More Item Count Choices When Using Resources / Ore

When using resources, donating to shrines, and many other interfaces we currently have options that look like:

All 730 | Just One | 10 | 20 | 30 | x

This is a real pain when dealing with Ore or other high count items. If I want to donate a bunch of ore I can't pick a few hundred, i have to pick it all or go by 30.

Likewise, when smelting Chunks of Metal Rock I can only pick 30, because I don't have the energy, even at max, to smelt the ALL option when there's a few hundred there.

We need more options here, or preferably just a freeform dialog like you get when selling to a spirit or many other dialogs for these same resources

  • This would also be really helpful when feeding animals. I only want to give a batterfly (or pig) 3 of whatever (potatoes, for example), but it's not an option if I have too many potatoes. My solution was to put the excess on auction at an unreasonable price while I was feeding and then cancel the auction when I was done. I felt like I was cluttering up the auctions by doing that though.

  • Yes this is very much needed. There were times when I wanted to crush 100 items of sparkly but not all and had to do it in bursts rather than in one go. +1

  • +1, particularly due to pig-feeding. I gave the pigs at my House names like Carrots, Cabbage, Potatoes so that I could remember who'd been fed what between One of at item and the other numeric options. Sucks to feed a Pig two of something then lose him in the mix and have to start over with one-by-one feeding. Despite being diligent, sometime the game lag or menu lag means other Pigs wander over while I'm trying to return-focus on the Pig I just had isolated.

    How about an option of manual entry in that list: All 730 | Specify | Just One | 10 | 20 | 30, etc.

  • Resurrecting this with the modification that I'd like to see numeric input being possible for all actions (feed, give, donate, crush...).  During the last test, I ended up losing 60 spice tree beans to an opportunistic Glitch when I went to make a donation to a shrine because I had a choice of donating some 80+ spice tree beans or a set number which was not what I wanted.  To say the least, it was a very negative and upsetting experience.  Not because I lost the beans, but because the game itself put me into a position of vulnerability.  If the game itself allowed numeric input, I would not have been put into a position of deciding between taking chance at losing my things vs. going home (a fair distance from where I was), dropping off some of my supplies, and going to the nearest appropriate shrine to donate to.
