cant drop/place fridge

[DeLaRocha]

okay, so i get this fridge from this market so i can store more food, but once i get the two pieces i cant drop them or place them. also, it's a large fridge. they both weigh 40 pounds each, the two pieces, also.

Drop one on ground, have one in your main inventory. Then use the place furniture tool.

[DeLaRocha]

dude... cant drop.

[WillieSea]

You have to face a direction where the ground is not already maxed out with stuff. If you cannot drop one part on empty ground, then you probably have a mod confict issue.

Of course, if you said which named fridge it was, a lot of us could try it as well, to see if it is indeed a bug.

[DeLaRocha]

alright. oh, and by the way, the name of it is Large Fridge (1/2) and Large Fridge (2/2)

[WillieSea]

I drove all over, even went to the appliance store at the Mall, and could not find a 'Large Fridge'.
I found about everything else, but not that.

[DeLaRocha]

strange..

It wasn't a non-stick fridge, was it?

I think this one is the double-door found in a lot of gas stations/convenience stores. It's just two regular fridge/freezers stuck together space-wise. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's actually easier to just grab two regular fridges and no less space efficient. Those wall units in grocery and produce stores might have more fridge space but no freezer space.

I think right-clicking one piece in inventory with the other piece nearby and selecting "place" worked for me when placing those fridges.

How do you try to drop the refrigerator pieces?

• If you try to literally drag a furniture piece 1 of 2 on the ground (the gameplay window, like the ground your characters avatar stands on) it will try to place the item and will not drop it. With furniture pieces literally dropping the item in the gameplay window will try to place it at that location.
  
  
• If you drag the furniture piece 1 of 2 into the "proximity inventory window" on top of the floor icon, that kinda looks like a table cloth, the furniture piece 1 of 2 will be placed on the ground directly under your character. Each piece must be either in your main inventory or on the ground within a proximity of like a tile or two to be able to place.

Dragging the piece to the tablecloth looking ground icon effectively does what EnigmaGrey recommends with the transfer all button but with one item.

The little inventory windows act like like a file manger (like Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer, but the drag and drop files to copy or like how most people transfer pictures to an SD card or thumb drive). Each icon on the right side of the player inventory and proximity inventory window is like a folder; think of your backpack as a folder. If you want to move an item to a folder without opening the folder drop it right on top of the folder.

Might be a nice feature to have the moveables get a right click context menu of "drop on the ground"

Do not pick up any pieces of a picnic bench. You cannot build it. Nor can you drop it from your invintory. The only way to get rid of it is placing it in a container.

How to Drop Moveable Furniture Pieces

I right-click on the item in my inventory and select 'drop'. It drops that one item, if there is room on the ground.
There seems to be a bug, at least for me, when I try to drag items from one inventory window to another. Sometimes it works, but most times it does not and I have to repeat it several times before it will move.

drop one of the pieces onto the floor tile and keep the second in your main inventory and you should be able to place

[Pherdnut]

Note: Dropping is not placing. And yes, the drag/drop can be a little buggy. Holding over where you want to drop for a second seems to help but I prefer right-clicking and dropping when I want to drop stuff on the floor or loot all/transfer all for containers. A not-bug reason dropping might not work is that there's already 10+ (kilos?) worth of stuff on the ground and you're trying to drop a 40 in the same space (max is 50).

Hyper-explicit step by step version since there's been some confusion.

With two pieces too large too hold at once:

1. Pick one piece up. Walk it to within a tile of where you want to place. Right-click the piece and drop. (rinse/repeat with 2 more pieces if it's a 4-piece object)

2. Pick the last piece up and walk to where the other piece is.

3. Right-click the piece in inventory and place or select place (down-arrow symbol) from the placement menu in the upper left (the furniture icon).

There are also 4-piece beds that can be moved this way. Usually some pieces break when you try to move if carpentry isn't high, but you can mix/match pieces from 4-piece beds of the same type as long as you have all 1-4/4 (i.e. 4 "1/4" pieces wouldn't work).

* Generators are weird. Never drag/drop to a car seat (no way to remove it). Car trunks are okay if they have 40+ space but I think you have to drag to the ground from the trunk before you can right-click and "take generator" to move them again. Unequip generators to place them.

[WillieSea]

3. You can also use the 'Place Furniture' toolbar to rebuild the 'parts' into an object. As long as all pieces but 1 piece are on the ground, this will work. And I can adjust the direction of placement doing it this way, before it is placed.
