First off, what a fantastic overhaul. Having a blast playing, but ran into an issue.
I took up residence in a trader, seeing as it can be done (Not my personal favourite though. Preferred them protected), and started setting up my workstations and that. Placed down 1 of the new items. The hydro food thingy, and all was good, until I ended my session and came back next day, and it was gone.
Not sure if that was due to being in a traders area, or just a issue saving the new item. Guess I'll have to get my own base going soon and see.
