Issue Description: Vehicles should not despawn when around radios.
Players put supplies in vehicles and put a radio around it to have more respawn possibilities but the game sees the vehicle as unused "trash" and despawns it.
1- Place a radio around a vehicle with supplies.
2- Run away, wait some time, check the radio on the map and the extra supplies from the vehicle will be gone because the vehicle despawns.
I understand the game needs to collect the unused "trash" around the map, but this should not happen.
It's on a timer. I made a post about this as well early this year when they switched radios to supply. It should take longer to despawn with supply in it but it still will go after a while. How much supply = time and at what thresholds will that change the remaining time (if at all) are questions i would want to know. I have not timed how long it takes, maybe a dev has given that timeframe but i am not sure. I do know that interacting with the vehicle should reset the timer. What the game defines as interaction is a third question. Does that mean starting the car? opening a door? moving gear/supply in and out?
What i do currently is leave a door open and get in and out, or move supply from the car to the radio after spawning on it. Respawning eats supply from the radio first before the attached source, which is important to keep in mind. If you have to ditch the car and keep the radio, double check that it has supply before leaving.
