Summary
Override for default garbage collection behavior in Arma Reforger to extend the lifetime of world objects before automatic cleanup.
Official Workshop description
This mod replaces the base game's garbage collection system with a custom implementation that delays the cleanup of dynamic world entities such as dropped Items, Dead Bodies, and Vehicles. By increasing the time these objects persist in the world, it allows for more immersive and loot-friendly gameplay without significantly impacting performance.
Primarily intended for developers and server admins who need finer control over item despawn timing in persistent or loot-heavy environments.
Characters – 40 mins (If a player is within 10 meters, it won't despawn)
Items – 30 mins
Vehicles – 50 mins (If a player is within 35 meters, it won't despawn)
