Item drop/pick up

[midnight]

From the latest release notes:

Added system framework of item drop/pick up

I don't understand what that means. Can anyone explain?

You can drop without using storage. So you can drop in air / ground, rather than just storage boxes or it getting lost. Similarly for picking up.

Main benefit is that when removing items (scuh as conveyor belts), these are not lost if inventory is full.

If I had to guess, it is for deconstructing things with a full inventory.
Right now the refunded materials get destroyed if there is no space in your inventory.

How do you pick things up from the ground?

[matke587]

To pick up items on the ground press and hold Z and a little hover box appears, left clicking picks up iirc.

To delete an item. Pick it up, so its on the cursor then press Shift+Del

Speaking of which, does anybody know what they mean by this?

"Added a function that now you can press and hold [SHIFT]+[DELETE] to delete the holding items directly."

I'm sure you can already press delete and whatever you're holding gets deleted. What does holding down shift do now?

They have changed it in the last patch.

Now if you press [Del] like we use to, it will drop the item on the ground, rather than permanently remove it from game. So [Shift] allows the [Del] to do what it use to in the first place!

The changes where made to stop accidental deletion of items! Like the new "Are you sure" pop up for towers, storage and fluid containers. Gawd knows how many times I deleted one of those by mistake, and lost everything.

Yes - keys to drop item from inventory - Apparently it's click-stack from inventory then shift-left-click-delete & it works, but surely needs to be in-game advice...
