I'll add a generic "don't unload" blacklist setting for non-weapon items when i have some free time

Maybe on the weekend

I don’t know their exact classification in the code, but in the game’s storage tab they are categorized as “ritual artifacts.”

If its a drug-type item you can add it to the pawn's drug policy, otherwise the unload driver is basically a vanilla copy with an addition to not unload weapons.

If not, i'll need to see what that mod does to keep the stuff in to see if its feasible to add compatibility

What item is it on the mod?

Do I have a way to set certain items so that caravans won’t automatically drop them? These items are special items from the MoeLotl mod and are not recognized as weapons. In the original MoeLotl mod, they were not supposed to be dropped automatically, but it seems to conflict with this mod, causing them to be dropped every time.

Some other mod must be equipping them with weapons / preventing unload of weapons.
This mod shouldn't equip items automatically, or force a pawn to hold an item in their inventory.

Can you confirm this behaviour with only PocketSand on a new save?

Hi
Mod is pretty cool but my pawns tend to wear a lot of weapons at the same time (my melee dude has 6 different melee weapons in his inventory). Is there a way to fix that? To reduce to three maximum melee weapons in their inventory? Of your choice?
Thanks

i just wish this changed to melee automatically when enemies got into melee range

That's a problem with textures in general, the transparent parts of PNG textures are usually saved "transparent white" to compress better, that white bleeds into the icon when the texture is drawn scaled

nothing much can you can do about it

I noticed that when the UI zoom is set to 1.5, white edges appear next to the weapon icons. I'm not sure if this is an issue.

Who REALLY needs sand though? https://youtube.com/shorts/eNmzwTdrqGs?si=YZbXZ4pIrx52mhoz (Thanks for this!)

I'll have to take a look, not sure if they're not considered pawns, or don't have an internal inventory, or something else entirely.

(Also: love this mod! Been using it in every playthrough since I stumbled across it back in version 1.4)

How difficult would it be to expose this gizmo on drafted mechs (I.e., the Arquebusier series of mechs from Dead Man's Switch, and or the human-like mechs from Dead Man's Switch: Synthetic) ?

i playing on version =1.5
when i trade on would map it adds the inventory
weapons to trade list even vanilla ones not just modded
can you please fix or add were they do not add inventory weapons
to list please and thanks

where is my sand

@Reisen that worked for me, thanks!

@Reisen,

Thank you so much for all the fixes! :D

@M1128
Try unsubscribing and subscribing again, it should've been fixed earlier today.

If it still happens, i'll need a log (and maybe save file)

Unload freeze with odyssey passenger shuttle

Lightweighter

Bless 🙏

Yeah, baby, now we back in business. Best multiple weapon solution in the workshop. TY!

Small update again, to make custom unload behavior respect keep drugs / stock policy just like vanilla.

Update should've fixed caravan freezing issues.

@Jyanwoods
That's intended behaviour (with vanilla, CE has its own caravan unload jobdriver that supercedes pocket sand)
PocketSand doesn't keep track of what was picked up, only shows a gizmo for weapons in the pawn inner inventory
So when a caravan returns, and the option to prevent weapon unloading is active, weapons that end up in pawn inventory from the caravan stay in the pawn.

Rolled back the shuttle changes while i work around the issue

same bug (unload freeze) here, maybe recent change cause this problem.

Thank you for creating such a great mod. While using the mod, I had some questions and looked through the comments to find answers. In doing so, I came to realize how difficult it must be to create and maintain a mod. I'm sorry to add to your burden, but I have one question.

While using this mod, I noticed that when I destroy an enemy camp and return to base with the enemies' weapons, my pawns keep the enemy weapons in their inventory, even if I didn’t assign them to equip those weapons. To resolve this, I tried disabling the related caravan option in the settings, but doing so makes them drop everything—including the weapons I did assign to them—except what they are currently using. Is this behavior normal when using this mod?

I have the same bug @R4nD0mI3z

Hi, I have encountered freezing pawns when they returned from caravan and tried to unload inventory. The item they were supposed to unload was weapon, but instead they froze in place.
This is something new (as in not occuring yesterday on multiple caravan trips) and possibly caused by newest update.
Small headsup that log is flooded with GiddyUp errors related to carrying babies (already reported on mod page) - sorry for that, I do not have cleaner one :(

Please see logs line 5276:

Let me know if this should be reported somewhere else (like adaptive storage framework, though this mod did not update since 14.07)

After the update, the pawns freeze after leaving the shuttle.The newly added shuttle inventory option cannot be turned off, and the pawns will put weapons in their inventory instead of in the shuttle anyway.

Eh.

Added a separate option to outright disable Odyssey shuttles from taking the passenger inventories (enabled by default).

If checked, pawns will exit the shuttles just like they entered it. Like it should've been in the first place.

I have a fix for Vanilla.

Waiting for a reply on Combat Extended's end, cause it'll still gobble up ammunition if CE is loaded. And idk how they'll be patching it.

@Author,
Whenever pawns pilot/go onto a Odyssey's shuttles, they leave all their additional weapons on the Shuttle when leaving. As if they were part of the shuttle cargo.

Okay, I've just got this bug wihout PC being enabled first time. So it's not its issue, confirmed. Sorry for pinging you on this matter.

You can just try shoot the wall - if it starts shooting then it is working if it gets reset and just *can't* shoot it then you got it

I can share a save where this happened to me, however as I said reloading sometimes fixing the problem, so it might not show the issue. I think on this save reloading wasn't helping. In this save Moinkag refused to use its rifle to shoot.

If it won't reproduce maybe try to play the save for a couple of days or switch between weapon systems/pawns.

If you can upload the save that triggers the issue, i can take a look at it if i can reproduce it on my PC.

I've had a problem with using Pocked Sand with CE (I don't have other mods except for a very minor ones like Better Workbench etc). The problem is that when the pawn is given an order to fire it will reset itself then next tick. I have a video of that if you're interested. I had it several times, IIRC every time it was the same single pawn, I also have a save where it happened. Sometimes reopening the game would resolve this, sometimes it would not. After disabling Pocket Sand I haven't seen this issue in days, so I assume it is either a PS problem or its incompatibility with the dev branch of the CE (I'm on dev branch because it's the only one supporting 1.6 atm). Either way I think it is worth having you informed about it, so here I am.

P.S. Thank you for the mod

@Reisen I was able to narrow it down to "Show Me Your Hands" which isn't updated yet

If you can find what was causing it on a reproducible manner, do post here so i can see if its something i can do on my end, or if its only fixable on the other side

#reisen Im going to call this a mod conflict. I removed a very large number of mods and the issue went away. I honestly couldn't tell you which one caused it.

I can't seem to reproduce that, does it happen with Pocket sand alone? or what's the minimal mod load order that can get it to happen

I too am having the disappearing pawn issue when switching weapons

The debug log is empty no red errors

Idk how this happened but everytime i switch to a weapon the UI of that pawn would just disappear and i would get fps lag when clicking on them the only way to fix it was save and reload

One of the best and most practical mods ever!!! Thanks so much!!!!

Inshallah

I've uploaded a build compiled with the latest 1.6 codebase, it should work as i didn't see any changes that affected me on the 1.6 modder primer, but mind you i haven't tested it personally, since i haven't updated my game to unstable.

Yex, it will be done, but it's not on stable branch still, and i don't play on the unstable branch myself.

1.6 pretty please???
