Couldn't pick up a smash & grab chest -- too many actions on toolbar?

Post by Alketi »

Just happened tonight. v1.4

I had a Specialist with 15 abilities on her action bar (i.e. full action bar and 1 action on the overflow). She had gotten Run & Gun from a tower hack that was still on the bar as well. When she moved into a chest tile she didn't have any option to pick up the chest.

Mods loaded (that added actions to the toolbar):
- Overwatch All
- Quick End Turn

I used up the Run & Gun, but that still didn't give her the option to pick up the chest. I also tried the TTC console command to move back and forth but that didn't resolve the issue either.

Finally I moved another soldier into the tiles and that soldier was able to pick up the resource cache, as were all others.

So, my suspicion is that there was an action bar conflict that prevented the "pick up" action from appearing.

[Unfortunately no save game this time]

You should be able to switch to a second row of ability icons with so many available.

Each soldier can only pick up ONE chest per mission. My guess is that your soldier had already grabbed one chest.

This soldier hadn't yet picked up a chest and yes I used the arrow to switch to the second row of icons. There was no option to open the chest on either row. I'll provide a save game if it happens again.

I suspect a conflict with one or more of the following:
- Quick End Turn
- Overwatch All
- The fact this soldier had just been granted Run & Gun from a tower hack (eating up an additional icon spot)
- The fact this soldier had more than 14 icons active
