I wish they would degrade over time or despawn I have so much leftover salt just sitting in the ocean

[smackeymonkey]

urghhhh I was doing it in the life boat, why can't we do it in there?

You aren't allowed to drop items indoors. That is why. No other reason.

Well, I don't know if it happened in bases also, but when we could drop stuff in the Escape Pod it would frequently fall thru its floor, onto the sea floor. (noticed it when I'd just started playing, and they fixed it shortly after that - this was awhile ago)

Wouldn't it be better to add an incinerator to the game? Also it would be good to have the option of cutting things without taking samples - because sometimes when I'm cutting something out of a planter, I just want to remove it, not fill up my inventory with said thing.
P.S. The workaround I use is to fill up my inventory with fruit whenever I don't want to collect something.

I haven't looked in awhile, but I saw an incinerator on Trello awhile back, for the Cyclops.

I understand. :)

Guys...let me break it down for you all.

1. Build a wall locker[subnautica.wikia.com] in a random spot.
2. Name it Trash.
3. Fill it with your trash.
4. Deconstruct the locker.
5. See #1.

[LOTAB]

Yeah, that's what I do, but I just don't name it. I don't really have a lot of extra stuff, though anyway. I use most of it.

I feel embarrassed admitting I did not think of that, despite being able to work out I could deconstruct the aquariums when they became too full. Thank you.

Surprisingly this works perfectly. However It seems more like an exploit of an overlooked detail in container deconstruction and if I were a dev I'd end up fixing it in some way. Probably by making the deconstruction fail until you removed items from it (don't want players accidentally deleting a bunch of things they DO want to keep!).

I really do wish they'd give us a deconstructor or incinerator or something for us to throw junk into. Since we can rearrange molcules(or is it atoms? I always confuse the two) into things via the faricator, It would make sense that we could deconstruct salt and store it in highly efficient form in a 'matter storage array'. This could operate similiar to the pattern buffer concept used in star trek. It's not useable until you refrabricate it, but in the meantime it's stored in a more compact form instead of filling up a locker. Energy would be required to convert it back, however.

Sounds like something I should add to my proposals thread.

Is already in place. It takes long enough holding down the mouse button to deconstruct allowing you to consider what you are deconstructing and stop just by lifting a finger.

A modified Bioreactor[subnautica.wikia.com] would get my vote for a disposal system.
