[Feature request] Stack-all/Auto-stack button

[Billa (Ash)]

Hi all,

For those of us who are a little compulsive, I'd like to request a "Stack all/auto stack button" for all containers and inventories.

At the moment, after some crafting I may have a container with multiple incomplete stacks of items, for example;

A stack of 77 wood
A stack of 11 wood
A stack of 98 wood
A stack of 4 wood

And so on...

Now, granted, it's nothing major, but I like to have my stacks as complete as possible. Currently if I'm looking at a container, in order to stack them I have to drag them all to my own inventory and stack them there, then move them back.

I'd LOVE it if a "Stack all" button could be added to all containers and inventories that would automatically stack all items as best as possible.

At the very least, the ability to stack items within a container (and not have to move them back and forth into my inventory) would be fab-tastic.

Cheers!

The time we waste stacking up stuff so they dont take so much space ... the game should do that by default.

Indeed Jay - it's an inconvenience with just 2 of us or on singleplayer - I imagine for large tribes it's a little more annoying.

Yup, the ability to stack/separate things directly in boxes/dinos would be a nice addition.

yea slightly time consuming but I just hold shift and double click on item to throw 5 of an item at a time then control and double click to add one to stacks of 99 to make them whole. I feel like it's a little quicker than pulling stacks to my inventory

Yep! and also the same "stacking effectiveness" for dinos/other inventories, that don't follow the stacking or splitting rules.
Also a "number select" screen would be nice, like alt+move and u'll have to type how many pieces u want to move ;)

you think so? imagine you gone hunting with your rex and then left him in your base for some time... Next time you come to it it'll have tons inconvenient stacks of meat (for example 11). An auto-sort/auto-stack button would have been nice. There are many other inconveniences tied to the lack of that function.

UI is made to be console friendly... so we are unlikely to see that function. (

Anyways +1 from me. Also please add the ability to assign a specific resource to containers and have a transfer type button that moves all from your inventory of only what that storage is setup to take. Would also be nice to be able to split stacks in storage containers and dino inventories same as player inventory. While we are at it, dinos should be able to block all harvesting. Annoying to have a berry harvesting dino fill up it's inventory when you are attacking players or other dinos. Especially Brontos. Go to attack a player or dinos and end up harvesting 1000s of berries that you have to dunp because your weight is maxed in a single swing.

Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it ;-)

Hazen, your suggestion about assigning a chest to a certain type of resource is something a mate of mine mentioned a few days back - I'll post that in the ideas thread.

And thanks about pointing out that I posted this outside the appropriate subforum, might repost this there :) thanks!

+1

also a feature to select multiple items, and then drag them all into another inventory at once would be great.

+1 to this and to the ability to select specific types of items for particular containers!

3 year old thread. The necromancer in you is powerful I see.

Apart from the terrible Necro. You can already do this. Its called the search function/transfer all.
