Pick up items on ground

Post by nuhll »

Hi,
just a small thing i notcied.

If 1 piece of e.g. wood is layin on ground, you cant right or left click to pick up, i guess that would make sense.

If its more, i use deconstruct planer or F, but lets say the one item is laying next to a belt, and you dont want to pick the items on the belt also up, would be cool if that could be added.

Thanks!

This is already a thing.
Just look at controls in option and you will find it.
If you want to change it to left/right click you can also do that in the options menu.
If you need more help, please ask the moderators, or look it up on youtube.
Gonna start playing again with 0.16 build.
That's all.

I quite like the way it is implemented now. You press Z to drop items and F to pick up items. I see no reason to change it.

The only thing that may be worth changing are the tutorials, so that such things are explained to the player. As far as I know, this is not explained in the tutorial, but this may have changed.

Like i already stated in my first post. I know i can click F, but th is gets ALL items. I just want specific items.

Why? there could be servival reasons, you have no spac ein inventar and just want 1 thing on the ground instead of 191923 iron plates.

Or, u dont want to pick up all items on a belt, bc one wood is layin next to it.

I dont say change F, just add right or left click to items layin on ground.

I was thinking the same thing! Something like Shift+F to pick up only the item under the cursor would be very handy sometimes. Especially when dealing with belts, as you said. (And hey the devs want to encourage belt use, right? :D)

Dont make it so complicated. If you right click on e.g. belt, u also pick it up, so it would make sense that right click on items layain on ground picks them up...

I like it. It won't have a lot of use cases but the use cases where you want it it solves and it doesn't add any additional complexity for anyone to understand (same mechanic as mining anything else in the game).
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
