I have tried to increase and decrease a few settings, but nothing seems to work. Can someone tell what i need to change to decrease the despawn time of items i drop in singleplayer?

You would have to adjust "Despawn_Dropped_Time", in the config setting.
You can find out more via https://unturned.fandom.com/wiki/Gameplay_Config

Singleplayer-wise you can adjust these settings prior to entering the world.

Yeah, i tried that. I lowered it to like 0.050 that didn't work and i rose it to like 1500.000 and that didn't work either. Could it be that i have to be on a certain difficulty?

Yea, if you set that timing on the "easy" mode portion, it will only be reflected when you are playing on "easy" mode. You would have to change the value at the other two difficulties as well if you want to see it there.

EDIT: not sure if game reads 0.050 since it goes by seconds apparently.

Thanks guys. I'll try this when my game does not decide to crash randomly
