Chests do NOT save on Menu or Exit. Lost tons of resources (on Mac)
Same thing happened here. I quit due to a bug where no items were spawned in the water. I relogged and everything was okay. I restarted an hour later and everything was gone (all my chests resources, 7 from the 8 potato farms and all my cooking grills and fishing nets were empty). This needs a fix (inventory was still okay).
Edit: OS: Windows 10!
Same issue for me as well. I had 4 to 5 chests full of resources and after saving by going to menu or exit saving, all chests get emptied. however your inventory stays the same. As a workaround, if I save, I move as much as I can to inventory first. This definitely need to be fixed. Also, anything in the nets disappears as well, but that is tolerable.
Edit - Using Windows 10 and the 64 bit version 1.04.
There is a really wierd bug with chests for me, the items disappear in some chests but correctly save in others. It's somehow based on number of chests placed in the world or on their distance from the original spawn point, here's a video where i show what happens:
At the end i show where my original spawn point is, right between the big group of chests and the cookers.
I'm using the Windows 64bit version and also i use Windows 8
when i leave and come back on. my own characters inventory remains but not the chests inventory and one or two of my food or water or both disappear. also both of my chests were around spawn. and one had lots of potatos an the other had lots of wood an scrap.but not full.
i think the chest glitch is caused by to much items in chests. because i did a test and put only 9 wood in one of the chest and came back on twice and the 9 wood was still there. also both of my chest are around spawn and next to each other i only had two chest in that world.
this may be diffrent for other people
