"Eat" button and similar ideas

I really like how the "Donate" screen works where it shows you all the things you could possibly donate and you just pick from them. I wish there were more things like this.

The biggest example would be "Eat." When I'm pooped or about to croak, it's a real pain going through ALL my bags to a) find out IF I have any food b) figure out WHICH food I want to eat. An "Eat" button with a dialogue similar to "Donate" that shows all edible items would be very helpful.

Second, I'd love to see some sort of automatic categorization abilities. It's very time consuming to sort items between bunches of bags. I'd love to be able to set a tools bag where anything that "makes" things would automatically be directed there. Similarly, a bag for anything that came from mining/harvesting/squeezing/nibbling/etc. Basically, functionality to set rules for bags the same way I'd filter my inbox.

  • great ideas! like .. super great! super useful!

    the problem with the "bag for fruit, bag for equipment" [which is what i do and works ok] is that you're constantly rearranging things as you collect and consume.

    the auctions sort by "tools, food, drink, other" .. i think sorting by those four categories would probably be enough. basically being able to bring up "shrine donation view" for those four categories.

    i would stay away from sorting verb tho. like i'd rather sort by "food" than by "eat". the main reason why is that there are a lot of verbs, and maybe i want to do something with the food other than eat it. but that's just a detail. sweet idea.

  • Maybe have two options for sorting: by noun (ie food) or by verb (ie eat)?

  • awesome ideas. I would like to be able to assign a purpose of holding for a bag, and have the item go right in it. Food, tool, etc.

    But an eat button would be fab.

  • An eat (and drink) option would be great :)

  • "Maybe have two options for sorting: by noun (ie food) or by verb (ie eat)?"

    i'd rather have just verb than both.

    two options for sorting with multiple sub-options within each starts turning the pack into a jet fighter control panel.

    another way of addressing this would be to have a search field instead of toggles, sort of like how on the iPhone there's a search field to find apps if you have too many pages full.

    if you searched "food" it would bring up everything labeled "food" and everything with a "food" verb or with food in the name or description. if you searched "eat" it would do the same with "eat". it would be a little less intuitive but much more flexible and expandable. like i could search "ore" to bring up all ores. as more items are added to the game with additional verbs and categories and such, sort by search would work automatically, instead of additional toggles being added and taking up more space.
