Increase the capacity for metal stockpiles

[Hasta]

Not sure how would that work with an object that can contain other objects, though.

This already exists. It's called a crate. It also holds 2 buckets.

I was referring to stockpiling mechanic. Is there a way to stockpile crates or some similar objects that could have different contents? I don't think so.

Wagons, carts, leantos. Do you seriously want to stockpile things like crates and buckets? We already have liquid stockpiles in the form of barrels.

I'm perfectly happy with what we have now, althou, as I have made perfectly clear, I wouldn't mind having a way to NOT lose my dropped bucket if pursuing a deer (or finding my way back) takes too long. Not that it's something I dream about at nights, neither I value my buckets over anything else. Just stated an opinion.

As for the person requesting a buckets stockpile, I am not clear on his stance about leantos and other things you've mentioned.

I can agree with that, although have you ever actually lost a bucket like this? In my experience, buckets seems to take quite a while to despawn (>10 minutes)

iv never actually heard of ANYONE making their smelters in a cave....

wooden chests can hold 36 bars of metal. and take up less space than the stockpiles. viola. bar storage outside. id say the point of stockpiles is "free" and limited storage, limited to one thing. i dont mind containers you have to craft being better.

also can someone explain the stockpiles hurting loftar thing? i dont get it...

Metal stockpiles are stupid. Any stockpile that is larger than 1 tile is stupid unless it takes 9 tiles because it can't realistically be tiled neatly, like dirt or skins.

Bricks and ingots can be stacked neatly, so why do hearthlings have to pile them up so stupidly? Can you honestly call this frustration a good mechanic?

jorb has to model them, Loftar has to make the item able to be stockpiled, which should be easy if he made some kind of dynamic stockpile functionality.

viola.

Voila. This is a viola.

actually thats a violin but i digress. whats so hard about making the item stockpilable? if it has to do with coding in java, i told them back in w7 that java was a terrible thing to code games in. iv been on the receiving end of several games' bullshit due to them being coded in java....

only the client is java, the server's in c

I once left one on the ground overnight and it was fine.

Oh, my mistake, I guess I'll post an actual viola then



Huh, that's weird, they look kinda similar, don't you think?

Anyway, I'm not sure where you got the idea that it hurts Loftar, but if it was this...

Loftar can only take so much abuse.

Then you have missed more than one joke in this thread.
