disappearing metals from boxes 09/17/2013 09:04 PM CDT


This is where I was told to post about this topic. When a nugget is found in a box, if you don't pick it up out of the box YOU'RE holding right away it will crumble or roll away..... Same messaging as mining. If I can store a metal in my backpack, I don't believe it should disappear out of a box within 2 minute of the box being opened, because infact it's in a container that it was stored in by the critter I killed to get the box. Here's part of a log showing I took the time to appraise the 3 nice gems that came in the same caddy as a nice large platinum nugget, but I was unable to pick the nugget up out of the caddy because it crumbled right after before I appraised the second sapphire.

They do this on the ground as well, and I'm pretty sure they crumble in less than 2 minutes.

Even failed 'get' command seems to forestall this, but it's annoying.

That there are metals in loot at all is even more annoying, personally.

Gridaksma told me that this was a known Bug introduced from the new crafting system. I told him that I'd quote him because I only vaguely remember hearing about this.

It was a bug, that was fixed, that I guess got unfixed at some point.
