Thread: Losing components...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to them. Tonight, I was crafting a Tumble Blender for use in one of the recyclers, and a crafting bug hit where even though I had put the resources in the slots, it wasn't registering them properly. So I hit back to unload everything, and my agitator motor disappears. Turns out that when everything unloaded, I hit the item limit in my inventory (the 60/60 limit, not the complete upper limit of 62/60). Therefore, the agitator motor was chosen to be deleted somehow. I didn't see the system message at the time, so I created a ticket for it. I decided to try again while waiting, but then thought I shouldn't try... and this time I lost a copper battery when I was unloading stuff. This time I saw the message, and so I scrolled up and saw the previous system message saying it was deleted, and then I deleted my ticket.

So what's the moral of the above rambling? *Never* craft where you can go over the item limit if you unload items, like if you store your resources in a backpack you wear.

Unfortunate this happened to you.. Sounds like a "Lesson Learned" though. The item may not have shown up in you crafting input because your main inventory was too full. Were you pulling the component from a backpack? Ive noticed that you have to have enough space in main inventory to get things to work properly. Dont think Id call it a bug though, more of a requirement.

The same might happen pulling resources from a backpack, though I don't know if that's a problem with that schematic. Pull a resource from your backpack, cancel and you're going to end up with enough of the resource for a single combine in main inventory.

Really, since they instituted the encumbrance I think you should be able to hold unlimited items while standing stil...I think only one day that I actually got my character "encumbered" and couldn't move. Since then I haven't been able to breach the 60 item limit.
