[0.12.99.9] Items stacking in the same place

[gloomy laurel]

~11hours game time.

-I have used orders to set several uninstalled items to haul.

Set mode to auto
Character drags items into haul zones on the ship.
Items are stacked inside each other and overlapping in a way that isn't manually possible.
At one point 4 items - He3, D2O, IC Reactor and Nav Station - all intersect

-Items can be picked up and moved, but cannot be placed overlapping each other, seems to reset how the stacking works.

-There is plenty of space on the ship for these items to go

Priority seems to be in nearest zone.

-There is not 1 large zone, but several zones set barter and haul to cover areas of the ship. Potentially this is on the border area between these zones.

Haul zone should not specify any items, but should be set to "all" items.
There are other zones near by that have been set to scrap only.

-Ship has been recently expanded, BUT zones have not been changed.

Save below should match closely to the time screenshot is taken.

After scrapping a little more toon is focusing on depositing things in this one place, this is on a zone border

Thanks for the report, and the save! I'll log this now.

@rancid frigate @gloomy laurel , Some more information for you. This is possible to do manually if you use nr1 on keyboard to pick it up, then you move manually ontop of an item inside your ship and then you click 1 again to "drop" it will then just drop it anywhere ontop of where you are and i just tried with overlapping a nav station ontop of a reactor by 66% (2/3rds overlapping) and then placing a pump and a injector ontop of that too.

Wanted to talk about my experience with this bug. This is extremely exploitable. In practice you can get an infinite amount of storage space for containers or ship components by only using a 3x3 area, making the need for a cargo bay irrelevant. This allows someone with a very small ship or storage area to successfully completely strip a ship of any size without needing to consider space restrictions or needing to make multiple trips. To use this bug all that is needed is for you to pick up the item, drag it into position, and drop the item using the 'drop' command. It will always allow you to drop the item, regardless of whether the space the item is currently occupying is already occupied or not.
