Disappearing items

[MajorHazard]

First...absolutely love the game. The only issue I've found is that when I leave my base and come back a LOT of my stockpiled items are gone. Sticks (by fire), Molinara leaves, obsidian stone, honey.....just to name a few. When you're playing "green hell" mode, all your resources are precious. Not sure if this is a bug or just the new norm now. I will try to make a storage chest and see if it continues.

came back and all my stacked mud bricks were gone including all the mud bricks in the mixer.

I also encountered this bug. I like to place items on the mats or wooden benches in the camps, and some of them dissappeared after some time. Also food from the dryer dissappeared or is spoiled although marked as dried. There is one fish I can't pick up from the dryer and blocks the spot.

The vanishing happend before the update too, but most times they were just bugged under something.

Edit: the pot dissappeard now too. And that annoying because I can't get it back and putting it into a storage box every time after use is no fine solution. I left it on the stone ring.

Edit II: the (iron) Axe is now gone too, although I didn't left it on the ground but on a bag. (seems to not matter as long as its not in the inventory)
I'm totally fine with items dissappearing because they spoil or decay when it's a logical thing (like feathers, plant stuff, even dried meat after a longer time and even when they are in a storage box) but not with the "manmade" stuff like the pot or weapons (or stuff that do not spoil like metal things), especially when you can't get them back.

Was added in the big release. V.1.0
*Items left on the ground will now disappearing over time

So better stick those stock piles in storage boxes, storage holders ect....

I had all my raw meat disappear from the drying rack while it was still in drying process. Also had the pot disappear from the original position. Hopefully there'll be a fix for this.

So when we save and exit then return that counts as 5 days?
Sounds like 2 different issues. Thanks.

I figured it was deliberate, which is annoying for things like logs and long sticks.... so I built some chests, but Ive had stuff vanish out of the chests too (feathers, fish bones, bandages and tinder so far).

Does anyone know if the coconut halves vanish too- cus I tend to leave them lying around for water instead of building the water stuff- especially early on.

I just purchased this game yesterday, and experienced this problem today. I was collecting big stones to build a fire with, but one time I came back and my whole pile of big stones was gone. I feel like there is not even enough big stones left on the map now to make a fire pit! It's the only thing that doesn't make much sense in this game, especially if what you guys are saying is true where things can disappear from chests. This is going to shape the entire way that I play this game now...

EDIT: A coconut just dissapeared. That's game over for my skill level

Creepy Jar wrote somewhere so from memory when they updated the database to Unity 2018 due to the amount of stuff stored on the ground it caused performance isues , The Unity game engine handles this as a form of rubbish in the codes so whenever Unity dumps the rubbish it caused problems with frame drops and clipping...
If I can find where they wrote this I'll post it here.

Sticks, leafs and half coconuts I left on the ground, even in jungle, do not disappear in ~20 game days.
Weapons and tools seams to be fastest to disappear.
This would suggest that the disappearing was introduced to convince us to build inventory boxes, rather than mitigate Unity problems with large number of objects. That's rather disappointing...
I do hope there is a weapon rack and/or tool box... #$%&* ##@$ boxes
