Is it normal I can't force selected the option anymore in B42, as it was possible in B41? Can't right click on the world map anymore

For lazy basebuilders like me this mod is the best QOL mod out there.

hotkey not work, mod also

Suggestion: Have a hybrid mode in between Force Selected. Basically an option that will work just like Force Selected but if you do want to click on an individual container it will allow it instead of just locking it in place. Then when you leave the container / proximity area it'll be on force selected again.

love this mod thank you !

This is probably the best mod out there. Thank you!

Any chances of getting this mod play nice with the inventory tetris search functionality?

to add to jacks pretty thorough guide you need to set the zombie only mode by selecting it at the start of the game via sandbox mode, or use debug mode to activate it. if you use debug more to activate it you need to restart the game, or maybe just reload the save to get it to apply.

To anyone currently having issues with getting this to work.
-You need to go into the options menu.
-Go to the mods tab.
-Scroll down to the "Proximity Inventory" section.
-Make sure the "Enable "Proximity Inventory" box is checked
-Once that is done, at the bottom are three buttons, "Back, Accept, Apply."
-You "NEED" to click the ""APPLY" button, if you don't, "NOTHING" will happen.
-Now exit the options menu and return back to the game.
-Finally press the number "1" key on the number pad "NOT" the number 1 that sits above the "Q" on your keyboard, it might take a second to activate but open the loot inventory and give it a moment and whatever you do, "DON'T" go bashing the button multiple times, that will turn it off.

I have tested this myself and it does work if you follow the instructions as listed. If you keep having trouble try unsubscribing and resubscribing and try following these instructions again.

It doesn't work......B42.11

It's not broken, for some reason it's disabled by default! Under options > Mods tab, find Proximity Inventory and enable it. For some reason Numpad 1 is also a toggle for on/off.
Hwang Aug 18 @ 9:54am 
Please update this. It doesn't work. I can't even pick up items.
Aug 18 @ 7:22am

Toadmstr Aug 17 @ 12:39am 
I think this is probably the best of all mods. It boasts tremendous convenience. Thank you developer

Hey Mxswat.
We figured it out, major senior moment lol.
Thanks for the reply though much appreciated :steamthumbsup:
Mxswat The Helldriver  [author] Aug 11 @ 3:31am 
@saskiie double check if the IDs are correct and the config files are correct. If that does not work add me on steam or discord and I'll see if I can help when I got some free time
Bigorados Jul 28 @ 12:30pm 
Is there a way to add this to the player tab? as in a tab that shows all your items regardless of being in a bag or key ring or whatever.
saskiie Jul 19 @ 1:50pm 
added this to a nitrado server, workshop ID and MOD ID, when i load up i do not see the little world icon where id select the prox inventory, do i need to enable it in game?
Mxswat The Helldriver  [author] Jul 19 @ 1:17pm 
@jrioy as far as I'm aware we can't
jrioy Jul 14 @ 11:49pm 
we hope to have a regulable ranges with proximity inventory
The Myrmidon King Jul 4 @ 8:39pm 
can't figure out how to enable this for server. I see it in server options, only option is zombie only check box. no options in settings for keybinds to toggle it in game. and no button in inventory menus.
ElZavier Jul 1 @ 7:43am 
You can force select in B42 but you have to use hotkeys (you can set the hotkey at mod option menu), please fix the right click feature to toggle force select on and off, thank you!
merc Jun 28 @ 11:45pm 
pleasee add force select for build 42 please
Primedew Jun 23 @ 6:02am 
found a bug/game play issue...... locked containers using padlocks are easily accesible with this mod....it's like accessing a password protected windows pc with a linux live boot usb......or like having a big gate but no wall in sight
WispSoulfragment Jun 21 @ 4:11pm 
No force select...
Not available for for build 42.9 :steamsad:
Varlun Jun 20 @ 7:41am 
Also, I'm getting a flickering effect. Where it shows the weight in the top right of the box. "Proximity Inv 0/65", the "0/65" part is flickering. Anyone else getting this or know a fix?
Varlun Jun 20 @ 7:38am 
Is there a way to set a hotkey for toggling force selected in B41? I know I can do it in B42.
FourLights Jun 20 @ 2:19am 
@璐璐宝贝 Just to let you know - I was having this problem, additionally including kills with melee weapons. I saw your comment and removed the mod, but it didn't fix the problem. What fixed it for me was disabling the ragdoll system; this mod has continued to work fine after that. Now, I don't know if ragdoll is also conflicting with another mod I have running, so I don't think this is necessarily a total solution to the problem, but it's worked so far.
璐璐宝贝 Jun 13 @ 10:54pm 
Here's a polished translation with slight adjustments for clarity and natural flow:

"Use this mod with caution as it conflicts with the ragdoll system. When shooting zombies, their bodies cannot be searched and no loot drops. Only melee attacks yield loot. After hours of troubleshooting, disabling this mod resolved the issue."
doomhaver Jun 11 @ 11:27pm 
This likely isnt a full fix but move everything in "workshop\content\108600\2847184718\mods\ProximityInventory\common" to "workshop\content\108600\2847184718\mods\ProximityInventory\42"
Afaik b42 is not supposed to have any files in the common folder dunno why or why it changed.
This has fixed a fair bit of the issues with me though, taking cigs out of packs for example and I was getting a ridiculous amount of lag driving around due to this mod and doing that also fixed that
Steve10393 Jun 11 @ 2:09pm 
b42.9.0 - your mod is breaking taking cigarettes out of packs, refilling propane torches from propane tanks, things like that...
tuxostile Jun 9 @ 2:38am 
It doesn't work, right? But it was today, 9/6/2025, and yesterday it was working for me.
DonPatan Jun 8 @ 12:56pm 
Doesn't work currently in my B42
Dr.Redfox Jun 7 @ 4:00am 
Make sure it's enabled in the mod options menu and that a hotkey is assigned. Mine wasn't working after the update. Works fine now.
ok Jun 6 @ 1:37am 
does anyone know how to make it so it doesnt default to looting the floor? like say i kill a zombie and run over it then hover over the inventory, in vanilla it would show that zombie first because its closest ykno but for some reason with this mod it shows the proximity looting first and i have to switch over.
Quenn Jun 3 @ 3:33am 
Same as some other users, the mod currently does not work for me in B42. I had installed it yesterday and during my play-time, that same day, it stopped functioning.
[CF] Y-Kisaragi Jun 1 @ 5:54pm 
Need an update to 42.8.1 patch. Doesn't work currently.
Magrobott Jun 1 @ 7:39am 
The mod is no longer working, do you know what happened?
Edda May 31 @ 10:00pm 
The mod works great. Just a suggestion: could you add an option to the mod menu to increase or decrease the proximity range? Thanks!
DEATH May 31 @ 7:34pm 
The mod right now in my server (Multiplayer) works to an extend i can see all the surrounding object and bodies ect but there is no global invteroy to see it all?
Bluewave101 May 31 @ 5:07pm 
not stay on inv ;p
RollinStoned May 24 @ 9:27am 
Ayy thank you. I was tripping bc my trunk was always too full somehow lmao
[vg]ananas May 24 @ 8:58am

If trunk is damaged it will lose capacity more and more. Try to repare it.
RollinStoned May 24 @ 8:42am 
The mod works as intended despite people claiming otherwise, id like to ask if its possible though that the mod is causing my vehicle's trunk inventory capacity to fluctuate? Ive noticed on 3 diff play-through's that its happening & cant figure out why. Not getting any error's either 0.o
