Decompose

[Ihateeverybody]

I was reading the stone chest profile on Wiki.

What does this mean? " Items do not decompose in Stone Chests."

I was not aware items decomsed at all. Where can I go to read up on this?

Couldn't find any link on google that wasn't a few years back (like 4-6)

They don't. "Items do not decompose in chests." is also on the wood chest wiki page.

It's just an info for the player who aren't sure if the game has a decomposition mechanic.

Example: If you put a wooden fence down on your farm, it's going to deteriorate and vanish over time (in 1 month I think).

If you put the same wooden fence post in a chest, you can store it safely for however long you want.

I think what people meant by "decompose" is that items dropped on the ground will disappear after a while (usually the next day) but you can still pick them back up before that happens. Items stored in chests, in almost all cases, last forever.

As far as I'm aware, there is no difference between wooden chests or stone chests as they serve the exact same function and purpose. It's just that stone chests look cool.

Before coming back a week ago I hadn't played since 2016 or so. Just wanted to be sure.

Game still holds up (After a few false starts and Mod adds.)
