How are you doing that? I can't lift up file cabinets or blue shelves that have fallen over
I'm on day 40, and I believe I've had 3 or 4 events that messed up the base (though I think that one of them was one of these explosive drives, I've collected about 5 of them now)
Are you just grabbing it or are you dragging it? If you hold shift as you grab a heavy object, you will start dragging it, it will try to follow your movements without falling over.
