Game really needs a way to delete items.

[blackELEPHANT[Mr. A.]]

I am right now in a swamp, and I get the entire time trophys, ooze stuff and I have no need or interesst in having it. So I can just throw it away. But now the stuff lays on the ground.

Throwing them away into water they will dissappear by next day.
I run a small distance from my main base to the edge of the water where its a bit deeper and throw everything after an event tons of skeletons etc there is no sparkle attached to them and they gone next day. Must be outside the Base perimeter.
Also agree it needs a delete option.

Not to worry. If it is outside of player built constructions area of influence it will disappear in about 2 days.

There's a console command for this

[crudewar]

trash can mod is awesome lol

[elkayeq]

F5 (brings up console)
devcommands (Enter dev mode)
debugmode (Enter Debug mode)
removedrops (removes all dropped items)

[Neslo]

its been tested, items dropped in the radius of a workbench do not disappear but those outside of it will disappear in a few days time.

[Mr.SmashySquirrel]

delete items mod works best pick up an item press delete while its in motion and poof gone. great for mining trips to dump stone and other crap.

I dug a pit and built a roofed well structure and now it's fun to lob things into the trash. There's a dense pile of sparkles at the bottom

[Maelstrom]

I hope this is something that gets addressed officially. A trash can in a proper spot is inconvenient and unintuitive and a rubbish pile in your base clutters up your instance count.

[Altimely]

there's a trash mod and a recycle mod for this

[Wariat117]

despawn timer is 1H
it can be speeded up by sleeping at bed
items inside of player's base can't despawn (unless they are 2m underwater)

just use command as other suggested or play longer than 1H

[stvlepore]

My understanding is that stumps cause performance issue clutter. Make sure you clear stumps.

I put them in the cargo of a boat, drive out a bit and throw them over board. Bonus: That's how it is done in astonishingly large parts of the real world as well!

Damn!! too much realism. But we still lack the seacreatures that get stuck in our crap out on sea.
