[Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Inventory and Tool Belt Reset (2074)

Good evening, I’m playing online with my brother, in three days the game had many problems, errors while saving in any island, after one of these errors we lost 12 crates including the 2 initials with orange lid. After another mistake I lost all the objects I had in my personal archive (I was exploring the wrecks) and the belt with the tools attached. I tried to do it again but it’s a one time creation item. Too many mistakes: food and water are never enough, cooked meat that disappears during the night, if you create the raft with buoys or barrels or tires (without attacking theme to each other) and destroy them it leaves you only one object, then when you assemble everything and by chance you make mistakes, it is no longer possible to destroy and redo. if you don’t take aloe ointment you have to stay underwater; you do not heal after 3 days of poisoning, if you touch the sail the raft overturns, objects suspended in the air, others disappear, skips rescues … it is unplayable. May I know how to retrieve the tool belt please? Thanks

Buonasera, sto giocando online con mio fratello, in tre giorni il gioco ha avuto molti problemi, errori durante il salvataggio in qualsiasi isola, dopo uno di questi errori abbiamo perso 12 casse tra cui le 2 iniziali con coperchio arancio. Dopo un altro errore ho perso tutti gli oggetti che avevo nell’archivio personale ( stavo esplorando i relitti) e la cintura con annessi gli attrezzi. Ho provato a rifarla ma è un oggetto a creazione unica. Troppi errori: il cibo e l’acqua non sono mai sufficienti, carne messa a cuocere che sparisce durante la notte, se crei la zattera con le boe o barili o gomme (senza attaccarle tra loro) e le distruggi ti lascia un solo oggetto, quando poi assembli il tutto e per caso sbagli, non è più possibile distruggere e rifare; se non si prende l’unguento di aloe bisogna stare sott’acqua; non si guarisce dopo i 3 giorni di avvelenamento, se si tocca la vela si ribalta la zattera, oggetti sospesi nell’aria, altri che spariscono, salta i salvataggi… è ingiocabile. Posso sapere come recuperare la cintura degli attrezzi per favore? Grazie

Hi Simmy,

I’m sorry to hear this issue has affected your save. At the moment we do not have a workaround or in-game fix for the loss of the tool belt. Can you confirm for me which items were in your toolbelt when the issue occured?

As this post is only tracking the toolbelt issue, please report other issues in separate bug reports if you have not done so already as I cannot follow up on them in the comments section here - Though I will make a note of them for the team.

I was on multiplayer playing with my friend and he got booted and i lost my tool belt i didnt have refined axe i had flashlight speargun regular ax and a regular knife on my toolbelt

Hi Chiara, sorry I made a mistake again … in the tool belt I had: the refined knife, the refined ax, the pickaxe and the refined hammer. Shortly before he reported the error, my brother saw an ax in midair, he tried to catch it without success; I don’t know if it can be useful … Thanks

Ciao Chiara, scusa ho sbagliato di nuovo… nella cintura degli attrezzi avevo: il coltello raffinato, l’ascia raffinata, il piccone e il martello raffinato. Poco prima che segnalasse l’errore, mio fratello vedeva un’ascia a mezz’aria, ha provato a prenderla senza riuscirci; non so se può essere utile… Grazie

@Warlord13 - thank you for letting me know. I’ll inform the team of what your toolbelt contained.

@Simmy - No worries! Thank you for that extra information. I’ll let the team know what your brother saw in case it is helpful in their investigation :slight_smile:

Stil have this issue on ps4 it haopend twice now that my toolbelt is gone and all my stuff !! Can i get some compansation cause it makes the game un playable needing to restart every ■■■■■■■ time

Hi Blacksoulseater, I have moved your post to this newer topic as the issue you were posting in is older and resolved (not moving the topic on me and I will do it now)

I understand this issue is very frustrating for players, but please post in a respectful manner on the forums.

If you can recall what was in your toolbelt when this issue occured, please let us know as this information can help the team members investigating this issue.

[Update] - edited the title as this issue can occur in single player

Normaly i would post respectivly but me and my friend have put in hours of time for nothing . The things in my toolbelt where a hammer , axe , spear , compas for that matter .we even deleted the game today because more problems arose like kicking my friend every 2 minutes and needing to spend 5 minutes just to invite him back , or blue screening when saving at a shelter and thats just sad cause we both feel it could be the coolest survival game yet

Thank you for that information Blacksoulseater, I will pass these details onto the team members investigating this issue.

Encountered this issue today

Multiplayer PS4 - I was host

Day 36

Saved last night after making new refined axe and putting it on toolbelt. Today I have no toolbelt access and I can’t build a new one. Makes bonk noise when I hold l1 to access and d pad does nothing. Items were refined knife refined spear compass and refined axe.

Hi Arborcat, welcome to the forums,

I’m sorry to hear that this issue has affected your save too. Thank you for sharing the details of your experience. Before saving did you notice any disconnects for player 2 or did you experience any syncing issues at the time?

Multiplayer and didnt have refined axe. had regular axe,flashlight,refined knife,spear gun

Hi Warlord13, thanks for confirming that. Were any of the items in the toolbelt newly crafted and added to the toolbelt shortly before saving?

Most likely yes. We have been experiencing lots of disconnect and sync issues. Seems to maybe be less after the patch, played for a couple hours and only had one disconnect while on the raft sailing between islands.

Thank you for confirming that for me Arbotcat, I’ll update my disconnect report too.

Sorry I should have updated this post last week…

UPDATE 2021/12/06
Through testing the “Cleaning Up” phase issue, the team have found further clues in the cause of the inventory bug which they hope will lead to a fix being created and released to the community soon.

Thanks! It was quite difficult and nerve-racking fighting the bosses on permadeath, especially after a few failed attempts caused me to restart completely lol. I plan to overtake the current record of 421 days, lol. Fun fact: I have looted 23 of the islands on my world and all corresponding shipwrecks, and have only found one piece of duct tape. Had to finally deconstruct my boat motor to use the duct tape to make the speargun, so back at the sails again for now. Also to add a bit of information about the toolbelt/inventory bug that occurred in my other save. I haven’t loaded it up in a while, but since I accidentally saved with empty inventory and lost toolbelt it will likely not be redeemable. I was host on around day 60 when it finally happened, on a private multiplayer game. A friend had joined multiple times after a series of disconnects and watch desync issues. The common items that I had on my toolbelt with other reports I’ve seen were the speargun (in bottom slot) refined pick (in left slot). I had all 4 toolbelt slots unlocked. The save file that I’m using now was created before the patch was released, but I was careful to observe which items I placed in toolbelt. Up until now on the new file, I have only used 2 toolbelt slots (just in case the bug occurred I would still be able to make another 2 slots). Top slot being always occupied by a refined axe and right slot always a refined spear. I recently crafted the 3rd (bottom) toolbelt slot and placed a speargun in it, which I don’t plan to change for testing purposes. I have not had any issues so far. I know this comment is likely in the wrong place, but there are a few different topics about this bug and not sure if any were created in reference to playing on the Xbox Series X. Feel free to move this post elsewhere if there is a more fitting place.

Happy surviving everyone, hope this may help someone avoid the calamity :slight_smile:
