Has anyone noticed items stored on mannequins or in chests losing health? I placed fully repaired Ant Armor, Spider Armor, and underwater gear on mannequins and a newly crafted dagger in a chest. When I went back to get them, they were all at half heath -- every item.
 

I hope this is just a bug. If this is a new feature it’s gonna be absolutely devastating to the game. Kill the broodmother and then lose the new mask because of a chest-timer? Uhh no. 

i just put every single armour set on manequins

 

I have experienced the chest/armor degrading issue more than once. I can't figure out what triggers it as it's not a constant problem. 

This happens when loading a save, whether auto or player created. I've tested several times. Any item placed in a chest or mannequin that has a durability value goes down to 50% and stays there after loading a save.  This also includes food left in cooking fires.

I am having the same issue. I have been building sets of armor and weapons to use on family game night, and all their brand new stuff is already broken.  Is this a feature or bug? This was all built and immediately put in storage.

This issue still isn't fixed and is happening on my character too even after the most recent patch....

 

This is because of the newest update, do not worry! It's because mostly all gear and items durability have been doubled! So they pretty much doubled the durability bar, and it's only at half health! No need to fret!
