Admin Placed Static Containers
Hey All! Thanks for trying out our mod, if you have questions hit us up on our discord (link on main page). In terms of the "admin placed items", Any admin tools should work for the majority of placement though there are a few that you will have less control over. The tree stump for example, the roots don't sit down into the ground unless they are manually placed there (using crane arm tool in COM or something of that nature). That being said I believe very few items fit that category of special placement, for example the static haybail stash to my knowledge sits just fine with its current hitbox and would require no tweaking upon placement (similar to the crate and several others).In regards to these specific static containers: I highly recommend messing around with Sneaky stashes in COM if you get the time because you can do some pretty creative things. For example, I made one of the sneaky cash registers sit perfectly within the profile of one of the vanilla ones in a store for fun at one point making it that much more invisible in terms of people who would notice something out of place in a room they've explored 100 times. Or maybe you use a voucher system from your trader to by a super special exclusive admin placed secret stump that no one else knows about, if you guys come up some great ideas please share ^_^

In terms of the COM placement script that is included, if you would like to have some of the sneaky static containers placed throughout your server (in well thought out places, sneaky but not impossible to find so players use them) follow this guide here to do that:

The only difference is that instead of just leaving the structure placement code in your server for it to be replaced upon every server restart you do it just once and save the server and shut it back down. This way the stashes are placed once and the persistence will keep them there (and their contents should someone choose to fill them with stuff). Keep in mind though that with this methodology if your server experiences any wipes they will need to be replaced.

Hit us up if you need any help getting this mod configured just the way you would like ^_^
