Summary
In game, whenever my footmen spot and defeat a enemy, loot gets dropped and whenever I try to send some Hearthlings over to pick these items up, they never do. its been a good 6 days and still the items I selected haven’t been picked up.
I tried only selecting one item to loot, nothing, tried taking off every task and only doing this one, nothing, unless we can make our footmen pick up these far away loots while exploring, we won’t be abled to require far way items.

One way to get around the proximity job creator is to make them build a chest near where you want all the loot picked up. They’ll then place the items in the chest then you can have the now full chest moved back to camp.
that’s a awesome idea, I never thought about that thanks, one more question, I don’t have a carpenter and can’t seem to get any for sale from merchants, is there another way to obtain the saw?
you can get the carpenters saw from the blacksmith, it requires a level 4 blacksmith and steel to craft it.
But it doesn’t have to be leatherbound chest. It can be crate or the mason’s stone chest!
Plant your chosen storage near the loot, wait when hearthling decides to plant the chest and most often start putting the loot in chest. Then move the loot chest to your village, set the filters to none if you want the loot sorted out to your stockpiles and done!
This seems to always happen if the games been running for awhile, simple fix I’ve found is remove all pickup orders then save and restart the game. They’ll usually start listening again after that.
