Wicker Picker Still Doesn't Stack Objects

If an item stacks to 5, that means wicker picker is essentially 4 inventory slots which you are trading for a valuable hand slot, and you wouldn't even equip it merely for the 4 slots.

This is because of the fact that all the unstacked items will need to be manually restacked when you store it, which takes more time than just doing another foraging trip. This makes it by far the worst item in the game, because it is the worst kind of useless, an item that actively hurts you.

Compare it with the wanderers bindle, another early game item. You get more than 4 inventory, but with none of the wicker pickers horrific drawbacks.

It would be nice if this fun early game item received some of that lobtar love.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

or...since game design may just go for easier routes, make its inventory a lot larger, like 2 to 4x :p
