I notice you still say there is no way to store things (no chests) in the game, although actually most things can be put down and picked up later, and blocks can be placed, then mined later. Which objects are non-storable? Mini-lights are one, as we discussed a while back: If you use a mini light, and later try to drill the block it is stuck on, you usually don't get the mini light back. Turrets are another.

But I know that in creative mode, the slugpistols, drills, devices, mechanism, magnet, gold bar, camera, etc. can all be dropped (inside your bunker for example) and picked up again after an arbitrary amount of time. Does this not work in explore/survival mode?
