    Build:steam v 1.14.1 (actual of 2025.11.28 gmt+1: 03:20)
    Game environment:pc
    Platform: Steam
    DLC Installed:none
    SEED-ID:the seed of official eu server's

    If applicable:
    SERVER NAME: official eu server

    If applicable::
    Are you using any unofficial mods or custom maps ?:all the official eu server is using

    Reproducibility: always
    Severity: way too common (makes people feel the last arbitrary amount of hours of their lives are lost)

    Summary: picking up an item with left click picks up the item, yet there is no "inventory socket" for items that are held by the player via left click interactions

    Description: whatever the player is holding in its hand by just left clicking it in inventory is subject to be either dropped, or deleted (possibly both) due to the invenotry closing due to anything realy. for example an arriving just turned off, fell, and rocking on the ground hv, that is with each rock disconnects from the wireless network resulting in player interactions in the inventory - specifically by left clicking on items in order to move them - might result in the item be dropped, be deleted, be fell through the ground, or be dropped on the path towards a mining spot out of synch - the point is: never to be found again

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1)enter logistics screen sitting in a hv
    2)switching the left side of the inventory from player to base
    3)left click on resources inside the hv (from the right side) in order to place it on the left side (base) via wireless network
    4)due to some reason disconnect wireless network (such as just rocking on the ground) - and therefore - quit the inventory with the item still being held on the cursor
    5)hope that the full stack of item is only dropped, not deleted
    5.1)in case it is dropped, then hope it did not fall through the ground, desynched, glitched out of "existence", or rolled away
    5.2)in case it is deleted, then report it
    6)report it anyway

    Suggestions:
    according to my latest knowledge you can make inventory management more atomic via two options of game change:
    1)whatever the player is holding in its "hand" by left click should mark only the intent of the movement - there should be no actual item in the player hand, but only a reference to the item - the player should only mark the intent of moving the item by holding it, and then the actual movement will happen as the player places the reference of the item, not before
    2)another possibility is to make the "0" spot on the hotbar - which while in use the player can not use other stuff on its hotbar, neither via wireless connection, and can not move other inventory items from, and to his own inventory (the player inventory) - then from the "0" hotbar socket the player can move the item to an inventory, to its own inventory, drop the item himself, trash it, but not "place" it (via building is restricted to wireless connection) - this opens the possibility for special "gloves" that is a gampleay excuse for the player to be able to do things (like the f5 drone) such as picking up very heavy objects, and move it between inventories
