Retrieving lost tools?

[spark cargo]

I just went back to my old save now that the beta is closed. Updated my save, went to the blacksmith, was given upgraded tools? Is this just a me thing or has this happened to others? I can't get rid of the old tools. 😭

Same thing happened to me. I wasn't able to get rid of the other tools so I put them into a little used misc. storage bin until a solution became available.

same thing happened to me in the beta. was v odd. also annoying that you can't get rid of it. not sure what the point of this feature is ??

This is what I did, made a trash one and sat it aside. I'm not complaining about upgraded tools, but not having the old ones anymore sounds great lol

After I did the same I can no longer upgrade my tools. Have all gold apart from watering can is bronze but now when I try to upgrade to silver it’s saying I don’t have the bronze can in my pocket when I do 😭

Oh see that’s totally weird because I think it let me upgrade my watering can immediately afterward (that’s why I went to the blacksmith in the first place)

That’s why I had gone to the blacksmith too to upgrade the can then got given all these extra tools so I put them in storage, went back and Raf was like nope can do it’s like my watering can is invisible yet I can still use it fine and it was definitely the og one as had water in it. I wish I could bin the duplicates. Have sent feedback regarding the issue but 😦

I upgraded my new one because it was better than my old one, so maybe that’s the big difference
