I'd like to choose which items I drop when I'm, say, mining and my inventory fills up. Today I auto-dropped a ruby and kept the metal I was mining. Before I could clear a spot, someone had snatched it! (And then kindly gave it back when I explained. I gave her ribs!)
If I'm overloaded and a tree gives me a salad, I'd rather keep that than the cherries or whatever I was harvesting.
Thanks!
