Unobtainable drops on top of fence

Summary:
When a drop is spawned on top of a fence (in this case, spawned after elemenating an enemy base), it (almost) cannot get picked up.

Steps to reproduce:
I am not quite sure how it happened, but i have a strong feeling that this is what caused it:

  1. Have a small goblin outpost, right beside a fence
  2. Elemenate it and hope that a drop spawns on top of fence

Results:


When the item is here, you cannot order hearthlings to pick it up. Not with the “Loot item” button when the item is selected (Its not even there - See picture, bottom left), nor with the “loot” function from the “Fight & Defend” menu.

Version Number and Mods in use:
Alpha 14 (not test) - release 504 (x64) - no mods

Notes:
This can easily be fixed by moving/removeing the fence. The item will fall to the ground and the “loot” tool can then reach it. And yes, i do have storage space. Everyting around the oak log seen on the picture was picked up.

Possible solution:
Make it impossibe for drops to spawn on fences.
