The Coalesce feature kicks in when a group of objects get returned at the same time. Before a group of objects are returned, they are stuffed into a one or more objects, then placed back into your inventory.

Scenario

A resident is renting land from a landlord and has the following objects on their rented land:
  • House
  • Kitchen sink
  • Table
  • Chair
  • Object
Later this Resident decides to move and ask their Landlord to return all objects owned by them. The Landlord complies and returns all objects to the Resident.

The Resident checks their inventory and the objects are missing! Or are they?

The Coalesce feature kicked in. When these objects were returned, they were stuffed into one or more objects, then placed back into the Resident's inventory.

These coalesced objects will inherit the name of one of the objects that they contain. In this case the object could be named house, kitchen sink, chair, fork or object.

How to find missing objects

  • Click the Inventory button.
  • Inside of the Inventory window, go to Sort and select By Name.
  • Now go to Sort and select By Date (This makes sure the inventory is sorted by date).
  • Locate and open your Lost And Found folder.
  • Take the first object in your Lost And Found folder, drag it out. A public sandbox may be a good place to do this.
  • From top to bottom, work through the list of objects located in the Lost And Found folder until the missing objects are found.

Demonstration



There are several objects on a parcel of land owned by myself. These objects are: cabin, bed, rug, lamp and kart.


In About Land, I click Return objects to return all objects owned by myself.


Where did my cabin, bed, rug, land and kart go?! Are they missing?


First I sort my inventory by date.

Then I open the Lost And Found folder. I start from the top of the list and take objects out of my inventory.

I would never have guessed, but Kart 1.0 actually contained cabin, bed, rug, land and kart!
