How do I pick up parts?

[garyp156]

I love this game, it's relaxing.

So we got this new shredder. I've seen all these parts around crash sites. How do I pick them up? I get no option to do so?

What am I missing.

Dig them out, then you can grab them.

[garyp156]

Did that, and they fell like normal but I got no option to grab them. Maybe something in this latest patch? I haven't played in a few days. real life crept in. XD

You may need to move closer to that part

same problem for me

problem solve with a new game

the state of picking up is probly saved in the save game file. I think is why we need to start a new game.

As far as I can tell there's only some parts you can pick up and pop in the shredder, but you do have to dig them free first.

Also the size of an item dicates which shredder to use, so if you can pick something up but it won't go in the shredder, try the other size.

I keep hearing that the drill should destroy the other stuff, but I've yet to test how that works myself or see it working in a stream. I hope the drill works though, all the wreckage makes my world feel untidy.

0.9 will bug sometimes and stop allowing you to interact with stuff.
Yesterday I could suddenly not use items in my backpack.
A quick exit to menu and loading back in solved that.

Had a buggy chassis that highlighted as scrap, but couldn't be interacted with, picked up etc. So maybe some items aren't fully working atm.

Yep, you mean the wrecked buggy, I think it´s "mislabeled" or work in the next patch.

Somethings can be picked up and attached to slots so you can transport them to the Shredders
Otherwise whack a Winch on your Rova, tow the junk to your shredder then move it by hand into the shredder

The rover cannot be shreded, I moved it with a winch and tried and tried to scrap it out, no luck. I just wish they provided for a method of moving scrap parts to the shredder other than manually carrying them there. I would rather just harvest soil and process that, must faster and you get huge quantities of whatever you need quickly.

We need to be able to build/print a hopper of some kind to place on a rover. We also need the ability to blow up items and get various items that can be shredded. They already have variouis debris they just need to have the crashed vessel fanish and replace it with misc items of debris. That would even make harvested explosives valuable.

You can mount a shredder on the rover, so you can shred "on the fly" !

[regularguy84]

you can pick up small parts by holding them mid air the pressing the use key then your character will pick up the item

[firewolf]

Wait, you can dig? I get a large modified shotgun to become robo Kirby and succ the dirt into my gun

[phadin]

What is the point of shredding stuff anyway? I mean, the scrap that comes out is useless for anything as far as I can tell. I remember when I tried playing a year ago there was some exo trader rocket that would take them, but now that things not working.

I'm sure this has been done to death and I'm 4.3 lightyears late to the party, but I'm so going to slap a shredder on my tractor and larger rovers next time I play.
