"you already have the maximum entity" bugged char?

[KittKatt]

I dropped a fletching drying box on the floor of a house a few weeks ago, which dropped through the floor and vanished.

I thought maybe the box would eventually time-out or vanish, but even after waiting for the patch- it seems my character still thinks I need to pick up the box I cannot see nor reach.

I in-game bugged it a while ago, but I still am getting the error when trying to place a new fletching box. Help! I'm almost out of arrows! I need to make more! :P

Is there a way to get around this?

Thank you!

Omg! I don't know how it happened, but the house spit it out and box was back on the floor! Yay! *picks up really old arrows*

I'm glad you were able to get your arrows back!

FYI, if this ever happens to you again, there is a way to destroy your existing boxes:


Fletching boxes and Icefishing traps never despawn.

There is a command that will zap your unreachable consumables. Make sure you have picked up the items you can. Then type /zapresources fletching . You can also use this for stuck icefishing traps: /zapresources icefishing .

You do lose the item. But at least you can place the right amount of items.

Aww ... Tagamogi beat me here. Yup, /zapresources will usually help in this situation. Just please remember to send an in-game report about the stuck resource from its location - or as close as you can get - so we can investigate and fix that location! (You should also include anything weird you were doing at the time. If you were jumping backwards over a cow while dancing and placing your fletching box, that might be important to know.)

Thank you for the tip! I didn't know that command existed. I should of asked for help earlier! :D
