I thought I could still keep things like copper wire and logic wires in the inventory but I can't pick them up. (despite starting the game with a few of them)

I also can't add them to my hotkey bar.

maybe related, but I also started with 1 thing in my inventory: a preset deconstruction planner. I can't pick that up, move it, put on my hotkey bar or do absolutely anything with it.

I'm only using a few small other mods, but disabling those doesn't change anything.

I recommend Module Inserter by Choumiko to manipulate <strike>copper and logic wires</strike> modules. You should be able to create deconstruction, blueprints and upgrade planners into your hot-bar directly.

I'll look into the random deconstruction planner. Thanks for the report! 🍰

I've fixed the random deconstruction planner in 0.9.49. 👍

I'm still not sure about the random wires, but you can also use Wire Shortcuts by daydev for wiring stuff.

thanks, dude :)

You're welcome 🙂
