelves and tables will be able to display items better in the future.
