I had something kind of similar to the last poster. I would have no tool in my hand but when i got into interacting range with a tree it would play the chopping sound and gather branches. It would lower the durability of the knife. Maybe it affects other tools as well. The problem usually went away after sleeping or loading. Didn't notice it happening with rocks but it did play the soundbite with the dragon egg though nothing happened. Fun game.
Downloaded the game this friday through the itch.io desktop app. It should be the latest version. The pick up indicator is there.
Remembering some other stuff right now.
I also got stuck in a tardigrade corpse. Couldn't move until it was completely harvested.
Filling the water bottles is also a little difficult sometimes. Had to move around the well and retry a few times before it would allow me to fill.
Chased an antilope into the river. It kept moving back and forth but didn't get out and didn't run away when I got close.
