Too heavy items!!!

[Garbage]

Ok, I just mannage to drop a large constructor on the ground in my base. Now the problem, it weights 600 and we can only pickup 500...
Rebalance that so we can pickup stuff we drop. We must be able to place our items atleast...

Use the logistics menu.

Logistics menu only work on containers...

Connect to a container so the toolbar goes orange, go pick up.

Yes, this is why containers use so much power. They have Tractor Beams built in.

pretty trash game mechanic

I just did the same thing. Built one and then dropped it. Can't place it without picking it up. Can't pick it up because it's too heavy. I'm not sure what "use the logistics menu" is supposed to mean.

It's not really explained in the survival game (it is in the dedicated tutorial I believe) so you're not the only one with that question.

To spell it out:

F4 and pick a container big enough for what you want to grab.
Click the top button in the middle, a Wifi symbol of a few concentric arcs.
The toolbar and container turn goose turd gold in color indicating you are connected.
You can pick up big things to the now high capacity tool bar.
T will toggle between the logistic toolbar and the normal one, which puts stuff directly into the container you connected.

It works, but does require a container in range.

If might be a nice QoL change to balk at picking up things that you would immediately drop, eliminating the panic logistics dance - or just losing the stuff if you can't access a container in time. I often run into this dance when collecting oxygen and water from a condenser that has run a while - so even half the product is more than I can carry. I'd love to be able to cut down the target load instead of turning to logistics.

So in all these years they haven't improved the interface and usability and things are still obtuse enough to where people struggle to place and move objects? That hints at a failure in game design. Get rid of the janky stuff when it comes to doing simple things, and make it intuitive.

[The Big Brzezinski]

In all these years people still won't do tutorials or follow instruction. That hints at a failure in curiosity and willingness to learn. Get rid of your preconceptions, learn how the game actually works.

In all these years the people who come here and ask or complain about the logistics do not bother to read the Top Pinned Thread of this very forum.

They come here for answers and it is right there! I have not looked but bet there is something in the PDA Empyriopedia as well.
Then we have the issue of people getting angry at the devs and yet the W/V can be turned off in the settings.

My complaint is that you cannot use the logistics feature with your drone.... but i guess that would make building things too easy right??

You can use it though cant you? Unless i am misunderstanding your statement.

Open up the container/logistics menu (F4). Connect by clicking wifi button. Screen will turn gold and your toolbar will turn gold. Then move items from container to gold toolbar such as as 30 concrete blocks.

Now hit F5 to start up your drone and then hit T. It will change the toolbar to the gold one where the concrete blocks were. Now you can fly your drone around and place concrete blocks directly from container.

I thought this was the standard way to do it?

[The Big Brzezinski]

The logistics system works just fine with drones. It even works with vessels.

They really need to make logistic's part of a non skipable tutorial. So many people have been having trouble with it lately. Most of us have been using it for years so it seems simple, especially to those of us who were around before weights and volume. It seems to be the biggest complaint that I see now that the motorbike is toast.
