Intelligent Stacking

So, currently if you have a Spice Rack or Elemental Pouch, and you make/find/extract more of an item, it stacks into the pouch. But not if you have a generic pouch.

I realized I spent a LOT of time stacking things on my own. I basically had a "Tool" pouch, a "Food Ingredients" pouch, and a "Food/Drink" pouch. But if I had, for example, 6 wheat in a pouch and I got more - it shows up outside of the pouch. This fills an empty slot, and I have to end up dragging it to the right pouch (sometimes blindly) and stacking it manually.
This was a rather annoying task, as having Cherries and Bubbles in a pouch made it really easy to fill up 4 slots at a time. And at one point I accidently had wheat in 2 pouches without realizing, and picked up another. So that's 3 slots for 3 of the same item that stacks easily.

As said in chat, there was the idea for a "Not Having Your Eggs In One Basket" badge. But really, I don't see why this "feature" exists. If it's not crucial to the mechanics to have autostacking on everything, then why not? Saves lots of time.

  • I completely agree. If items could automatically stack with their own kind in pouches, so much time could be saved. It really does all add up, and it's frustrating to discover a few hours later that your inventory was not actually full - rather, you just had three stacks of the same item in three separate pouches.

    On the flip side, I'm sure plenty of people have benefited from my droppings when I'm under one of those false "full inventory" assumptions. :)

  • just being able to label a pouch would be aweome, or color code it.

  • Auto stacking of similar items would be great...I hate dumping on ground to reorganize only to find out as stated above , mismanaged counts in various pouches.
