I attempted to change the “survivor utility belt” item from a torso item to the legs. Upon reloading my current save, the item in my inventory still says it covers the torso.

How do I make that update, or do I need to create another item? I assumed that the item properties for each item are loaded from the json and applied to the save, but is that wrong?

It’s probably still saved to your torso, yeah–old gear needs code in the save-handler to change, generally.

If you’re rewriting items, that’s an acceptable use case for the debug menu. Bind it and call it up, then look up the belt and see.
