How can I move an item to my depot that normally can't go into my depot?

Question

I saw a Youtube video where someone was able to transport a corpse inside a locker in Yalahar to their depot by dragging it to a house and throwing items on it from upstairs until it was pushed to their depot. From my understanding, this was only possible because the corpse spawns inside the locker AND the locker is a wrappable item.

What are some other ways to get items that can't be picked up into your depot? I would love to be able to transport the large green leaves in Venore to cities that aren't on mainland or connected via the Explorer's Society teleporter.

Wow thanks for this question can't wait to see others research.  Also, please let me know if my edit was suitable.

Look good! Thanks for editing :)

Could you link the video? The current link points to another question with no video to be found there.

Sorry about that! I fixed the original link. Thanks for pointing that out!

Answer 1

This answer doesn't provide an other way (which would be groundbreaking for the decoration community), but explains the necessary conditions to trigger the behavior as seen in the video. (Read: I researched this a bit and wanted to document my findings.)

As you wrote, this method requires the non-pickable item to be within a (wrappable) container.

Rules

• A house field can normally hold 1000 stacks. (You'll get an error upon trying to move a next item there.)
• More items can be put by for example:
  • destroying a container with a melee weapon,
  • unwrapping an item,
  • being overloaded (red zero capacity) and making action that would make a new item (e.g., using a flask of demonic blood works great),
  • throwing over stairs/ladder.
• Overflow logic happens at ~1050 items. All items beyond the 1k limit are "evicted"  (probably just like when moving out of a house):
  • wrappable items are wrapped,
  • pickable items are grouped,
  • non-pickable items are discarded,
  • non-pickable items within wrappable items use the first condition and land in inbox.
• Unrolled carpet uses a separate slot (is always displayed on top).

Single-floor houses

Since I don't own a multi-story house, I came up with a setup that works for walkable-over items. (So sadly not lockers).

As with the rules above, only stairs can be used to put a non-pickable item as 1001st. However, an occupied bed has a very useful feature: it is not visible on the "browse field" list and doesn't count to the limit, while keeping its position on the list. This is a powerful feature, but with a limitation: only walkable-over items can share a tile with a bed.

Here's a procedure to put an item as 1001st and "evict" it:

1. Put a bag and 998 stacks.
2. Unwrap a part of a bed (1000th item) and put a char to sleep.
3. Place the walkable-over item on top (again visible as 1000th).
4. Wake up the char: the item in question is now 1001st.
5. Put more items to trigger overflow. A simple strategy is to:
   1. put a "chest of drawers" kit in the bag and unwrap it (works).
   2. put a crate and fill the drawers with trash (the crate is at the end)
   3. destroy the chest using a melee weapon
   4. the chest is now at the top: repeat the process with chests until overflow triggers.

Summary

Sadly, a non-pickable body or furniture is discarded in the process – it must be contained. There is another use-case for this trick: as items are not "evicted" when transferring a house, this procedure may be used to quickly move your heavy belongings to your inbox.

BTW Yeah, I know that "pickable" refers to "picking", not "picking up"...
