1. Alpha 0.90.16a 2. Drones will only gather Regolith on the ground, and ignore any other resource on the ground. 3. Was able to get this to happen multiple ways. A. Excavated some walls and set up a nearby bulk storage for Regolith, drones would carry all Regolith to that storage. Mined some Iron then set up bulk storage (set to Iron) near it, and all resources would be ignored even if there is no Regolith present. Adjusting priorities would have no effect. B. Same as A except instead of mining Iron, would deconstruct a building (example: Bulk storage with some Regolith inside), and all Regolith would be stored, but nothing else would be moved to another other storage point or construction project. Adjusting priorities would have no effect. 4. Was able to get this to happen in a fresh game, and from a saved game.

please (if you can) add the particular save game like described in https://discord.com/channels/670425270615932951/1241018029693734953 - if that pickup problem persist as you describe.
maybe show a screenshot of the iron bulk storage and its pick-up settings.

Will when I have a moment. Work decided that today was, in fact, not a day off (woo! nothing like being in charge...).

So, my game has been updated to Alpha 0.90.16c, I'll update the post if this issue still exists in the newer version.

It is often annoying they ignore the stacks of iron and concrete on the ground from demolishing units. But is kind of normal. You can set the priority level of small resource storage to max and put the ingress of the material to ON in the logistics interface and eventually they will pick it all up... if they are not busy building etc.

So far, seems like everything is working now. Might have been patched between 0.90.16a and 0.90.16c. Still checking.
