Barter Stands should show when full

Post by qoonpooka »

Especially as the world ages, most barter stands offering trades I would want to transact are full - but the only way to find this out once you discover them is to make the journey there, usually loaded to the brim.

This is a huge issue for newer players especially, who depend upon trade with more veteran players; they tend to be selling bulk low-tier items like bricks and whatnot, and avoiding wasted trips (deadheading) would be a huge QoL improvement.

In addition, tools like the Community Fair market stall report could adapt to this signal and stop reporting all the stalls that are full.

A basic check of the destination inventory to ensure that it can fit another click of the trade button seems relatively light on the server - it would only need to be performed when a trade was performed (Can I do this again?) and when the container holding the hand was interacted with.

Perhaps resetting the flag could simply be a matter of placing the hand again, forcing a recheck. Emptying the desto container completely, then putting the hand back, seems a light enough workload on the seller.

Necro just to +1 this, I hate trading in H&H because most of the time I see this BS:

If a stand is out of room or money then it should be visually apparent, or maybe the order shouldn't even show up on the damn stall. 100% failure rate of trading today.

This post was before yours, and was the one that came up when I searched.

Lots of great points in yours too though, I think overall the point is that trading stands need attention!

I doubt DEVs would do that and I don'te expect them to do. I just praise Not_a_cat that this was done. Second sun.


Imho I just would live with simple message when You open barter stand, there's red square or something indicating it's full without clicking.
