Player weapon/ammo/armor slots inaccessible in a vehicle

Post by sparr »

This would only be a minor annoyance if not for the fact that crafted ammo prefers to go into your ammo slots if it's a match. So here I am, driving my tank, crafting ammo that I want to put in the tank, and it's disappearing. I can't retrieve it without getting out of the tank :(

Also, I can't get to my armor to disable my personal roboport while I'm driving.

I wouldn't say it's a bug, but a feature not implemented.
Maybe move/post this into game suggestions instead. :)

Well, even if the interface problem is a missing feature, the crafted ammo disappearing strikes me as a bug. It should go to your inventory if you can't get to the ammo slots, I think.

Thanks for the report,

MAybe ammo shouldn't go to an inaccessible slot

Well the ammo is going to the 'correct slot' even though you can't see the slot, so really it isnt a bug

The original bug report was about the slots being inaccessible. That ammo goes there just exacerbates the problem.

Another aspect of the problem is that I can't access my armor to disable my personal roboport while I'm driving.
