Items do despawn after a while if you drop them in the wilderness, but the obliterator converts some fraction of them into coal.

Took me forever to figure out how to repair tools. I have a bunch of discarded tools laying around, now. Any way to get rid of them?

Also, can I specify what tool I want repaired? I don't seem to have that ability. I just have to spam the repair button until it repairs the one I want. Does repairing consume resources?

Thanks in advance.

TBH best way to get rid of bunch of stuff which you don't need, is by using console.
Command removedrops is your best friend.

Walking to the end of your doc and tossing in the ocean like Odin intended also works just fine.

yeap , spam the repair button until all its fixed

and to get rid of trash you dont want , just drop it far away of a workbench or in the sea

Thanks! I'm assuming repairing doesn't consume resources, then. Good to know! I'll be repairing a lot more often.

You can destroy stuff by making the new "Obliterator". It costs 8x iron, 4x copper and a thunder stone which can be purchased from the vendor.

Regarding repairs, no you can't select what you're repairing, but it also doesn't cost any resources, so spam that button to your heart's content.

Edit: You could also just throw all of the stuff you don't want into the ocean or a pit, but it'll always be there... taunting you... ;)
