~~ **Summary:**  
When I order workers to loot items dropped from defeated enemies, they often just leave the items there and ignore them.~~

~~ **Steps to reproduce:**  
 1) Use latest version  
 2) Order worker to loot something  
 3) See results(?)~~

~~ **Expected Results:**  
 Worker should loot the item and bring it to the nearest available stockpile~~

~~ **Actual Results:**  
 Workers ignore it and leave these looted items even where there is nothing else to do.~~

~~ **Notes:**  
Restarting the game doesn’t help either. 😛~~

~~ **Attachments:**  
 A picture of all the loot I have that isn’t getting collected:

hmm… i also ran into this problem, but in the end placing a couple more chests fixed the problem, as it turned out i just didnt have enough storage space…

so could you double check and make sure you have enough stockpile/crates/etc. placed?

Yep, I changed my stockpiles around and the workers picked it up. 😃

Feel free to lock this/mark as resolved.
