How to recover items after multiple deaths in Vintage Story?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone,

I’m having a problem and I’m wondering if there’s a way to recover my items.

I died once while exploring and dropped all of my equipment. Before I could return to the location where I died, I died a second time. As a result, the death waypoint on the map was replaced by the new one, and I no longer have the marker for my first death.

My questions:

  • Is there any way to find the coordinates of a previous death?

  • Are death locations stored anywhere in logs or save files?

  • Is there a command, debug tool, or method to recover my dropped items?

This is a single-player world.

Thank you for your help!

If you don't mind "cheating" a bit, you can type /gm 2 in the chatbox, this will let you into creative mode, then press E to enter the creative menu, from there you can spawn whatever items you had on you. Once you're done type /gm 1 to get back into survival mode.

It would indeed be neat if the game tracked a few death locations instead of just the most recent one, ending up as bear food instantly after respawning does happen occasionally. 😅

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The problem is that I don’t exactly remember everything I had in my inventory, so recreating the items in creative mode would be a bit difficult.

Also, the second time I died happened because of a pretty unfortunate situation: I respawned in a trader’s bed and got stuck because of a bug. While I was stuck, a mob killed me, and it was in the middle of a storm 😅

So I’d really like to find the place where my items are.

Luckily, I had set the item despawn timer to 1 hour, and I quit the game shortly after this happened, so they should still be there.

I also tried switching to creative mode to fly around and search for the spot, but I wasn’t able to find it.

If anyone knows a way (logs, save files, commands, etc.) to recover the coordinates of the first death, it would help a lot.

Thanks!
