Glitched death chests NEED to be fixed..

[BenieTheDragon]

I get it, Early Access. But this bug where the death chest doesn't spawn (because you're on a small slope and it likely spawns under the world), is game-breaking and really needs to be fixed.
I've had this bug happen to me three times. This is bad as one of these times you might not be paying attention while you're holding rare minerals and you die from forgetting you were waiting for your Thirst bar to fully drop, and you end up dying and boom.. goodbye effort.

I've often died because sometimes I played with the sound turned off, which means getting caught up in what you're doing becomes more dangerous. There's no beep or even that "you better be inches from a door" suffocation heartbeat. Normally I monitor everything visually, but there's times I've been so focused on getting a build right, or hunting down the one piece of iron I need, that I've wondered "hey why is the screen going dark.... oh wait".

That sometimes leads to a fun game where I try to figure out where the hell I was so I can find my death chest.

Relaxed mode is for you... no dropped stuff when you die...

And please do not try perma death... that WILL make you rage quit not only the game but even RL...

I agree, especially in the super alloy mines as i kept mistaking a solar panel for my inventory which turned out to follow the same bug

I have just had enough of this glitch especially on the UNdeveloped rock terrain that allows you to clip right through it.

Speaking of which, my uranium rocket exploded because I touched while it was launching, destroying every last crum of my base

I know how to fix glitched death chests. I found this reddit post on how to do it(not by me):

You do have to edit your save file but it is fine.

Oh this is helpful. I've had this happen and just thought my stuff was deleted in a bug. Now I can fix it if it happens again. Thanks.

Play on Hardcore. You won't have a problem with this anymore.

That is the way to do it...

There's no reason to play anything but Relaxed. Everything else just makes the game more tedious imo.

Some of that tedium helps keeps things exciting. The world seems bigger when it's hostile, and having to watch your o2 supply makes traveling long distances an undertaking instead of just a matter of patience while you run/jetpack. It's why Survival mode is so popular in games like Fallout 4 or Minecraft - having needs that must be met gives more meaning to what you're doing. For instance, I really do think more games would benefit greatly from the introduction of bladders and colons that must be voided, which necessitates plumbing and working toilets, which gives you another reason to maintain a water supply.

Not that there's anything wrong with Relaxed modes - sometimes players just want to enjoy the ride without having to hang on for dear life for the sake of "excitement".

Also, there's no victory like the victory you feel when you're suffocating and running towards a pressure door, but everything goes black before you make it - then suddenly you're fine, because (somehow) you managed to keep running forward for that 1-2 seconds before darkness turns into death.

I never play Easy in any game. I just tire of having to drink water every 2 minutes. It's distracting.
