Idle game destroying my Idle gains? | IdleOn | Page 1

So in Idleon if you try to pick up a large stack of items that you don't have inventory space for the game will fill your inventory and DESTROY the rest of the stack that doesn't fit. This is terrible game design for an idle game. I just unlocked the ram pet so I am able to access my storage without leaving an area - meaning I should be able to farm a large amount of items and be able to send them all to my storage. However in order to do this I need to TURN OFF auto loot and pick up stacks of items ONE AT A TIME hoping nothing gets automatically destroyed. Holy crap game just leave the items on the ground that I don't have inventory space for. This is truly unfathomably bad game design

Yeah, no. The best part of an idle game should be collecting your idle rewards. If the collecting of idle rewards is tedious and annoying guess what people just aren't going to log in. How does it make sense to just destroy items when I'm trying to pick them up? Bad game design

I do understand where you are coming from, but upgrading carry cap is just another goal in the game. I had the same problem at the start but later on this wont be a problem when u upgrade cap/get ram pet

daring umbra I do understand where you are coming from, but upgrading carry cap is just anoth...

Every single game that has ever been created has figured out how to allow players to pick up items without them being deleted... except for idleon I guess? kind of pathetic imo

...thats what this thread is about. lets say your inventory is completely full except for one slot, and you pick up a stack of items that would fill two slots - the game will fill your last slot and effectively delete the rest of the items

#

Willing to bet players have lost ridiculous amounts of items because of this and didn't even know about it

daring umbra Mar 30, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

I just tested it and it dosent happen

#

i filled my inventory with random items locked them, used 1h candy and it didnt delete any items when i picked them up and didnt have the storage for them

#

except ofc 1 slot to pickup items

#

maybe u got a bug at somepoint or smth?

#

can post proof of it tomorrow

#

It is very reliable, this morning I had about 1800 sticks gained from my overnight idling - according to the stat screen you get, and when I looted all items it filled my bags completely with no items left on the ground I had about 900 sticks, and a bunch of potions and other junk

#

So if you've ever looted all the items off the ground with nothing leftover, and your bags completely filled you've been undoubtedly scammed by the game

#

the point isn't the amount, would it matter if it was a billion? or a trillion? it happens and it should be fixed

daring umbra Mar 30, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

if you can replicate it then yes it should be fixed asap

I think people may have missed it, but op has the ram pet. This isn’t someone just complaining about carry capacity

#

And 100% the game does delete items if you don’t have space for them. If you quickly swipe to pick them up and don’t have space for all of them they just get deleted

#

@trim fulcrum I don’t know what platform you play on, but I’m iOS and if I wait for everything to drop from idle rewards and carefully tap, I’m less likely to have that happen

#

it doenst delete things that you dont have space for it only does it when you use the chest ability but normally it doesnt

I think ur just bugged I never had this problem even with auto loot

#

I have auto loot on, can confirm not getting full afk gains if inventory does not have the space. Only level 50-70 with my 6 characters. If I leave them for 8-12 hours my afk gains exceed my inventory space and I loose out on whatever doesn’t fit if I quick swipe over all of the loot. Clicking items one by one seems to fix this.

#

Does this both on steam and iOS for me

trim fulcrum Mar 31, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

Alright as promised here are some sceenshots for proof of what's happening

#

I didn't actually manage to pick everything up here, so the red potions didn't all get deleted

#

#

#

So i picked up 13 stacks of 132 sticks for a total of 1716 sticks, however you can see from the afk gains that there should be 3255 sticks in total

#

So the game deleted about 1700, or 50% of the sticks that I should have gotten

#

How many millions/trillions/billions/cazilllions of items has the game automatically deleted without people noticing? Probably an absolute ton

arctic wharf Mar 31, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

Yea u glitched or sum cuz I just did the same thing and I got all

trim fulcrum Mar 31, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

Worth noting that this is on ios, I'll check later on steam

#

Aaaaand just back, and I can confirm that this same exact thing does in fact happen on steam as well

#

I'm not even going to bother posting screenshots or anything, because this should be extremely easy for absolutely anybody to test

#

tbh do with this information as you want idleon community, I will not be posting or playing anymore as I don't really want to play a game that hasn't even figured out how to allow players to properly pick up items.

I dont have auto loot
I have had instances when i got x amount of items but when i picked them up i only picked up a fraction
I always thought i was trippin

#

I swear I've had this happen myself as well and unfortunately the only solution is to slowly pick up your afk gains to not lose out on stuff EmojiSuperSad

#

Idle games shouldn't be come back in a year and be rich with all the loot. If you're struggling with picking up all the loot, increase carry cap, increase stack size, check the game more frequently.

#

It's really not hard to manage

#

There has to be a cut off point

#

You are also neglecting your character, as those stack sizes are tiny!! At this point I had close to 500/1000 stack size.

#

Also, the rudeness from OP is quite silly - this is a minor inconvenience that can be resolved with some updated bits.

candid scaffold Apr 6, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

So you read the thread but missed they aren’t complaining about not being able to hold everything?

#

They have the ram. They don’t care about stack size and having to leave items behind

Im surprised at how peoples could defend a bug that delete sometime half, sometime more of afk recources tbh

No point in talking about carry cap or whatever, it happen and shouldnt. Its a problemayic bug and should be fixed. It happen almost all the time you get full inventory from afk too. If you always look at how much u gain vs what afk screen say you will notice how constently it happen

Ig it happen every time you come back from afk and, oh lucky i had the exact same capacity than what i dropped on the ground!

cunning cypress Apr 7, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

It deletes like a bit of the last stack, that is true. But I've picked up like 100m frog legs before, having to fill my inventory multiple times. You dont really farm many mats through afk means anyways. You just hop onto your ES if you really need mats quickly.
