Organizing Bags - Suggestion

To any true Glitchen, organizing bags is a daily task, and major pain in the rear at times. I'd like to suggest that an option be added in your bag menu that allows you to "stack" items. Clicking "stack" will pull the number of that item from other bags that is needed to make a full stack of said item in that bag slot. So if you have ten jellisacs in one bag and ten in another, you can click on one, hit "stack" and it will combine the two into one bag slot. 

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it as clearly as I'm thinking it, but I think you get the jist of it. It would simplify bag sorting by leaps and bounds, in my opinion, if it's something that's technically possible to implement.

Thanks for reading :)

  • How about making this suggestion in the Ideas forum?

  • Thanks, just did. I'm new to the forums thing. I didn't realize there were separate categories. lol. I think this is only my second post. ;)

  • If you just drag the jellisacs from one bag to the other, they'll automatically stack if they can.

  • I've been dumping EVERYTHING at my house and just carrying tools. Much more a free lifestyle. Luff it.

  • I use a storage box for doing just this!  Keep one free and when you want to pull everything together just put one of the items in the box and it will pull the rest out of all the bags you are carrying.  Then you can put them away and put the next item for sorting into the box!

  • I have a nightmare vision that when the housing is reset all the stuff I have in every storage box (and I have used every one!) will be in a heap on my floor!  :-(

  • I have been using the SDBs (storage display boxes) for regular incoming items, that way I can just empty everything out into those, rather than sort into piles of bags.  It really makes regular/daily bag organising much quicker & easier imo, & I'm looking forward to when we can craft our own SDBs so I can have one for each regular incoming item (1 for each tree crop, grain, meat, milk, etc, etc).

    Jolycan, I've been a little concerned about what will happen to the items in our SDBs too!

  • I am less concerned about what shall happen to stuff in SDB (as TS has always been very good at treating players great and making transitions easier than one could hope for). I am more concerned with the frustration players will express when they can't have that many SDBs right away. Or even the wall space to put them!

  • Can you put items into SDBs while you're still carrying the boxes in the Furniture tab? Or are you saying that you are dropping items into SDBs once you get to your imagi-house?

  • Ditto, LBO.
    Also, how long will we have access to the moving boxes? If there is unlimited access to them, can't they be abused?

  • It does kinda suck to think about the fact that we'll have totally un-upgraded houses once we switch, after having so much space and so much stuff....we're all going to be swimming up to our eyeballs in glitchen goods. lol

  • True!  But, on the other hand, it will give us all goals to work towards for a while.

    I know that my final house will not look like what I've currently built, nor will the street or yard, but I do want to create something grand, and still try to make it as sublime as possible while it's humble, too.  That challenge excites me more than all the wealth I can gather with my resources leading up to that point.

  • We have not been told any details about the moving boxes.

    If I were king, moving boxes would exist permanently until emptied; things could be removed from them at will but could not be put back in.  They would be furniture, and as such not accessible anywhere but at home.
