I may have brought it to your attention already, i don't remember for sure, So it may have been fixed already, I haven't tried exploiting it so i wouldn't know :P

Placing out owned items, (cars, grubs, turrets, miners, etc.) using the in-game steam menu to change your name, and disconnecting, will copy all items you left out, and put them in your inventory. Upon rejoining, the items you left out will still be there until you pick them up.

Idk if I explained it well enough, so here is a hypothetical scenario:
i put out a jeep while my name is "Lord Rahl"
I change name in the steam menu to "LordRahl1234"
The jeep is still owned by "Lord Rahl"
I disconnect under the name of "LordRahl1234"
When i Rejoin: I have one jeep in My inventory, But there is still a jeep on the map, owned by "Lord Rahl"
By changing my name Back to "Lord Rahl" I can pick up the jeep.
I now have an extra jeep.

This glitch is a really unfair way to cheat your way into wealth, and i think it should be fixed as soon as possible: Maybe using steam id for ownership would work? idk much about coding and stuff so Idk. XD

This issue has allready been reported several times. Allready fixed in the next patch. Items will no longer depend on the owner's name, but thier UID.
