    Hi everyone!
    I realized the drill tool has some nice functions like filling up holes, leveling terrain and such. I played with it for a bit, all nice, until I realized that since then I can't mine any stone. Not with the drill, not with the Survival Tool. The resource count goes down, when depleted the stone properly disappears but no collection message shows up and nothing is added to the inventory.

    Would anyone have an idea of what is happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just to add more info. I have tried all my saves and the issue was present before I played with the drill. Was able to find relatively recent save where it still works and decided to just pick it up and continue.
    One thing I did just between the last working save and the first non-working one was to trash crushed stone I had in my inventory. So could it be a bug where trashing somehow starts preventing you from mining it?

    There aren't any crushed stone sources that have resource counts. Stone only comes from surface rocks (which have health) and stone terrain (not dirt). What exactly are you mining?

    Sorry for not being accurate here. It's the surface rocks I'm talking about.

    They should go right into your inventory or connected container. Have you tried HV drills?

    I know they should but they don't.
    I tried to reproduce it in the saves I have from before it started happening and no luck.
