Item Stacking

[Leah Damien]

The game is awesome and running really smooth, but can you add most items to stack please. With a small inventory we are constantly running back and forth. And also a crouch option too. Thanks

Crouching is definately needed for hunting to break line of sight(would be nice for bandits also). The stacking should be a selectable option to appeal to all players imo.

If you have a bow in your hand, try holding down the right mouse button. See if that works for you.

I agree, bought this game yesterday to play with a friend and would like to see a bit more added to it like stacking materials (which ought to be standard in any game) and basic attack options like stealth and crouching abilities.

If you are early into the game then you might not have the bag yet or the stock pile.. things do stack in the stockpiles.

If your own inventory and the inventory of your villagers stacked I believe it would break the game. Early on it's rough but it gets a lot better.

Stealth and crouching.. totally agree.

the single-stacks in inventory is purposeful. Gotta have some limits to a game or it's a 2 hour challenge. If they allowed stacking, then they'd have to implement a weight system. Otherwise you'd be carrying hundreds of ore weight easily. Would be silly, and then people would complain about that.

Can't please anyone. Just try to realize what your thinking is a nice-to-have, may actually water the game down to, as said, a 2 hour challenge.

Stacking in this game is only visual for storage building ui purposes. Inventory is all volumetric. So 1 log takes 9 slots. 2 logs takes the same 18 slots whether stacked or separate.

Yes, but the visual is different in containers versus inventory. That's what confuses folks.

The devs put a lot of planning and thought into inventory, and for me, I am quite happy with what they gave us.

Actually a log takes up a 3x3 space which is way different than 9 spaces if 9 spaces were just nine spaces you could carry 4 logs with a bag. not complaining I personally like the way they did things shows thoughtful purpose.
