So....how do you drop an item in your inventory?

[The Hedgehog]

Looked through the manual and saw nothing. Seriously, am I blind? Im carriying a huge sledge hammer that I want to drop on the ground to free up some weight, but I can't do it. Is it possible?

I guess the only ting you can do is put it into a container of some sort in the loot exchange screen. Sorta awkward, but I suppose it has something to do with engine and how items arent littered on the ground.

Well if you're trying to drop something to free weight, you in all likelyhood are trying to pick up something else from a container. So put the sledge hammer into that container. By clicking on items you want to transfer (so there's a checkmark) and hitting the double arrow button. Or you can just drag and drop if thats easier.

There's not really a way to just drop something without using another container (or player). But there's no reason to do that either. If you're back at the shelter, put everything you dont want to carry into storage. Once you get a recycler built, everything becomes useful. Especially huge sledge hammers.

You can't drop items directly, you have to leave them behind in a different container.

Not at all if you think about it. The only reason you need to drop things in this game is to make room to pick up something else. There is no penalties for carrying alot other than not being able to carry something else. Which means you're already on a screen you can do that at.

The only place you ever want to just dump something when you arent trying to make room for something else is your shelter storage. Because items dumped there you can recycle (once you build the upgrade)
