Hi for this i am unsure if this is intended or not.

All items on the ground are manual pickup, except some stone on the map, that you automaticly pick up if you walk or drive over it.

how to reproduce.

1. Find a rock on the map.
2. shoot the rock.
3. walk over all stone.
4. All stone is automaticly picked up.

now place manual a stone on the ground, and walk over it, it won't get picked up.


Now it may seem handy to always pick up the stone, but i would rather have a setting in options for it. To enable/disable this. Or make it in line with the rest of the items in game.

Tnx

Hello, this is intended behaviour. The player doesn't pickup things on ground automatically, as it would interfere with the factory, the only exception is loot. Which are things that come from killed entities. It worked like this for alien artifacts when these still existed, and also for the stone, or any other loot that would be defined in a mod.
