iOS Hitting X on pro controller in item menu deletes items including tools

[Jordynbx]

I don’t know the exact details of what’s happening, but this has happened to me twice now: connect switch pro controller to iPad Air 11 inch 2024. while the game is in progress and the item menu is open. The controller connects and either the hoe or the item in the first item slot disappears. I don’t know which because my hoe was in the same placement both times. Very frustrating! I get it back through the mail, but that’s still a pain.
I am playing on the App Store version 1.6.15.0.

EDIT 2/10/25 Have further honed in on this - it actually appears that using a pro controller and pressing X while in the item menu DELETES AN ITEM, INCLUDING TOOLS! Considering I do this by accident ALL of the time it seems like a pretty significant issue, since the X button OPENS the menu on the switch. (At least now I know where my missing items have gone…)

I suppose at this point it’s on me to realize that I should stop using this controller because it’s not properly supported but still wanted to make this known.

I also just realized my new tools lose all of their upgrades wtf??? Is there anyway to get them back or revert to an older save file???

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO. MY IRIDIUM PICKAXE IS NOW REGULAR NOOOOOOOOOOOO


Details: I always played with PS5 controller with no truly upsetting issues except the usual ones (scrolling inventory bug, occasional freeze). Tried using switch pro and LOST MY IRIDIUM PICKAXE. pretty sure i pressed the x (north) button, dont remember if inventory screen was open. Next day went to Louis to retrieve it -- ITS THE ORIGINAL STONE PICKAXE. all my upgrades are gone including the efficiency enchantment. fortunately (?) its day 1 summer now so i'll just stick to farming for awhile but truly sad to imagine reupgrading.

Platform: ios ipad pro with Switch Pro controller

Yes this is SUCH a bummer. I’ve taken to being really careful about knowing my tools status before I sleep and I’ve also become very familiar with the backup options. If it’s only been one day, in the file menu you can do “revert to previous save” or something like that. I also take backup saves periodically. I try not to keep any tools in the very first slot and start them on the second slot, but overall it’s annoying AF. Seems like a huge oversight that we can just…delete our tools.

Omg yes so thankful for manual saves and back ups. I was so traumatized after losing my pickaxe I reverted to my playstation controller — which hasn’t caused any issues of that kind!
