Pick up behavior of ground storage is unintuitive #1282

Open JustForVS opened 3 years ago

JustForVS commented 3 years ago

Game Version: 1.15.5
Platform: Windows
Modded: Yes (zoombutton, VSprospectorInfo, HUD clock, automap)

Description

When placing a bowl or a crucible on the ground you need to klick the correct quadrant to pick it up instead just clicking at the item. So you can't pick up the item or pick up a wrong one when aiming too low.

How to reproduce

  1. Make a crucible.
  2. Place it at the back of a ground block.
  3. Try to pick it up by clicking at the side of the crucible. Try the same with a bowl in front of the crucible.

Expected behavior

Clicking anywhere at an item to pick it up.

Maybe a thin, black border around the aimed quadrant like used for shelfs would already help.

I was about to submit a bug report until I found this issue and realized this is what I was experiencing. I was aiming directly at the item I wanted to pick up, but in reality I was aiming at the quadrant in front of it. This picture is an example: image I'm unable to pick up the cookpot when aiming at this cursor position. I have to move my cursor further up to the back brim of the cookpot to access the proper quadrant.
