Ran into a tiny issue that might have been a much bigger deal, and an even tinier issue...
On a pirate shipwreck. Killed a pirate while he was standing on A Door, with one close behind; that guy dropped Transuranium. I moved onto the Door, collecting it, and the other pirate attacks me. I drop the Transuranium... onto a piece of Metal Wall adjacent to the door, entirely inaccessible to pick up again.
If this had been something rarer, let alone a quest item, this would be a lot worse. Luckily not a big deal here, though.
Tinier issue: The log just says " made you drop some Transuranium", with the space at the start, but (though it was obviously the pirate attack in this case).
I have a screenshot but it doesn't show much... I'll just quote the last few log lines instead, in chronological order:
Code:
The Space Pirate dies! [melee attack]
You picked up some Transuranium. [1st pirate's]
Space Pirate swings for 22 damage.
made you drop some Transuranium
The Space Pirate dies! [melee attack]
You picked up some Transuranium. [2nd pirate's]
