Game Development: Stack of Stacks

[Zentetsuken]

did u scrap the neat looking bundle art? kind of liked the aesthetic of it.

new and fun art of stacked items in bundles walked so that small number in the corner could run

The silk worms auto stacking then not eating while auto stack is an awesome way to destroy a lot of progress.

• Apologies for the radio silence. A lot going on. Will do better, but patches may be intermittent for a while. We work as much as always.

so one patch a month’s the new status quo, huh?

They're doing allright.

Pushed some more smaller accrued fixes that don't really warrant their own announcement:

• When mousewheeling into inventories that only accept some items (eg. herbalist tables, smelters, &c), the transfer will try to find items in stacks (and also other container items) to see if something matches. It's a general mechanism, so I'm not sure if it might have some unintended consequences that are less desirable, but I haven't found any obvious yet.
• The Drink action still uses the general autodrink mechanism that is invoked when out of stamina, but this mechanism has been augmented such that, if you have nothing drinkable bound to your hotbelt, it looks for anything drinkable that your character has. The intention is that if you don't care what you auto-drink or the order in which they are prioritized, just don't bind anything, and if you do, you can bind the things you want to drink.
• If a chippable boulder is in the way when area-mining, the character will first prefer to chip down said rock. Hopefully this lessens the problem with boulders preventing area-mining.
• The following things now stack: Feathers, entrails, intestines, animal fat, rendered fat, butter, eggs, and bone material.

Actually more impact on the game than the last 10 patches. The gnomes are truly doing alright.

All of those changes are really nice

Can items be be sold out of stacks in barter stands? or are there plans for that?

The current implementation is that barter stands very explicitly and intentionally recurse into stacks to find items for sale. The reason for this is to be able to see the actual item that you're buying instead of a stack that doesn't really tell you much about the items inside it. I actually thought that barter stands already had the option to sell multiple items at once, but now that I look at it again, it seems I had only dreamt that. Will consider that as a future addition.
