Death and storage and storagecontainer questions.
Hi,
I'm pretty new to this game and started in normal mode and haven't died so far. Now I have some questions what happens if I die.

1) will any money or nanites be lost upon death?
2) I heard you lose all stuff in your inventory if you die on foot except the stuff you have in your ship. If you die in space you lose your ship (and personal inventory both in suit and ship?) But what about the stuff you have in storage containers you built in you base, will you lose that stuff too or is it safe forever?
3) Speaking of storagecontainers - are they completely safe or can other players find my containers and loot them?
4) Is there any safe storage in nms thats not wiped if you die on foot or in space..

Anything else I should know?

Thanks.

When you die, your inventory is put into your grave. After you re-spawn, you can travel to your grave and pick everything up.

1) No.
2) You lose your suit inventory, but it stays where you died for you to collect. The game will place a marker. However, this is only for Normal mode.
3) Completely safe. Storage containers are more like magical access points to a pocket dimension where players store their stuff. If I were to access a storage container at your base, I would just see the contents of my own storage.
4) Yes, storage containers.

Bonus: Dying is a pretty rare occurrence, it'll happen maybe once or twice when you get a little too cocky for your own good and that's it.

Don't worry... dying in Normal mode isn't that big a deal. I've died lots of times. Usually by blowing my own face off with the plasma launcher accidentally.
If you're in Normal mode and you die your immediate inventory (person/ship) will be located in a grave marker where you died. After you respawn you can return to the grave site (it will be marked for you) and you can recover all your stuff. Items stored in the cargo section of your inventory will not be lost. Base storage is unaffected and all your installed tech will still be there.
As for looting I have never encountered this problem. I think you can set who can interact with your stuff in the Network settings for the game. Pretty sure if a random player were to encounter your base they'd be unable to access the storage containers. If you're playing with a friend they can probably loot your stuff but then if they do so, are they really your friend?
