Bug - Not A Bug disallow familiar equipment on blackbird in run, please!

Today, I clicked the relay browser link to use the black market map in my HC run. I had the annoying pitchfork locked as the familiar item. Mafia reassembled the blackbird, set it as my active familiar, and used the map. It flew away with my annoying pitchfork! A clan-mate recently had the same thing happen, but with a new sugar shield.

Can this be addressed? It isn't the end of the world, but in a manner not inconsistent with the pitchfork, it is annoying. Thanks!
 
I'm not sure I believe it. The Wiki specifically say that if you are wearing a tiny bust of Pallas, it returns to inventory when the Blackbird flies away. Ditto for IOTM familiar equipment. So, why would the behavior be different for a sugar shield or an annoying pitchfork?

If it really IS different, file a bug report against KoL itself.
Otherwise, refresh inventory, and then the items will reappear.

Otherwise, just Don't Do That - do not put a familiar item on the blackbird before you read the map. You had to do that intentionally, since KoLmafia will not put an item on the familiar when you grow it. Don't Do That.
 
He didn't actually put an item on the familiar -- the item was locked, so my assumption is that it just jumped onto the familiar. It seems like odd behavior, to be honest, but I'm in no position to test it at the moment.
 
Don't Do That.

In the meantime, file a bug report against KoL itself; the identical thing would happen if you did this in the raw KoL interface, without Kolmafia involved, and therefore, if this is a a bug, it is a KoL bug. That makes it, by definition, Not Our Bug - and it's not our job to protect you against KoL bugs.

Sorry, I loaded the page before you edited in the rest of that post (i.e. when it just read "Don't Do That."). But yeah, I just realized that it wouldn't have been a KoLmafia bug either way.
