Items spawning indefinitly

[Sham]

So here is my problem, I just started playing and wanted to try and mess around with the game. I discovered the shift+F12 menu and tryed to spawn a random item to see how it worked. But now items are spawning all the time in my small shack.

Is there a way to reset the entry, cancel the chainspawn ? I've tryed the fix button and the regenerate navmesh, just in case.

Well, I'd say revert to a save before using the in-game editor if you can. That editor is known to be buggy and can potentially break stuff.

Besides that, no idea what the chain-spawn issue could be; you could try deleting the container if the items are spawning in one, or deleting the shack if they are spawning on the ground.

Sadly I realized what was hapenning way too late, when I came back in my shack, aftermultiple saves. I'll try removing the shack once I have enough to make a house, I hope it'll be enough since the items are only spawning inside it.

Thanks for your answer !

Wait I thought we couldn't spawn in items yet o_o which item are you spawning in, OP?

i think i had this happen after 'exploring' the editor and just thought upon finding the pile again that i had forgotten to clean up/lost the work to a crash(had it picked up/stored/sold off) Seems like importing took care of the new pile for good.

With shift+F12, using the "items" tool you can spawn random objects from a category, like random food, weapons, construction materials, etc.
You can only spawn items in a building, if the building is not yours looting the objects you just spawned will be considered stealing.

I can confirm spawning multiple objects always lead to that bug for me, the game keeps chainspawning said objects.
Removing the building in wich you spawned the objects does end it though.

Not that I'm using or would use it, of course not, but one may find it is a quick way to get construction materials, loots, food, or even tradable objects to get rich...

this is happening to me, i did this at my house in a town tho, so removing said building will be a bit of a pain in the ass

importing the save fixed this

I believe that is the placeable items category you found. That is a developer/modder tool. It is a spawner, not a single item.

Its purpose is to give shops and NPC houses something to loot, even if the player has already looted that dwelling before.

What you need to do, is use the ingame editor to delete the spawner and then save. Other option is to import your save, cause the spawner is not part of the region data (unless you accidentally saved it there), so it will not be imported with your things.

For me exploring and using the ingame editor spoiled the game. I no longer can play the game, cause the pull to misuse the editor is too strong, lol
