No

Nope crates never despawn. You have to collect them.

[Kunovega]

Anything can be reached building platforms or ladders, go collect them and then remove what you built to reach them

[gusgblaw]

no but you can hide them on your map/compass from the map UI

I just bought this game. I wish I could turn the holiday stuff off, kinda ruining some of the atmosphere for me.

You can turn it off in the options.

you can also just hide them in the map so they dont appear on your compass

How do you even get that many crates?

1. Die a lot, you get a crate every time that you could go back and retrieve. Some people don't realize that you don't lose your items and started out not going back for it, could have built up quite a few before realizing the could be retrieved.

2. Have a full inventory when dismantling items and the game drops a crate at the location of whatever you were last pointing at to dismantle. If he was dismantling an entire factory but doing it block by block instead of using the multi-tool to do 50 at once, he would have individual crates for each instead of one for an area.

Generally if I know I'm going to make a crate by overflowing my inventory I try to get it all into one by clearing the entire area at once and then I come back for the crate, or I'll build a temp AWESOME sink off a biofuel generator and just sink it all then dismantle that last so there's nothing to come back for.
