is dying in lava unsalvageable?

[Rustoration]

i haven't decided on getting the game just yet as i'm only super into the monster collecting half of it, but i was wondering if dying in lava destroys all your stuff? or is there some pal at some point that can traverse lava? mainly asking because i learned through watching various streams that you also drop your party when you die. losing your item to lava is one thing, but losing your actual team due to dying in lava sounds super harsh.

Didn't died in lava yet to tell what happens, but died on "unaccessible" locations already and the bag teleports to a accessible place.

Also, there are settings you can choose what you drop or not when dying

This, the bag will be at the point you left a "safe spot". I had it happen when I drowned, bag was up at the point I jumped off the cliff.

I died in lava on top of the volcano and my items stayed below the lava. :')

Have died many times and have never 'dropped my team' is that a setting?

There are multiple settings where you can customize what you'll drop when you die. Currently running, drop nothing, but you can make it to where you drop your pals and items, just your items but not your pals or you drop nothing at all.

from what i tried you can most likely fly over the beam and collect it in the sky, when i first restarted the game i was forced to respawn because i got stuck in the floor and i could just reccolect my bags trough the beam itself you dotn need to be at the sack just the light beam should prompt collect from what i have tested a couple of times which i think is a great feature.

From the world settings. Casual: no drops, "no penalties". Normal: all equipment and material items are dropped on the spot. Hard: all items and Pals are dropped on the spot. Custom: any of the previous 3 options can be set.

So if you play on Casual or Normal worlds, or custom settings with those low settings, then your Pals should be safe from your brazen disregard for your own safety (at least in that specific situation: it is a blessing, and a curse).

You are the greatest thing since slice bread. This worked for me. Thanks for the heads up. This saved my sanity after trying to get it back and getting super frustrated without being able to get near the drops.

Hey! Just got into this problem recently when playing, I found out if you hover over the lava spot (with a Vanwyrm if possible) you can hover of the beam and access the inventory from any height. You will get the [F] option if you are in the right spot!

There's a new npc in the starting area, by the (most likely) 2nd teleport you'd come across. She explains that the you can grab loot from your dropped death bag just from the light beam and any distance above it.

isint there any mounts that, like water goers, are fire goers and lava wouldent bother them?

just out of curiosity.
