Ah so loot that you drop doesn't count towards the area item cap. That's awesome to know! Thanks! So basically if you want new items to spawn you just pick em up and drop them into pile. Do you know if there's a global item cap? I would imagine there's some limit that if a server has X amount of items on the ground, no new items are spawned to maintain server stability.

Yeah i figured it's not working as it should yet. We set up a tent some time ago and dropped some trash next to the tent. The thrash remained there for a very long time, over a week. It remained through server resets and everything. It didn't get removed until 0.52 was released so i figured it never despawns on its own. There's always someone who gets butthurt about totally reasonable posts. If people just post guesses and opinions as if they were facts, then i'm none the wiser and a whole lot more confused. You need to toughen up a little and stop taking stuff so personally.

Hello, Could someone correct me, if i got this wrong: After server respawn, there's 98 (i know it's higher, but for sake of argument) trash items and 2 good items in the world. People come and pick up those good items and the server spawns 2 random items somewhere in the area, which are trash. If you want more spawns in the area, you need to pick up all the trash items like boots and crowbars and stuff to make space for new spawns. However the problem is that you can't destroy the trash loot, it fills up your inventory and if you drop it on the ground, server counts it as item again. So the server is now filled with trash items, and only way to destroy it is by picking it up and getting killed. Only other option i can think of is picking up the trash and dumping it on another server. I realize server restart makes all spawns fresh again but in persistance servers that doesn't work either. So am i correct to say, that once good items are picked up and replaced with trash, there's no easy way to clean up the area to make room for new spawns. Persistance servers are totally screwed because of this, because even server restart won't fix it. Am i missing something? Plz no guesses or opinions, if you have no clue how loot spawn works then your opinion is useless.
