Not possible to pickup lantern

[Edw4rd]

It would be helpful if you could pickup lanterns. I always have to destroy them if i missplaced em.

You can pick them up now. You just need a hammer in your hand and hold e on it.

LOL, why do we need a hammer. Very realistic. Thanks for the info!

rust has one of the most terribly designed UIs and controls. that's why lol
pales in comparison to 7 days to die and heck, even ark is more user friendly.

@max2veg, actually it is very authentic, not in this specific case but it is justified on many others, e.g. you also need tools in real life if you install or remove something, e.g. an auto turret. You wouldn't be able to install a auto turret without tools in real life neither. Of course the fact that you can't pick up lanterns is stupid. But maybe they are screwed into the ground?
I hope they replace the hammer with more realistic tools in the future, and provide multiple tools, e.g. you should need a screwdriver and other stuff to install turret while you need a hammer to upgrade walls etc.

its easier to add it to the hammer and code it in then to recode it

i know how to use IRL tools, i have many and have done that. but we're talking about a "camping" lantern here, it clearly shows it as such. sure, it could be screwed to an object, such as mine is on top of a storage box... yet, nobody IRL would do that and so there's a disconnect between common sense logic and rust's game mechanics. not everything has to be super realistic, but that level of abstraction alienates one's (and adult's at least) logic.

@t.tv/ wrong way up
that sentence of you did not make any sense to me. "its easier to add" is already grammatically incorrect, i'd say; "...and code it in then to recode it" seems also to have a grammatical error in it, unless a comparative method was not used in the sentence structure, in that case i just don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Thats why I said "not in this specific case"
