1) Saving a table with a bunch of true/false values on whether or not a player owns an item. 2) If it's possible (I'm 99% sure it is), save the items themselves.

Neither, if a player has an item, save the items name as a string in a table then run a loop and load all the items the player has by checking with the string.

@spinywind Thank you, I'll be sure to use this method. But how do games like Miners Haven and Sandbox save everything about where and what your placed stuff is?

Maybe save tables with a string and a bool like {"Upgrade1, true}
