What survives the blink
Short answer
Stashes, cars, corpses, the can you dropped. Restarts shuffle the story. Exact timers stay empty.
Also: despawn · save
How it works
The hive keeps some things and eats others. Community boxes change the values.
What to do
Don't bet a life on a pile you didn't hide.
Don't
Don't invent despawn minutes.
