In any Bethesda game, never - ever store valuable stuff in pre-placed containers. They almost always respawn their contents and wipe out everything you placed in them. If you have the power to build, place your own containers - they'll preserve your stash.
Good to know 💯 luckily I had a save prior to this. I thought I was safe because I played a good bit of hours ever since I figured this out like 4 months ago and everything stayed the same. Wasn’t until I did the wait time 24 hrs 10 times that I realized all my containers reset (I hardly wait time when playing normal)
Assign a crew member to that outpost, it will probably prevent the box from despawning your stuff. There is a mod that lets you turn POI into your own outpost, and if they have an infinite storage it does not despawn your items, just be sure you assign at least one crew member to that outpost, else it will be repopulated with npcs and probably despawn your stored loot.
At my first ever glitch POI I had 3 crew assigned in that base and still the stuff despawned and respawned random content in those containers. As for mods, I’m holding out til creation kit tbh
I have tried this several times and it doesn't work. Place my outpost right outside the POI and it still doesn't let me place anything within the POI barrier.
@@archangelkilo5500 then what am I doing wrong? It seems pretty clear cut. But anytime I get near a POI border and try to place anything it turns red and gives me the restricted notice.
Just open your scanner and look around. Most of the POIs on planets and moons aren't main permanent areas. They generate and spawn in when you land on a planet. So most of the time you won't find the same exact thing in the same exact spot.
Not everyone intends to build an outpost that takes up the entire build area. Especially if they also have mods to increase the build area size. If someone's just building a personal base or something and not a massive industrial complex, they might just want their house near other stuff, rather than out in the middle of a big empty field.
