Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

[16.16] Pick-Up (F), picks up at weird location (Bug?)

Post by Ormek »

Picking up an item from the ground (or a belt to be more precise) does not remove the item from the cursor location, but from somewhere else.
In the video https://youtu.be/HTddWLn8JOw the pickup happens either at the feed of the figure or at the end of the queue on the belt. It does not happen at the location I point to with my mouse. I do not know if this is a bug or a feature, so I post it as a question first.

The pickup always happens from directly around your characters feet. I'm pretty sure that is working as intended.

I believe a recent update added the ability to 'mine' targeted items on the ground.

So I can only pick up where I can walk? Hmmm.

There is another way to pick up specific items - try right mouse button. I don't think that that works on belts, though - just items on the ground.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
