Mod item disappears after leaving server

[AfrostLord]

I added a custom mod item, but when I save and exit the server, and then re-enter it, the item disappears. The item's prefab is copied from singleplayer don't starve, so I assume there's something save-related that I need to add. Anyone know what is causing this?

As always: We can't fully help without seeing code, we can only offer suggestions as to what the problem could be. Does the item have the pristine stuff added to it? Is the item dropping on save & quit from being marked as an irreplacable item? I can't help with too much off the top of my head, I'm at work here so have none of my own code to look at to see what it could be either

There must be a inst.persists = false somewhere.

Also, are you testing in a dedicated server?

If you do a c_spawn and don't press Ctrl to make "REMOTE:" appear, you will spawn the sword, but only client side.

So when the server restarts, or you exit and reenter, it won't be there.
