Well, as I've said. I never had this happen to me. Destroyed boats? Yes, every once in a while. Missing stuff? Never. I also get 100% resources back from almost everything (except spikes, still don't understand the logic behind that).

Edit: You don't need devcommands in single player. I never lost an armor. I died often, but never lost anything. Your tombstone can't sink. You can just boat there and pick yourself up.

The spikes are dealing damage so they are consumed like arrows when they contact enemies.
