Their hitbox is slightly too large. If you put the stockpile next to your farmtiles, you will fail to pick up items from the tiles next to the stockpile, because your square hitbox corner will be blocked by the stockpile.
It is very irritating and clearly an unintentional bug.

Re: Straw stockpiles too big
Actual size of hide stockpile is much smaller than model will indicate. So this means there is no reason to not do this for straw too! Straw stockpile should be made smaller than one game tile.Burinn wrote:Have you seen the size of the hide stockpile?shubla wrote:Their hitbox is slightly too large.

Re: Straw stockpiles too big
Flax stockpile is a lot smaller than what the model looks like when its full. So there is really no sense in size of them.
Either flax stockpile and all others should be made bigger. Or then just decrease straw stockpile size a little bit.

Re: Straw stockpiles too big



Bump.
Stockpile hitbox sizes should really be looked at.
Many hitboxes of stockpiles do not match the models of them.
Either make all stockpiles match their hitbox or then make all stockpile less than 1*1 tile.
Above we can see many stockpiles with inconsistent hitbox size, relative to the model.
Making most if not all stockpile hitboxes at most 1*1 tile size, would make farming a lot more easier.
Straw stockpile for example, is most annoying currently.

Sand stockpile may be the new record.

Re: Straw stockpiles too big
So I started a new hide stockpile next to a full one, forced them to be "close" (ctl+click to place) and the new stockpile is barely accessible. there's a corner of one of the visual hides I can click on. I used Amber and turned on bounding boxes to illustrate.
