Command to pick up all items on floor

[NosajDraw]

I did a stupid thing, and now there are thousands upon thousand of items on the floor all over my base.

I need a command to pick them all up, or if needs be, a command to despawn them.

Anyone can help me with this?

Use the Deconstruction Planner. Marking a ground item for deconstruction will cause construction bots to collect them. If neccesary, first blueprint whatever buildings are there and rebuild them afterward.

But might it not be easier to just load an autosave?

not that far into the game.

Although, yeah, autosave, perhaps, hadn't thought about that, and been in game for a while looking for a solution, will check to see if one goes back far enough.

Then how did you get thousands of items? Your player inventory can only hold a few hundred... Suppose the easiest way then is to hold the ground pickup (default "F") and run around to vacuum up the items.

I left it too long, items on the floor in all 3 auto saves.

Using Angels mod Warehouse, broke it thinking it was empty, boom 38000 items on the floor.

Code: Select all

for _, entity in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{type="item-entity", name="item-on-ground"}) do
    game.player.insert(entity.stack)
    entity.destroy()
end
