Is there a way to make crate items despawn?

[Zaga]

Im gonna be rebuilding pretty much my entire base and I know there will a quadrillion crates everywhere when I start deconstructing and I dont want have to clean all that up

Not that I know of, but if you hold ctrl while in dismantle mode, you'll mark up to 50 items to delete all at the same time, creating one box of spare parts. The box shows up at the location of the last item deleted, so a pro tip is to create a container near you, mark multiple items for deletion, and then delete the container so the spare parts box shows up there.

Simple answer : No.

Excellent advice, thank you very much

Not without using mods.

AA offers a 'Mass Dismantle' that give you the choice of of receiving all removed items in a single chest, or not at all (auto-delete all).

- right click and select "delete"
- repeat until everything you don't want is gone
- download your cleaned up save file and load it

would be nice if we could get some kind of logistics drone like factorio has that could focus on the recovery of these kinds of things and returning them to a storage of sorts.

No Drones in Satisfactory. Statement from the Devs.

You could just shove it all in an awesome sink. Will still require you to manually clean things up though. At least you will get something out of it all.

I believe the save game editor has a" teleport all crates to player" cheat option in the menu

You can't delete the crate without opening it and deleting the items, but if you're smart about it, you can collect them all in the same place for easy re-use.

1.) Build a Personal Storage Box where you want your crate.
2.) Fill your inventory to 100% with whatever.
3.) Hold Ctrl to multi-select 49 items for dismantle.
4.) Add the Box from step 1 as the 50th item.
5.) Dismantle all of the items.
6.) Observe the "Player Crate" that is now where the Box was.
7.) Repeat as necessary.

EDIT: You can also use this trick to mass-transport materials to a worksite -- so long as you don't mind walking all that way with your dismantle gun out.

I would recommend this as the only way to dismantle massive sections of factory, the sheer amount of time this game requires in terms of building and then rebuilding, you'd think they'd have a better, more efficient way of doing things, but nope, one at a time for the entire 200,000 object factory that I need to rebuild...

If there was a way to move items, and mass dismantle, this game would be much better.

It aged perfectly well since no such thing still exists. The drones that transport resources from A to B are not the drones that collect resources out in the wild like the user spoke of wanting.

Flag on the play. Moving goalposts. Repeat first grade.
