[1.1.37] Spidertron is removed from quickbar when placed on the ground

Post by astral17 »

If the spidertron contains something in equipment grid, it is removed from the quickbar when trying to put it on the ground.
if thrown or placed in a chest, it remains in the quickbar.

Thanks for the report. This is working as intended. The quickbar slot references the item that is the spidertron and when it's placed back in the world the item no longer exists and so the quickbar slot is cleared.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

At a guess, it's because cars or tanks in inventory are interchangeable whereas each Spidertron is a unique entity, due to the equipment grid, logistics, etc.

So a car or tank in the quickbar represents any car or tank, whereas a spidertron in the quickbar represents only that specific spidertron.
