 It is common practice to arrange large amounts of items in rows on the ground outside a tent. The tent has only one container which has limited space, and some tent owners prefer to keep the container free of clutter. Dropping items on the ground also provides a quick way of visualizing which items have been collected.
 Items dropped outside the tent will never disappear unless the tent is deleted due to lack of activity as mentioned above (no players visit it for four weeks), or replaced (the tent's owner builds a new tent).

-The small fire pit at any standard tent can be upgraded to a [[Campfire]] by using 3 [[Wood]] on the fire pit, which changes it into a work place where you can make metal parts from iron ore, and gunpowder from minerals. This is very handy for players who work in a nearby mine, since these materials can be processed in safety at the tent and their weight gets largely reduced. This feature is useful as it provides an easy refinery otherwise found only at a [[Workbench]].
