Neither did I. Wish you had seen me and a friend steal flax from those Fulings. We tried so hard to do it without getting into a fight but we got about half of their stock before we got noticed, and only two of them at a time came after us, so we each took one on and eliminated them bit by bit, but man it was the most intense situation I had ever been in in any game. We couldn't relax, tense as a sheep's butt in Alabama. Sad ending though. Even though we survived the encounter and successfully stole all of their flax from their little camp, the game bugged out and kicked us, and when we rebooted the game we lost everything. Went back to the fuling camp, flax was gone. I haven't played the game since. Though, I will return when things get fixed.

if you crash or dc, you'll get a rollback to the last save point, you can use the console commands to force save after you got everything that you think it's hard to get and don't wanna lose it.
