Issue is it’s clear you are not supposed to do that if your corse can be found with all your stuff on it.[/quote]
No it’s so you can start a new survivor in the same world where you left off.
What you want to do is just backup your save every once in a while, and when you die you just reload the backup and start over from there. It’s essentially a save feature if you want to use it that way. It’s in the launcher and can just be done with a couple clicks of a button, with optional key presses for naming the save something other than the default, if you so wish.
Or what seems to be the most common, and has already been suggested, is just hit alt+f4 when you die and you’ll reload at the last auto save(autosave must be on, you can also hit Esc+7 to auto save at any time, with the default keybinding).
It is a single player game so you define what cheating is. I personally like starting a new character, so I don’t mind starting over, but obviously some people don’t and I’ve learned of these methods above from other threads like this. It seems a few people do this, because I don;t use the above methods, but have learned them from browsing here and reddit.
