 ## Starting backpack contents
 
-Open **Items → Starting backpack** in the admin menu. Select a loaded mod, choose **Show items**, browse its catalog pages, choose an item and save its total quantity. Saving the same item again replaces its quantity; zero or **Remove item** removes it. Weapons, matching magazines and medical supplies can be selected explicitly. The saved-content dropdown lists every selected item and its quantity.
+Open **Items → Starting backpack** in the admin menu. Select a loaded mod, choose **Show items**, browse its catalog pages, choose an item, quantity and destination (**Inside backpack** or **On ground beside backpack**), then choose **Save quantity**. Saving the same item and destination again replaces that quantity; zero removes it from that destination. The same item can have separate backpack and ground quantities. **Remove item** removes the selected saved entry. Weapons, matching magazines and medical supplies can be selected explicitly. The saved-content dropdown lists every selected item, quantity and destination.
 
 Select **Custom loadout** to use that list for the next prison or crash start. The shared field map is always included. **Default loadout** restores the existing pistol and magazine count settings without erasing your custom list. Existing backpacks are never refilled or changed by these edits. Enemy item permissions and probability weights do not change this explicit starting loadout.
 
-The list permits up to 32 different items, 48 of one item and 64 total items, plus the map. The physical backpack still has limited capacity: unavailable items and items that cannot be inserted are omitted and logged. Add matching magazines explicitly; selecting a weapon does not automatically add spare ammunition. Settings persist in the `startBackpack` section of `Escapists.json`. Older configurations keep the default loadout.
+The list permits up to 32 item/destination entries, 48 per entry and 64 total items across both destinations, plus the map. Ground items bypass inventory insertion and remain available nearby for pickup. Items that do not fit inside the backpack also stay nearby instead of blocking startup or being deleted. Unavailable custom items are skipped and logged. Add matching magazines explicitly; selecting a weapon does not automatically add spare ammunition. Settings persist in the `startBackpack` section of `Escapists.json`. Existing version 1 loadouts remain valid and their items keep the backpack destination. Saving writes version 2 records as `prefab|quantity|backpack` or `prefab|quantity|ground`; the enclosing configuration version does not change.
