Buggy following to close

[Spladash]

There should be a setting to adjust the distance they follow because they get to close when you puck up materials or shooting the bow

Yes please, either the dumb thing is off wandering around ignoring me completely or he's under my feet preventing me from interacting with anything but him.

Yes as a builder the buggy follow distance is a issue while harvesting resources.

Yep, I agree the amount of times it bothered me while collecting resources. For now I made a work around by just making my buggy to stay, collect resources and hop on the buggy. It works for now but I will definitely appreciate if they fix it in future as a QOL fix but for now I think they already have a lot of other trivial issues they r working on. I'm happy to wait cuz I know they will deliver. (Hoping based on how they handled Grounded).

I find that switching to 3rd person fixes this, but that shouldn't have to be the case of course.

I agree with increasing the following distance.  I don't know how many times I have tried to cut down things, or pick up stuff and I am suddenly riding my buggy.

This issue keeps popping up on multiple threads so I think they will adjust it in future updates. The only finicky part about the fix is allowing you to get close enough to the buggy to mount it, but not allowing the buggy to get/stay that close to you. If you increase the range at which you can mount the buggy, then you risk that triggering when you don’t want it to. Perhaps there can be a slight delay when you move into mounting range before the code to make the buggy get out of the way triggers.
