have the Zoi hold the pickaxe (or any other item, Rake, Book, etc)
consume anything from inventory, but it has to be a consumable that disappears after use (eg Capsule from the Resale Store or Medicine from the Pocket Market)
the pickaxe disappears, still get the effect from the consumable despite teh Zoi still holding it. I can even consume it multiple times to renew the effect as long as the consumable is not put in the inventory
If you click on your zoi after consuming an item and the axe has disappeared, is the pickaxe selectable? I assume this could be a bug related to multitasking and holding two objects, which is possible atm, but slightly buggy.

No the pickaxe it not selectable, it just vanishes to the void: neither in the inventory nor on the ground. as if the pickaxe item gets consumed instead of the juice
i had to craft / buy a new one every single time till i figured out what banishes it from existence
I just tried to reproduce the bug, but my zoi only had the bronze pickaxe at hand. Quite literally xD With the bronze axe, the bug doesn’t appear. As you can see in the screenshots below, my zoi carried the axe, ate one item right out of his pockets and still had the axe in hand as well as in his inventory afterwards. The axe interaction menu was also working perfectly.
I have played around with different kind of consumables & items to hold and i noticed the bug depends on the consumable ‘type’ and not the actual item that the Zoi holds
it has to be a consumable that disappears after use, for example consumable bought from the Resale Store (Mind Juice, Capsule, etc..) or Pocket Market (Medicine, Vitamins). In that case it does not matter what my Zoi holds, it will vanish while still holding the consumable after the action finished. Copper Pickaxe? Gone! Diamond watering can? Gone! Random book from the bookshelf? You guessed it, gone! While for the Pocket Market items i have to wait a bit longer for the action to finish (opposed to the Resale Store items which seems to be instant) but the item do disappear in the end
If its a consumable that ‘changes’ after use (bag full of chips → empty chips bag that can be thrown out once finished eating) everything works as intended
This is a very interesting find, and thoroughly researched. When you consume the consumable, the comsumable itself doesn’t disappear right? There must be some error on the code that deletes the object in the wrong hand.
I hope with all this information the devs will be able to tackle the issue soon.
thats correct! and also after ‘consuming my pickaxe’ i was able to use the Mind Juice consumable multiple times as long as it stayed in my Zoi hand. the moment i put it in the bag, the consumable disappeared upon consuming
Actually you can use the consumable item forever… let it eat your pickaxe and put it back in pack then before using it again hold pickaxe again and let it eat it and you have the consumable again… I held onto an ability booster juice for a year Zoi time or more and still had it.
