BLUE CRATES

[sunburstsports]

Very sorry if this has been addressed before. I cant find where it has. Once the items in the crates are taken out, will other items respond in them, or can i just delete them? ty

[Coops]

Crates do not re-fill.

Nothing in the game should respawn or refill. Due to a bug, sometimes crates or other things in wrecks and bunkers do reappear.

So yes, once you have emptied a crate it is no use to you (unless it's a good place to keep things). you can disassemble it and get whatever it's made of.

you get 1 iron for dissasembly, probably best to just leave it

No they don't refill but I deconstruct them all just so I don't get excited thinking I found a chest when I've already looted it and let myself down lol

[sunburstsports]

Thank you for you replies and comments. I believe ill just get rid of them and move on.
Im like a little kid at Xmas when i find one. What a game.

Early game i leave a water and oxygen in them so i can use them instead of dying, sure loot them, but they can be used as a supply point so i don't delete them til later in the game.

If I come across a crate that I don't completely loot and deconstruct, I leave a windmill next to it so it's easier to find again.

Instead of scattering my stuff around, in early-game stages I leave Oxygen/Water/Food in a blue crate inside each of my one-room shelters. I put one next to each wreck and each cave I use, plus a couple of other places along long journeys.

I don't know why I bother with the blue crate. I could just leave the stuff on the floor. But it's only one iron.

Technically not true, provided the correct materials are in range any autocrafter should and will.

If you just drop them on the ground, they can despawn if you log out, I have had it happen.

Crafting and respawning are not the same thing

Agreed, your point being?

things do not respawn in autocrafters. And they do not automatically refill unless you actively provide the ingredients. Saying "well technically they refill" is pointlessly pedantic, since you knew what they meant

Reread and come back when done so successfully.

Edit: Corrected a few of your mistakes.
Edit2: Please explain where the crafted things (re-)spawn, if no in the crafter, after you took them out.
Edit3: Why should one "actively" provide ingredients if this can be done, in a more convenient, passive way, via automation?
