I ran into the unfortunate situation where i didn't realize items are stored in baskets, and when you remove the basket- you also remove those items. I had to get a skep and I threw a basket on the ground because I don't believe they can be placed anywhere or stored- not realizing it was carrying my tin bronze stuff (that I spent weeks in game looking for tin for) in that basket. I am beyond pissed, and I do blame myself for being so careless, but i think its a waste in the end to not be able to at least store empty containers in chests (because what would I do when I get linen sacks and then want to transport skeps).
If there is already a fix in game for this, please let me know.
Thank you,
