Currently, the game is set to automatically pick-up items that are in a dropped state. This is beneficial for various reasons and conveniences. However, the convenience changes when you are lagging on a multiplayer server. When you are lagging or dealing with high ping delays, you aren't able to pick-up these items fast enough. And in a game where time matters, you are forced to watch and wait at these items until the game decides to let you have them; varies on the severity of the lag or out-of-sync in time.
From my experience, this is especially annoying when you are caving. I would be watching as the mined-out ores lay on the ground while I wait there, hoping they will get in my inventory. When I ask for the Host's time, I would find out the time is not in sync. And in most cases when mining, the time doesn't try to get in sync. Another issue I found out is that when you are in the cave, for some reason the game has a harder time to catch up or sync up the times. When I get out of the mines, the time would gradually catch up.
So my plea/suggestion is this, can there be an option or toggle to manually pick-up items? Similar to how we pick up foraged items, can we have the same functionality for other items on the ground? This will be of a great convenience and accessibility for those who are dealing with lag when playing multiplayer.
