Title: Missing storage containers
Post by: JblakeR on January 20, 2013, 12:40:23 am
I have a tent camp near san franciso, and I had crafted several storage lockers and stocked them with supplies. I went there today, and they are all gone. Is this a bug? Is it possible to steal an entire storage container? What is going on?

If someone else has access to your tent then he stole everything inside the lockers THEN stole the lockers.



Otherwise it's a bug.

If anyone else has access to that place, they could empty those lockers, pick them up and carry them away.

And if this isn't the case... tough titties. GM's really don't give half a $#!+ about your problems.
Missing non-existing items in a computer game, yeah, these are problems.

their title is GAME master.... so this would typically fall under GM problems... at least we'd hope they would...


But you know, the game is in Alpha, and the title of GM is "person with special powers the residents of NCR will flock to when they appear"

They all have Magnetic Personality perk.

OP's lockers were probably stolen.

GM can't really help here.

We don't refund any "bug took my item", unless we can be 100% sure what and how was lost. Which
doesn't happen too often. There is not much GM can do to find out what happened, and if it was a thief,
GM couldn't tell it anyway, because it would be unfair for the thief.

In this particular case I really can't see a reason to jump to conclusions that it was a bug. Containers
can be picked up by players and the tents of people were raped hundreds of times.

Ah, the good old 'We can't help, and even if we could we wouldn't' statement.  I can't tell ya if it was a bug or not, but my tent still has it's containers so I can only assume you got your tent broken into.  Sucks sorry.

Apparently we live in reversal land. :P

Ok so I was just wondering if it WAS actually possible to steal an entire container. This seems unlikely, however, as there were over 20 lockers and safes which were crafted more for the xp than for the storage and they were ALL gone. That would greatly exceed a single thief's carry weight, and there is NO WAY a gang of thieves would target a trapper camp with low-level gear and steal mostly empty containers.

Perhaps it is a bug and crafted containers disappear after a certain amount of time? Or perhaps they were stolen by someone with no life. Either way, they are gone. I mainly just wanted to know if it was possible to do so, or if anyone else had experienced this issue.

A little sleuthing has revealed the crafted containers can be stolen when they are empty if you use the science skill. I also suspect a certain someone, so it is no longer any issue to me as they have been expelled.

Also, do not forget you can dismantle the containers by using science skill on them in your inventory.
