Randomly losing items anyone? (not to fire or ice)

[Hit it Up!™]

I have suddenly in my adventures now noticed my pickaxe, axe and a few other hotbar items gone randomly. Is there some mechanic that I'm missing that blows up hotbar tools? Electricity? I thought your tools were indestructible to cold/fire. Also I have blankets and my indestructable tent disappeared.

first of check that you are on the right Hotbar by clicking "Ctrl" to switch between hotbar 1 and 2.

or maybe Acids melted your stuff?

else i know Gnome enemies can steel stuff and teleport away so you need to hunt them down again and kill them to get your stuff back...

you can be lucky and "see" where they teleport's but as a general rule, try to kill Gnomes as fast as possible.

Thanks Revi, didn't know about the gnomes stealing so maybe that was it? Seems odd I'd lose so many items all at once though and not ever in any other scenarios. I don't think acid can destroy your tools? Definitely can't destroy your tent. Must have been gnomes?

This was in the changelog for version EA 23.15 updated on Nov 5 so if this happened since that update it probably wasn't gnomes stealing them unless there is a bug with this change. If it happens again you could report it using the in-game reporting tool by pressing F11 and including the save file.

I logged in for a new session just now (after playing until 6 hours ago) and practically all tools are gone. I was on my own meadow so it couldn't be the gnome stealing them. I lost an axe, pickaxe, hammer and fishing pole (and probably another tool I can't remember). Oddly enough, my shears and hoe are still in the hotbar.

I've lost microchips a couple times now, no idea how. Also, my pets have lost thrown items. No idea how a steel boomerang being used by a symbiote got destroyed or stolen, but it's happened often enough I gave up trying to make it work.

Same, I've lost all of my tools. Needed to use a backup that's a month old.

Yeah i keep losing my tools even tho i got multiple items with protection against thiefs

Even with items that have acidproof, fireproof, and thiefproof + the trait that prevents you from destroying your own stuff; items are still vanishing. Just had my money purse disappear with 43k orens in it. It looks like it has something to do with the amount of items that are in your inventory or the number of specific items that you have. Noticed it seems to happen the most often when you use a throwing and return item. It stutters and tries to place it in a different hotbar spot. Its just some basic coding issues that he had to work out in the old Elona, so it should be fixed up before the full release.
