WX-78 Auto-Grabber complain post compilation

[Reiko24]

Here is a compilation of all posts I could find since the release of the update, since I've seen some people on the forum downplaying the problem.

The auto-grabbers clog the player's inventory, just because the player wanted to pick one thing off the ground. It needs to be changed for the affinity to be usable without annoyance. 

The best thing that could be done in my opinion is allowing the player to give them a signal to rest, OR let them only pick items up that the player already has in their inventory.

I've played with the shadow affinity for a couple days now and the drones really are a problem that is easily fixed. It's an inconvenience more than a huge issue, but with how easy it is to fix we shouldn't ignore it.

I think the ideal solution as much as people hate them would be a skill wheel with 3 options.

1. Grab what I grab

2. Grab anything when I grab

3. Rest mode

As I said multiple times earlier, z-menu will solve a lot of WX problems. But Klei had decided to release half-backed skill tree for whatever reason.

Honestly I didn't mind much at first until I realized they harvested crops then I got annoyed...

Question: are non-WX players able to access the chassis that is receiving materials from the grabbers?

Would be problematic to have a WX leave their chassis somewhere and make all the harvestable plants in the area unusable to other players.

I have not got this far with WX yet but couldn't they just add like an inventory slot and make gather specifically what's in that slot?

Non wx players can't open the chassis as far as I'm aware
