Game Version: v1.1b-1231
Input Mode: I switch back and forth between keyboard and controller. this instance happened on controller, last time was keyboard.
#Wont pick up item on ground

still continuing.
so even though the day is saved and onto the next the item sprites are still there 
I'm having this issue too. I initially had it before the latest hotfix with a sprinkler that I couldn't reasonably dislodge, though it did eventually come back to my inventory after I built another to put in its place.
Now it's happening whenever my inventory is full and can't pick something up off the ground. They just hang there. It happens in the farm and the mines.
yeah its happening to me all over. i have items scattered in 3 different places now. i built my shed on top of the lonely scrap sprite lol
I was hoping that I could grow a tree on the garbage on my farm. I have no idea how to make them register as pick-ups again.
i think theyre just gonna be there until a fix... but how would one fix all of our save files? hm.

Good news! Growing a tree under the garbage hides the garbage.
It didn't fix anything but it looks prettier 🙂
I think I noticed a possible cause! It's when two items are trying to enter my inventory at the same time when I only have one open slot. I pick up one and the other(s) freeze in place.
So perhaps whatever flag is flipped to stop them from entering the inventory... isn't being undone?
Or something to that effect; I don't know the innards of the game.
That hypothesis led me to try eating an item while standing over the affected objects, but that didn't "wake them up" like I hypothesized.
Okay, restarting the day unfroze them. That's a good workaround if a little awkward.
oh yeah so im already several game days away from when they fell. theyre stuck there.
Ah jeez. Restarting the game didn't do anything?
