Picking up CAGED FARMER!!!
So I just figured out by mistake that you can put cages farmers in your inventory! Just like dismantling an object! I have watched several streams on youtube collecting them on their vehicle just like I was. Did anyone else know that you can just pick them up like that? I spent many hours carting these guys around on trailers and what not lol

Turns out this happens in the current build on a caged farmer that you have looted before. Uncertain if its intended or not.

Seriously? Didn't know that. Every YT video I've seen has people hitting them with a hammer in order to get them to the truck.

Though, I could understand that hitting them to get to the truck that is far away is reasonable. But once you get to the truck, you can just pick them up.

I've tried both right clicking and pressing E, please explain how to pick them up? Until I can do it myself, I refuse to believe this is anything other than trolling.

I know I was so amazed. All you gotta do is hold right mouse button and wala magic.

No troll I promise. just hold right mouse button on them. I was afraid to do it at first in fear of it deleting him.

Still not working for me. Just tried. Even captured video of me failing. Tried with sledgehammer slot and empty slot.
This guy used the /unlimited command to get himself those caged farmers into his inventory. It's even likely that he didn't know he was doing something that can't be done in survival. Probably because he put those farmers into a chest from the unlimited inventory and then picked them up afterwards.

Check out the screenshot in my profile. All I was holding was a metal block in the middle of building a cage for him.

@everyone not being able to pick them up only works whenever you go back to a prisoner that you have already collected once and respawned. The first time you collect one you still need to use a trailer or some device that could hold onto them while you drive. Im assuming that being able to pick them up is a bug and while probably be fixed in the future

yeah i think your right because i have done it like 3 times but not on some

It just happened to me but I tried again and it didn't work. My theory is that you can weld the ones that you have alredy rescued before. Maybe this happens to make it easy to help them again. You can put in your inventory these ones that you can weld but I think this is a bug.

Be able to weld the ones you have rescued before -> possibily a feature
Put them in your inventory -> almost certainly a bug

That is exactly what it is. One I just tried was one I never gotten before, went back to the first one I ever rolled and sure enough, I could pick him up.
