PC Several Questions (Move Boxes, Adjust Soil, Edit Map Marker, Trader Restock, Lootstage, Chunk Persistence)

[ellioMn]

I have several questions  (Unsure if proper decorum, didn't want to make tons of individual posts for each question, would feel like spamming)

If possible, you can answer one, several, or all, if you have the answer(s) ~

1.)   Is it somehow possible to move storage boxes after placement?

~ I can move some things after the 'claim block' is placed, such as the workbench, but can't seem to move emptied storage boxes. Frustrating, because it discourages moving (or even rearranging) my base after having placed iron or steel storage boxes.

2.)   Is it possible to adjust the ground height/slopes?

~ I know I can 'flatten' natural sloped ground by placing blocks over it, and I can place (in example) full topsoil ground blocks, but can't seem to modify the ground height afterwards.  For instance, if I want to restore a sloped ground after flattening it as described, I can't seem to.  Or, if I want to restore a sloped driveway after a vehicle exploded, which left a deformed hole, I can't.  And, damaging placed ground blocks, to say... 10/100 block health so they're reduced in height, isn't quite the solution I'm looking for.

3.)   Is it possible to 'edit' placed map markers?

~ Maybe I'm missing something, but after placing a permanent map marker, I don't see any way to edit the markers (edit the name or symbol). Even deleting map markers can sometimes be complicated, because if I place several unnamed map markers close together, each using the same symbol, differentiating the makers to delete a specific marker is possible, but complicated / a chore.

4.)   How does the trader restock day work?

~ The trader inventory 'seems' the same for several days, even though the restock day continues counting on.  It's unclear how frequent the trader's inventory actually restocks.

5.)   What's the max lootstage for the latest version (I have version 1.2)?

~ I've seen youtube videos suggesting 289 as the max lootstage, even though the player stats might surpass that, but those videos were for 7 days alpha.

6.)   What does chunk persistence really mean, and how does it work?

~ The description suggests "chunks" will "reset" over time.

So, does that 'exclude' everything in the claim block area and/or bedroll area?

What's a chunk?

And... what exactly gets reset? Everything? 

If I accidentally or intentionally destroyed something (like an ATM machine, or a wall of a POI point of interest), or place a storage chest, and it's outside of my land claim block area, eventually that will reset? 

Do I have to stay away from that "chunk" for awhile for that chunk to reset, or does travelling past that chunk frequently keep it from being reset?

In the new game settings, does Chunk Reset Time "Disabled" take precedence over Chunk Persistence "Short" ?

7.)   What does the Scavenger Armor Set Bonus: "Find better quality loot" mean now?

~ Does that just increase the loot stage by some value or percentage?  Or, in the old version of 7 Days, items like armor and weapons used to have different quality numbers, such as 25 .. or 127 etc., but now it's more refined, 1 through 6...  So, the "find better quality loot" would only increase the armor/weapon quality found?  Or does it do something different altogether?

8.)   The Rouge Hood gives a "Loot Bonus", what's that?

~ The terminology is a bit confusing/inconsistent, there's "Lootstage", "Loot Bonus", and "Find better quality loot" ... all the same thing? 

Thank you!

What's a chunk?

Box of game area think mine craft cube somethin like 20 boxes by 20 is a chunk. It was easier to onow in the 2016 version when a chunk of your base got reset from the MD error

And... what exactly gets reset? Everything? 

Yes destroyed cars eventually respawn holes you dug fill in if no claim block active sleeping bag near and you do walk within a certain distance. No idea of how long per setting from short I would assume a week and long a month but no real idea. I'm sure someone know facts and times but I'd dont

In the new game settings, does Chunk Reset Time "Disabled" take precedence over Chunk Persistence "Short" ?

I would think so but like above no idea

7.)   What does the Scavenger Armor Set Bonus: "Find better quality loot" mean now?

When looking at character screen you can click info tab and on bottom there is a loot stage number I think that is created by game stage, how long since you died last, what Biom you are in what tier level poi and equipment that boosts it

8.)   The Rouge Hood gives a "Loot Bonus", what's that?

Loot stage number increases, should give better stuff level 2 stone axe instead of 1

1.)   Is it somehow possible to move storage boxes after placement?

No you can move crafting stations, electrical things or defence turrets but not boxes like Raft let's you 

2.)   Is it possible to adjust the ground height/slopes?

No like you said lower durability moves it some bit no ho like Valhiem 

3.)   Is it possible to 'edit' placed map markers?

Nope just delete and re make, you can in return to moria but not this one

4.)   How does the trader restock day work?

Some traders say they restock daily but it's every three days. In the trade window kinda in between the buy and sell screens top middle it says what day stock changes 

5.)   What's the max lootstage for the latest version (I have version 1.2)?

I thought I heard 1248, I think I had higher than 289 when I was around day 70 at my harde base in waistland that was built in tier 5 poi. Unfortunately that save had my drone bug out and could not place a new one so I deleted it and can't check
