how delete items from inventory?

[Sniffles]

do I really have to build a fluid storage tank to get ride of 16 water crowding my inventory? Really? So far I have found no way to simply dump items except build a building that holds them, fill inventory so nothing can enter, then delete building, is this for real is this the only way to 'dump' an item? FFS WTF?

pick up the item with your mouse, click the DEL button, that will get rid of it.

never mind, found the delete key mentioned in a thread. could this game have some instructions? any at all? sheeesh

not liking this game, just found the 'single item stuck on belt entering wrong building cannot be removed, carefully delete the conveyor section, dont take out the whole building, hope nothing is blocking view' issue. this game does not seem like the devs actually play it and care about it like a gamer, its pretty and dysfunctional like visual designers and coders were assigned a project to make a digital product similar to others, not a work of actual game developer.

thanks for the reply, only thing saving this game at all is other players explaining basic stuff

you can grab stuff off the belts by clicking on them to open the interface of what's on it, same goes for sorters.

Issue is that it it can be very difficult to actually select the belt section inside where the blocking item is on some buildings that are fed by belts. It is usually much faster to just delete a tile of belt one away, chain delete the bit of belt into the building then relay the belt.

Eh, I found it the opposite. It's incredibly streamlined to play, and the game rarely gets in the way of what you're trying to do. If anything the devs have clearly played a lot of similar games and have a good idea of how to make building stuff fun.

Although I agree that deleting things can be precarious. Note though that the thing you're about to delete highlights red, so don't click too hastily and take a moment to double check what you're about to get rid of.

did you mean: Real Gamer?

scnr.

dude its an early access game in its infancy phase, if you cant deal with some teething trouble, come back in a year or two. devs are pretty active, theres a patch a week, and they actually seem to listen to the community. things take time ...

I'm sorry but if you had any ideas how long it would take to code a game like this or factorio...only devs that likes what they do could do this. On factorio just an update patch log looks like an advanced class of Mathematics.

They care about their game. Stop saying stupid crap.

... evidently, your problem is noticing and/or paying attention to instruction, not a lack of instruction.

I have worked in the industry, along side many people that never ever go home and boot up a game, been in the office and at the workstation and in the meetings at a game company it was interesting and not all non gamers are bad at making games, but they need one or two in the building...

[Sniffles]

oh yes this game has such great instruction, but then you will argue in another thread how early access means it doesn't need it. whatever lol heard all the cliche knee jerk insults from fan boys and paid trolls.

[yes]

:grabspopcorn:

such a tease ... i can only imagine the temptation :poursmoreoil:

[umop-apisdn]

I find it interesting (and somewhat refreshing) that this game watches the player do things that don't do the expected thing, and responds by helpfully telling you what will achieve the desired result.

As another example, hold right-click on otherwise empty space, and swing the mouse around... the game responds by telling you to use mouse3 to rotate the camera.

It's a feature I haven't seen in other games, and it took quite a bit of foresight and empathy to come up with the concept... Or maybe just one jerk in a meeting saying "And how are they supposed to know that? You programmers think you're so smug and smart."

Yeah, I've deleted entire buildings instead of sorters numerous times. I mean, technically it worked... the sorter is gone...

It may not have great instructions I suppose but I would wager the majority of people would at least try picking up the item and pressing del before posting on here... the game seems to be reasonably intuitive if you use your head.
