I'm playing multiplayer with my brother. He is hosting the game and does not seem to have the issue I'm having.
Every time I leave our base, travel a fair distance, and come back, all of the containers (chests, palettes, baskets, jerky racks, everything) turn completely invisible and become inaccessible until I log out and rejoin.
Non-container furniture will sometimes be affected too, or be relocated to a different spot in the base (generally all in a pile). I can't reproduce the item piling at will, but the disappearance of containers after leaving the base happens 100% of the time, without fail. I have literally never not had this bug happen upon returning from an outing. It's very frustrating to have to relog every time I come home, further compounded by my hotpouch bar not saving after I log out. Every time I log in, it's reset to the defaults and I have to reorganize it.
I'm playing on the Xbox Game Pass PC version, and like I said, my brother (who is hosting the game) has had no issues that even remotely resemble mine.
Great game, loving it so far. I'm sure you guys will fix this bug in time, and it will be even better!
