New Upgrades for Inventory Management

Hey everybody. We have just released 2 new upgrades to help with inventory management: Stack Up and Internal Sortitude.

Stack up will combine non-maxed item stacks in your pack to minimize the space used by all of your items.
www.glitch.com/upgrades/per...

Internal Sortitude will allow you to categorize your bags. If a bag is categorized, any items you acquire that match that category will automatically go in (assuming there's space). For example, you can categorize a bag for emblems and any emblems you pick up will automatically go in that bag. The categories will not prevent you from doing what you want; you can still place whatever items you want in whatever bag you want, but the game will be smarter at where it puts new items picked up.

Once you've acquired these upgrades, the options will become available in the bag's menu.

Enjoy,
Tim

  • I'm really confused about the Food category. So far these items do not seem to fit:
    Butter, Cheese, Tortillas, anything made with the Saucepan, Honey, Buns, Flour, Pickles, oils and Oily Dressing, and any of the fruits.
    I think the Food category may need a bit of tweaking.

  • Following on Zany Serendipity's comment.  Maybe some food subcategories?Maybe Sauces and Jams could be a category? (Anything made with a saucepan)
    Cooking Ingredients for honey, buns, tortillas, pickles, mushrooms, etc?  Anything you can buy from Uncle Friendly that is not already in a category.  Maybe cheese also, but:
    Milk Products could also cover butterfly butter and all cheeses
    Fruit might be useful for some people also, although I just make mine as I need it mostly.

  • I noticed something that I'm hoping maybe could be added at some point.  I tried at an earlier point (before these upgrades) to unsuccessfully manage my bags and had renamed some of them.  I often change what bags are used for depending on what I'm focusing on, that requires a name change.

    Now with the upgrades I saw that if your bag hasn't been renamed, that it takes on the name of whatever category you assign to it.  That is awesome.  Unfortunately I have only a few bags that were never renamed.  Could there eventually be a way to return the bag name to default, or by renaming it what it was originally named, that these bags could too automatically take on their category?

    Thanks   ~ Kae ^_^

  • This is excellent, amazing, phenomenal, wonderful!  I do find myself wishing for a way to put multiple categories in one bag, just in case you want to add awesomesauce to the bowl of awesome you served. :-)

  • I lurve how TS listen to the users - what an amazing team :) 

    Very rarely have I heard people complain about new changes/innovations, cos TS have already thought it through - keep it up :)

    That is all.

  • Does Magic Sort work on one bag, or all of them? 

    Encyclopedia says: "Automatically swaps items around across all your bags so that the distribution of items most closely matches your bags' specializations"

    The UI refers to a bag. not all of them. e.g. "You have sorted your bag quite magically!" 

    And it seems to work for just one bag, grabbing things from elsewhere that belong in it... 

    So I think the Encyclopedia needs changing?

  • Weeeird. I think the Encyclopedia should stay the same and the sorting should change. What do YOU think?

  • That would be much sexier!

  • I would totally love it and be incredibly grateful if there could be a 'food + drinks' category and another for 'potions'!

  • I think that Magic Sort should absolutely stay the same - it's far too overpowered as it is, so I can't use it on some of the categories I've set up.  For instance, I've got a special bag where I keep some of my special things, such as music blocks that I've put aside because they are special and/or I especially like the tune.  And I learned the hard way that having another bag sorted for music blocks is fine to capture incoming blocks, but if I try to Magic Sort that bag my special blocks will all get swept up into the non-special bag and I have to try to rearrange my special bag and it is generally a huge pain.  But I *do* like to Magic Sort my bag of cards or emblems.

    The other way that the Magic Sort is too powerful is that it puts the right things in the bag, but it also removes 'wrong' things from a sorted bag, which seems to cause minor chaos in an undetermined number of other bags.  I just can't imagine how confused I would be if Magic Sort worked on all the bags at once.

    I understand that it's not possible to make more fine-grained categorizations right now, which is what would make Magic Sort really work for me, but I would also really love a way to exclude a particular bag from having its contents magically sorted into a categorized bag.

  • agree re: encyclopedia staying the same and sorting should change. it would be nice if it sorted across /all/ my bags at once!

  • Something similar to what katlazam said occurred to me earlier... it will be especially annoying for things that are currently not covered by categories.  But, the upgrade doesn't quite offer enough "just tidy up my bloody inventory"-ness that I'd like. I think mainly where I've got 2 bags of the same category and it doesn't group things across those bags.  e.g. I have Peat in 2 manufacturing bags,  I tidy one,  it won't grab the peat from the other bag.

  • We need a "lock bag" option, which would keep the contents free from sorting/stacking/donating/dropping etc. 
    Posted 97 days ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Great suggestion, Pascale! The removal of 'wrong' things from sorted bags would still be mildly annoying, but a locked bag*, the contents of which were exempted from a magic sort, would be just the thing to make this feature work for me.

    * or other non-bag or bag-like container
