I have two wal mods in a factory crate and whenever I try to get them out the count going down to one the springs back to two and does not give the the item.

Anyone know how to get around this.

BTW. I have had this issue once before and re-logging fixed it. But now its not.

You don't have to relog or anything. Just wait. The next time the server saves (time will vary) you will be able to get them out.

Crossing a server boundary frees them up. Run into town, check it, run back home, check it.


Should be able to get them out.

This happens all the time unfortunately. My only solution is to drop the crate in my house and pick it back up. Sometimes I'm even forced to leave the area for a while or log out. Usually within about 10-15 minutes I can extract the crate :/


Now I just need to figure out how to pickup those two crates of walls I dropped on top of each other in the house :/ can't pick either up now.

As mentioned, crossing a server boundary is the best way, probably because it forces a server save. Start at your house and run to the nearest town, constantly trying to pull the item from the crate. When you succeed, you probably know how far you have to run every time you get this bug.

And you'll get it a lot.

Alternatively, idle for about 30minutes and it should be fine.


I was in the middle of crafting a PA house, but the walls wouldn't come out of the crate, so I just sat there in the crafting screen for 30minutes, retried taking the walls out, they finally did, and I proceeded happily.



I didnt' even critical fail!

yeah this is pretty typical. It has to do with the hard saves the server makes as someonje mentioned above. I have tried many things to get this to hurry itslef up such as transfering it to my vendor and removing it, putting it in a container and removing it, etc. Nothing seems to work effectiovely except crossing server boundaries or taking a shuttle. If you want not to worry about it craft the walls inf actory before anything else, hopefully by the time you are done crafting the remaining components the walls will be ready to pop out

Target one of the crates and type:


/move forward 4


or


/move back 4


Then you can pick it up.
