- You’re really going to have to _workaround_ for this one (pun intended). The good news is that the team is already aware and working on a fix for this. Here are some tips that one of the Mods gave someone else, this has worked for me to an extent.

- No real fix, just some tips on how to get some _level_ of interaction. See link above.

- Yeah, this is not really a solution, it seems to be hit/miss, and for most, it doesn’t work. Doesn’t work for me.

- Just the ones mentioned above. Basically, I’ve had success accessing the interaction on items if I get right on top of it and crouch. Sometimes I have to be fast because it doesn’t always stay there.

1. For saving; you can go to the back of the shelter and look down. If that doesn’t work, crouch while going to the back of it.
2. For water still; go to the back of it and look down at the edge of it.
3. For Yucca; find the very edge of the plant and crouch, looking around it until you see the interaction. It is a very small touch point. This is the same for Fibrous leaves, but much harder with smaller interaction point.

Basically, it takes some doing, but if you’re desperate, it can be done. Otherwise, do what most of us are doing and just wait for the update, which is forthcoming.

I hope this helps!
