Hey is there a reason Auto collect isn't working?

[SecretSensei]

Hey it was working before the update, is anyone else having this issue or is it just me. That will be a real pain it I have to X everything especially when things pail up.

Well they added a feature to prevent picking stuff up when you will end up overweight. Seems like that botched it. So expect a patch to fix it coming up.

It still works for me, just sometimes have to walk a little closer to items

Ya, sometimes works for me. It has obviously been messed up a bit from what it was though.

LOL right on. yes it works about 85% of the time now after restart. I'm sure they will notice the mishap lol.

Are you saying if it doesn't work. Then restart the game and then maybe it will?

There is a new option under Common section to prevent picking up stuff that is too heavy. I tried turning that on, but still the same problem where sometimes auto gather works, sometimes it doesn't.

I also removed all my mods (although left in the vortex add-ins that enables mods). Still doesn't work.

Is anyone that has no mods at all in single player seeing this problem?

I'm running totally vanilla, and I'm having this problem.

With 80% of my inventory weight free, there are logs of wood and things around my base that I cannot pick up unless I manually look at them and hit F.
I can't tell why it's certain things and not others. Seems like it picks up about 60-70% of any items on the ground just fine, and others it absolutely will not.

Im running some Mods and dont have this problem. never had it. everything works fine.

Cool. My game only started to do this after the recent update was installed. Never seen this problem before. I wonder why some and not others?

[Amduskas]

It's a new problem for me. I never had it before this latest update.

Ok so for now it seems that anything on the ground while the game is booting up is having the issue where It doesn't auto collect. new items dropped after the game starts seem to pick up ok.

Ah, that makes sense or it could be just how intermittent this works.

I've added a few pals to my base that are really good at transporting stuff, so that is my current solution. I simply don't pick this stuff on the ground myself. Seems to work fine when I'm on a mount away from the base, so not a big problem.

Did you have a mod or something? I've not found that any pals are trapped in the pal box.

Noticing this problem.
