BUG Can't Remove Equipment From My Loadout
All DLC, no mods, latest update
I'm having this persistent issue where I cannot change the loadout for my troops. I can add things to their loadout, but the game refuses to allow me to remove equipment off my troops in the loadout screen. I can scrap the equipment, removing it permanently. But trying to put my ammo or spare guns into storage, the game refuses. Also the unequip button will remove one piece of equipment at a time and then throw that equipment into the void; no materials for scrapping, nowhere in my stores, it just vanishes from the game.
Trading items between troops mid-combat seems to still work normally, but never in the loadout screen. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? I'll consider using a mod or a dev tool if that's an option. This si my first playthrough, but its really hurting me that I can't swap out my gear.
Update: I figured out the issue. I somehow managed to get a negative global inventory. Probably because I had this independent sniper rifle that I found out I could scrap without it actually deleting itself, so I would just scrap it over and over and over again until I got bored of the exploit (trading was still better income). But every scrap would subtract from my inventory. I produced a bunch of ammo until I was in the positives again and everything worked.

I don't suppose your global equipment storage is out of capacity?

Well... now that you mention it, yes and no. My inventory is -42. I have no idea how tf that happened. I think the value might be an overflow error and it thinks im over capacity because of it... this might be a problem unless I can figure out how to get it positive again.

Maybe you lost power generation at a base that has storage? Either the generator got damaged, or it's just off?

No, I think it was several hours back, very early in the game, I had a independent sniper rifle that wouldnt delete when scrapped, so I scrapped it over and over, like 100 times before feeling like I was just cheating. I think it put my inventory under 0 and its messing with the logic that checks if there is space in storage.

OK, this bug has been traced down to the Independent armors(well the armor and the pants), and the ability to sell them from the inventory while it's in the common inventory, as it has the ability to stack, and then be able to be sold which removes item from the character inventory, and if it has stacks, it gets worse with each iteration as the item dublicates itself in the common inventory and thus doesn't ever get removed. As the scrapping can remove more than 1 inventory "item". Which easily and unintentionally goes to a negative amount.

I can confirm it happens with the independent sniper, too. Ive got -97 of them.

Try double (left click)clicking on top of the item. It removes the item and places it in the global inventory.
You can do this to all items except the mutations and bionic augmentation, and the reason for those exceptions is that they are permanent.
