How do i get stuff into my shopping basket?

The wiki says:

```auto

```

I don’t understand what this is actually saying (only drop unknown items into trolly???)

I tried:  
grabbed the trolly  
go to inventory  
select item  
drop  
but it drops on floor

so i’m assuming you don’t drop items form your inventory - but i can’t see how you drop items on the floor or in storage into the trolly either

i then tried weilding an item and press D but that didn;t work either

am obviously missing something ☹

advice appreciated

many thanks

Press Drop  
Press in the direction of the storage  
Select the items you want  
Done!

Examine the storage to get stuff back.

Once you select the direction you want to drop stuff, it should open your inventory screen and let you select what you want.

If you need to store something with too much volume (eg. A frame) remember stuff in your hands isn’t limited by volume.

So you can Take off your equipped weapon and then grab the big object you want to store.

thanks again - useful to know

shame you can’t deposit stuff from your trolly directly onto the ground though rather than having to cycle through your inventory

I’m not actually sure if Ingesecition is a human with very bad reading comprehension, or a spambot with very good intuition. Every post has been almost orthogonal to the subject discussed, where it’s tangentially connected but never makes sense in the larger context of the discussion at hand.

Given how all his posts appear to be gone, the latter option seems more accurate, actually.

The person above is correct. use advanced inventory command /  
then press the direction your cart is in the go to the other screen and press “I” to look at your own inventory anh hit “m” to move it to the shopping cart. Took me a while to find that out myself
