Make items group together

Items that go into the inventory should go into the bag where the same item is already present.

Often, I have to sort my bags because ore and other chunks ended up in all bags. Or I have to fill up bags I don't want stuff to end up in.

This could either be fixed by allowing to take a part of a stack from a slot (see other idea), or by making items group automatically. This way a few bags could be 'initialized' with the stuff that should end up there.

  • I guess I organize my stuff differently from most people.  For example I have 2 different bags, each one usually has a complete stack of each ore, earth, and other resources.  I like it that way, because I use one to keep a complete set of resources (for later storage at home), and the other to donate or sell and then re-fill.  I also have the items sorted in order of worth in currants.  I suppose I could change my system if the inventory had a different default sorting procedure, but I like being able to manage my items in a way that makes sense for how I play and where I want to find stuff.

  • Honestly, I just want stuff to go into the first available slot in THE BAG I HAVE OPEN.

    If I don't have a bag open, or it's full, then first available slot from the left is an OK default. But as it is... maddening!

  • The comments here demonstrate the difficulty in designing bag loading rules. There are probably 100 different ways Glitchens would like their bags loaded. Setting it up so there are variables (by bag name, open bag first, designated holders first, same bag as like items) would be quite a project. And no one would ever be completely happy!

    I have put together a manual system - defined bags (tool box, spice box, etc) are to the far left, so when anything comes in, it goes there first.

    My personally defined bags (each named by use) are on the far right.

    If there is room in an exisiting slot (only 35 meats can take 25 more), the new stuff goes to the existing slot automatically.

    If there is no partially filled slot, the stuff gets dumped in the open slot and bags in the middle of my pack.

    I try to move things out of there to the right bag as soon as they appear - further deposits of the same item will follow to the right bag until that slot is full.

    It sounds complicated but it really isn't. I only have one main slot and one "slop" bag that I ever need to sort through. If one of the defined bags gets full, I put the stuff in the "slop" bag until I use, store, donate or sell the excess.
