some afk loot missing

[Raidyx]

anyone else has the problem that some of the afk loot is missing? my mage was afk lumbering for 15 hours, in the afk window it said that i farmed 50k+ Tropilogs, when i picked all my loot up und put it in the storage via my quickref it was only like 20-30k Tropilogs in total. This happened multiple times with all kinds of afk loot already. anyone else expirienced something like that?

Guessing your inventory was full after picking all things up? Because in that case, the loot got lost when picking things up. The game doesn't count towards your carry capacity, it just picks up everything and puts it in inventory until space is up. The game basically shoots items into your inventory super fast but it doesn't stop shooting stuff into your inventory even if it's full, so the surplus gets lost.

The best way to side step this issue (aside from increasing carry cap), just pick up the many items (like monster parts or skill drops like lumber/ore/etc), or the other ones (rare drops, potions, food and whatnot that doesn't come in near countless numbers), after another. Since you said you put them in storage in quick ref I guess you have the dedotated ram companion. Because if that is not the case and you would be using the talent that puts stuff in the storage, it would erase everything else that still lies on the floor. That used to be the only way to get things out of your pockets before the companions, it makes kinda sense to a degree that a good bonus is having a downside. But at some point it's just irrelevant.

yea, i'm using the dedotated ram. i have to empty my inventory like 4-6 times while picking up the afk loot. so you say the game just pickes more loot up than my inventory can handle and this way i'm loosing ressources everytime

Yes. It's not a perfect system but it's how it works until Lava finds a way to improve and avoid this. At least, this only happens to the items with many units. Single items like equipment etc do not get lost as far as I remember. And losing items that come in that many units is not as bad as it looks. I know early on it feels like it etc, but you will get much more of the things the further you get. It will get MUCH easier.

yea, well at least now i know why it happenes, thanks mate ;)

I think it's somewhat tied to your max inv capacity.
These days I often farm exactly my max carry cap of logs and there's nothing left afterwords. At least no logs left to pick up.
I do think there may be a bug in the code somewhere but I'm not sure.

The disappearing items is related to having a partial stack of the item in your inventory when you try to pick up a stack that exceeds your carrying capacity.

Example using OPs numbers: When you come back from AFK to 50k+ Tropilogs, it drops two stacks of 25k+ Tropilogs. I don't know the capacity of your log stacks, so I'll just use 10k for this example. Let's say that you have three inventory spaces available. When you pick up the first stack of 25k+ Tropilogs, you have two spaces of 10k Tropilogs and another space of 5k+ Tropilogs. If you pick up the second 25k+ Tropilogs stack, it will fill the 5k+ stack up to 10k and delete the rest. If you get rid of that 5k+ stack (drop it or quick ref stash it) so you don't have a partial stack before trying to pick up the second 25k+ stack, then you will fill that empty third space with 10k Tropilogs and the remaining 15k+ Tropilogs on the ground will stay there and not get deleted.

I don't know why, but the deleted items all comes down to having a partial stack in your inventory when you try to pick up more than you can carry. The fact that AFK drops are split into two stacks when they drop just increases the chance the first stack will give you a partial stack when you try picking up the second stack.

If you know that there is more than you can carry, you just need to be careful to make sure you don't have a partial stack if you want to prevent the game from deleting the extra items you can't carry.
