I cannot knap an axe head

[Grasamo]

Hi all,

I just started playing today.  I am doing the tutorial.  I was able to make knife via knapping without issue.  When I try to knap an axe head, it keeps poofing on me.  I'm using flint to make the head.  The first time 3 times, I tried knapping with flint, carefully remove the blocks highlighted to be removed.  On the fourth attempt, I tried using granite to knap the flint axe head.  Same result.  I have the flint on flat ground, but it is granite sand.  Is that the issue?  this is very frustrating.

Welcome! Are you playing on 1.19(the current, stable release), or the 1.20 pre-release? If you're playing on the pre-release, it's possible you've found a bug, as pre-releases aren't stable and often have a lot of rough issues to sort out before they're properly ready for launch.

If you're playing on 1.19--first I would make sure that you have at least one empty space in your inventory(which is probably only the hotbar when first starting). If there isn't space for you to pick up the newly created axe head, it will just fall to the ground after creation, and should be visible nearby. Now if that's not the case, I would move any world files you care about to a separate folder, and reinstall Vintage Story entirely. Start a new world(no mods!), and try again; it should work. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes things get messed up in the code, and the fastest way to fix it is usually backing up any of the game files you care about and starting over with a fresh installation.

(1) V1.19.8(Stable)
(2) I have no slots free on 1, 2, 3, ..., 0, but I do have 4 hand baskets equipped that are not full....

OH duh on me!  They went into my basket... Oops!  I don't know how to get them OUT of the basket, but hey at least it made them... Sorry to bother!
