Hello Survivors! We’ve just deployed a new update to address several issues you’ve reported. A huge thank you to everyone who has been sharing their feedback and submitting bug reports.

You can observe time remaining on the tooltip of the item. We tried to make sure that important items / quest items don't destroy but if anyone notices any that can get destroyed - please l
