Pickup+

Pickup+ on your Conan Exiles server

Pickup+ does exactly what its name promises: everything you've placed can be picked back up. A freely bindable hotkey (QuickPickup, configurable via Input.ini) skips the menu entirely, and admins can disable the pickup option for individual items as well as for thralls and pets through the options wheel — the latter resets their stats, which is why it's off by default. Unlike many of the older mods in this list, Pickup+ is the actively maintained version built for the game's Enhanced mode (a separate Legacy release exists in parallel). With over 448,000 subscribers, it's become a quality-of-life staple for many community servers. To run it on your rented server, just add the mod ID to your modlist; players need to subscribe to the same version via Steam Workshop so the connection handshake succeeds.

Plan the rollout and operation

Pickup+ can fix placement mistakes, but it can also change construction costs, raids, and the trade in building pieces. Decide separately which objects, thralls, and pets may be picked up. Try the rules with a normal player rather than only as an admin, checking inventory contents, durability, and a server restart. If your community scores bases or runs raids, permitted use of the hotkey should be stated explicitly in the rules.

For a safe rollout, back up the world and server configuration, record the current modlist.txt including order, and start a copy on the exact same game version. Review the boot log for missing packages, then join with a client using the same Workshop list. A useful smoke test covers joining, spawning, one core mod feature, saving, restarting, and joining again. After major game updates, delay the live update until the mod and its dependencies are explicitly compatible. Change only one part of the list per test run; otherwise a crash cannot be traced to a specific entry. Before removal, use a world copy to check for stored items, buildings, thralls, or configuration owned by the mod. Remove its Workshop entry from production only after the save loads cleanly without those assets. This keeps rollback and diagnosis manageable.
