Several bugs / issues

[root.s]

Hello guys!
I've played for a while now and encountered some issues along the way.

1. I've started playing yesterday (without any prior playing the game / demo) and had a 10 hour session in one go. After ~5 hours the messages on the right side showing what you've picked up didn't appear anymore until I restarted the game.
2. I died once at one of the "roadblocks" in a toilet. When I returned to my corpse, I was able to pick up most of my loot, but my grappling gun was gone. Most likely it fell through the floor or glitched into a wall. The icon on the radar stayed visible until I left the roadblock.
3. Items occasionally sink a bit to deep into the floor which makes it hard or sometimes impossible to pick them up. This happens mostly for weapon parts dropped by enemies. It also doesn't help that enemies laying on top of their dropped loot need to be pushed aside to be able to loot at all (or wait for them to despawn)
4. Loot disappears when you leave it on the floor too long. I mostly noticed this for ammo crates loot.
5. Researched technologies should have a hint in their description where it tells the player where to use it. While some things are obvious others leave it up to you to run to all your crafting stations and depot console to figure out where to use / build it.
For example: I'm on phase 19 in the research now and I didn't figure out yet, how to use the Train Armor, where to find Acid (I've been through a depot already after unlocking it and I still didn't find a single one. Given, that it works the same as with zink), if the Boiler Upgrades are applied automatically or if I need to rebuild the boiler / upgrade it manually and what I need a winch upgrade for. It certainly didn't increase the range of my grappling hook, so it must be something else.
6. While I like the game overall, I hate the current fighting mechanics against the solders. You can't see them most of the time unless they're standing right in front of you (black armor on black background in an overall dark area), they should you through 2x2 pixel windows halfway across the island / depot and they hit almost every shot. On top of that you barely have any cover on your train for the roadblocks. I mostly use my steam engine for that. And often you can't shoot them because some invisible wall is blocking your shots (for example railings, some rocks and such) despite having a clear line of sight.
7. It is not clear what do you with the hundreds of weapon parts you collect. I know that you can upgrade your weapons with them. But besides that? Should I store in boxes because they are becoming relevant later on? Or can I recycle them? I can use anything else I loot in the game for something or convert it to something usable.
8. What is the point of the builder box in the deport? Just a temporary storage so your loot doesn't despawn? A trashcan?
9. My rofleemo is unhappy because I have no decoration. But the only decoration I can build is the wooden floor.
10. When one of the exploding "flower pods" pushes you back, the pushback isn't canceled if you hit the train. This sometimes causes awkward walking backward sounds / animation.
11. The grappling gun sometimes doesn't fire, only at the second or third mouseclick.
12. The grappling gun crosshair isn't accurately showing the real distance you can grip objects. You can grap objects from a bit further than it's showing you via the crossair indicator
For 11 + 12: https://imgur.com/a/wr08bdO In the long pause between fires (right before I shoot above the wood piece) I'm pressing my left mouse button several times and the grappling hook doesn't fire.

13. Round mines occasionally get stuck to the sides of your train. This usually happens if you defuse them before they stick to the train.

14. If your inventory is full and you try to retrieve items from the gatherers station, it does not give you any message / hint. You just don't get the items. https://imgur.com/a/Hea3wxN

15. I'm standing in front of my rofleemo in the gatherers station. It shows "F to pickup" but I instead keep punching - even without a weapon equipped. https://imgur.com/a/O8xOr6m

16. When trying to save my game, I often move over to the right side in a straight line. As the menu is slightly tilted to the left, I find myself often hitting the edge of "SESSION" and therefore changing the menu to SESSION. Since I even need to click "SAVE", it should "lock" the menu for at least 1-2 seconds so I can move the mouse cursor over without hitting SESSION. Also, the holding the mouse to save should only be happening for overwriting saves, not for new saves in empty slots. Holding down the mouse is unnecessary and counter-intuitive here IMHO.

17. The damage on your buildings / stations is occasionally not shown as a number. Most times it happens on the steam engine: https://imgur.com/a/WyvvPbC

18. Exploding flower pods will do their pushback even through solid objects: https://imgur.com/a/MthgDNV

19. Found a magic radio in the depot: https://imgur.com/a/czxyNp8

20. Aiming down drops the rofleemo egg instead of putting it into the machine: https://imgur.com/a/9uCz6so

21. Grappling an ice or coal lump occasionally places it into your hands instead of the inventory slot

Thank you for the detailed feedback! It partially coincides with our backlog for hotfixes and I will add to it the new issues that I found in your list.
