Catching item from the void _ Space Age

[Fonsdet]

Hi There !

I'm trying some stuff on factorio space age. My spaceship is a big "hourglass". I would like to throw item crafted from top of my ship, in the void, and catch them with arms at the botom of my ship. Can we do this ?

No. Items you throw away cannot be caught again.

As soon as you throw the item into space, it ceases to be an item object and turns into a sprite - slowly fading out of existence. There is no way to catch that item as it no longer exists. It would require some modding. Your idea is very creative!

You're welcome!

You can suggest your ideas to the developers here: viewforum.php?f=6
I cannot speak for the developers, but i highly doubt your idea is something they would bother adding.

But, you can make a suggestion for a mod here: viewforum.php?f=33
