Storing inventory items in cupboards, etc.

[Yuri]

My question is: would they disappear? If so, what is the time limit?

 

[alec]

Items stored in containers (cupboards and so on) don't disappear.

I'm not sure about items that are simply left on the ground.

 

[Rev. Layle]

Nope, unless you put it on a random encounter map. All other static locations will keep their items until you delete that saved game slot. Same with items on the ground, I believe (as long as it is not on a random map).

Oohh... really?!

*looks at cupboard*

If you are playing FO2, get the car, and shove it all in the trunk

Here's a small tip, go to a town, find a house with lots of lockers in it, if there are poeple in the house, kill them. Then shove all your crap into lockers and boxes, you can even assign one locker for weapons, one for ammo, etc.
Or you could whipe out the raiders cave and use it as a base, that's what I allways do

Use a house in the back in GECKO, there's where i leave all things . Ammo in one container, weapons in other, health in other..and so on

Lets see, i use laras old house in the den, the destroyed military base, navaro, raiders base, the stables, the empty casinos of the mob bosses i killed (Salvators second floor has alot of storage area.)and a few other places. Also, just on a side note, using 9 beer on each of the police in the ncr police station, then sneaking will allow you to loot the lockers, Pers guide says you have to kill them.

I'll put it on my list of stuff to check, thanks.

Hmm, I do already have a general note about using Beer to lower PE, maybe using lots of them to get a few Grenades and stuff extra in this place isn't worth a specific mention.

Well, the raiders' base sounds good but I'm still at level 3, I think. Not powerful enough to challenge them yet.

good question

I've been searching about items going missing after storage in the forum. Found this interesting: cause I got my power armor from Navarro early on in the game. And loathed the k9-motivator and stored it in klamath at Vic's cause it was to heavy. Carried on playing. Now at a later stage in the game, when I need it cause i want the damn dog. Noticed it is gone. I think it's only the motivator, do not know excacly to much crap in cupboard. checked Navaro base and klamath multiple times, gone! Can this be related to the to many items bug?
Anyway can I get it back without cheating by inserting item? I'm afraid the (save)game will crash if I use to much cheats.

1. Items don't spontaneously disappear.

2. Not related to the items bug - it crashes maps, it doesn't remove single items.

3. Using Inventory editor correctly will not crash your game.
