While I like this game, the most irritating thing so far is when items just appear to "disappear".

I was rebuilding my conveyor system so had a lot of pieces just "sitting around" when I had to run from the plot to town to get a pickaxe because the one I had disappeared.

When I got back, several other items were just "gone", easily about c2000 worth of items. I had done nothing more than leave the plot and come back.

From experience, I know I will likely find them if I go digging, but how long it takes to do that and find the items...might as well just rebuy.

I propose that each plot have a "recovery area" and a button you can press. When pressing the button it will pull any items that are not "placed" (or locked in place by hammer) to be restored into the recovery area.

This would help to find lost items, quickly clear a plot if your wanting to build something new, and maybe cut down on the lag issue due to not having to have duplicates of many items that have disappeared.

EDIT: Is there anyway to decrease the chance of disappearing items?
