A customer of mine have reported that putting an architect crafting station in a droids storage will prevent you from ever taking that crafting station out again. Could someone confirm this for me as I'm not at home.


Thanks.

I have had this happen but not consistantly therefor it is a bit hard to confirm , a work around I found before was dragging and dropping to my inventory then dropping into house from inventory.

The customer is reporting that they cannot get the crafting station out of the droids inventory at all.

That would be really really annoying.

The only thing I can think of, if it is not a droid-specific bug, is this one time when I had really, really bad lag, and was unable to manipulate my inventory properly at all. I was trying to do a secure trade with someone, and I just could NOT get the click/drag to 'take'.

I don't know why it should be that one particular kind of item would not be removable from the droid, although I must say the next thing that pops into my head is: HOW does one of those giant things even FIT into a droid (or my backpack for that matter)?

My imediate thoughts would be does the droid have a structure crafting station built into it also that might for some reason make the game code think the one invintory is the same and can't be removed?

As a side note, there's a work-around for this particular problem. I can't remember the order, but when you cannot get click-drag to work use both mouse buttons. I think you left-click-hold and then simultaneously right-click-hold, then drag. Works every time, at least for me.


The problem can be reduced by turning off inventory icon rotation. But the above method is a sure-fire way to get around it, at least for me.

If I remember correctly, the droid in question has all 4 crafting stations built into it.

I think hitting ctrl-alt-delete a lot of times always helps in getting rid of problems for me

You might want them to make sure that the item in question really is an item and not a schematic.I think my report on this one got buried, but you can currently place Factory Schematics into Item Storage modules. I'll bet ya a shiny new credit that its a Factory of a Crafting Station Schematic in question.

"I was transporting some things the other day in a droid storage compartment...well not thinking i threw some crafting stations in there. They still appear in the storage compartment, but I can no longer get an option to pick them up. Is this expected droid behavior? (they were stations that the droid did not previously have - but 2 are weapon stations)"


I forgot which droid it was... LOL... but that's the message I received. As I mentioned, I'm not in-game and won't be for a while so I can't test this out myself.

Double clicking, would always take things out of my droid's storage and put it in my inventory. I try not to drag because of the lag.

I've given the customer a link to this thread and they appreciate all your suggestions. I'll let you know (or maybe they will) what happens in the end... if any of them work.

I've had this reported to me concerning a Food Station...



  • R5 with max storage

  • Clothing Crafting Station


but, she was able to take it out after a relog.
