Wow, that would suck. Picking up items every time I ran over a belt?

Are you sure it's not a mod thing ? you don't auto-pickup in vanilla, there is a key associated with picking up.

If you are playing Angels/Bobs I think there is a startup option to disable the biter drops. I'm not aware of an option to disable picking up.

alien goo is only thing, that gets picked up, and results of mining (either you mine ore, rock or cut tree) are also transferred into inventory.

you can always use bots to pickup remains of bitters.

LuaEntity.to_be_looted is a per-entity property. So there can't be any generic "on/off" switch.
If you're lucky it might be enough to set a large enough negative loot distance bonus, but i have no clue if negatives are allowed there.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character_loot_pickup_distance_bonus = -10000
