This is quite cool. Could it be applied to the vending stands as well?

Could you do the same with the cupboards, simply show the item in the top-left slot in it above it?
It would surely lessen server load when people wouldn't have to dig through that many of them to find the stuff they are looking for...

While this would be cool, not tossing random shit wherever and actually having cupboards for specific things means there's no need for this.

I like the little dangling sign, also easy to tell apart, do like.

Something I noticed while browsing through the different signs, there are very few, and they seem to be mostly food oriented. Seeing more of those for general categories would be nice. Not saying there should be one for 'Water or things in buckets' per se, but something like one for string/cloths, metal bars (a biggie now that people will do this directly instead of coins), perhaps 'clay products', some for things sold often would be cool too (chants, bulbs, bricks).

Edit: Not sure how big a deal it is to make those, maybe that's why there are so few?

not only are coins relatively unused, but q10 vendor stands only have a few slots for items

Yes, coins are (in the stand's current implementation, though that can be fixed) less than optimal since their tooltip doesn't display. You may want to use nuggets instead.

Please fix ASAP. Coins offer the best possible resolution, and they just feel right. Also, fix bottles, jars etc.

Yea, like in irl where you can x-ray see through your cupboards to see whats inside instead of having to remember what was inside a specifical cupboard. Image

With the same argument you could say that we need to remove (among others) display of animal level, names and quality of all items, the numbers from the stats page, etc. Additional there would be a need for correct lign-of-sight (so no longer looking through walls), and finally toilets.

Last time i checked H&H was a game, definition of this is something to waste time on while having fun.

But where is the point in playing a game when it's identical to Outside® ?
