Make cables stacked!

[Pilot]

You need many cables for one project, so it would be easier to handle them same as coins

Edit: and logs too

[Rusalka]

I think every semi product could stack, and everything else that doesn't rot and has the same name. Even same uneditable notes.

[SekoETC]

How about same clothes? They won't deteriorate.

[Rusalka]

Yes, that includes clothes as well.

[Rumaan]

Aye

Since everyone agrees can this be moved to accepted?

Since we are moving towards more deterioration and customization (like dynamic descriptions) for many items I'm not sure I agree with that most items should be stackable. But for things like wires I agree, where you have to uses a large anount of objects in a project.

[SekoETC]

I doubt wires are going to need custom descriptions although at first the custom descriptions for everything seemed like a good idea. More like custom descriptions for everything not stackable, and withdraw the idea of stacking clothes... unless maybe if they don't have custom descriptions or have the same custom description then they could be condensed somehow. They could and should still be recorded as separate items, but it would make reading inventoried easier if they were displayed as stacked.

[Piscator]

I wonder what would be necessary to implement this. We probably could assign e.g. wires to the same item category as coins, but this might cause some undesired side effects and should be tested.

[EchoMan]

I definitely agree that changes should be tested.

I definitely agree that changes should be tested.

Move to accepted then?

[EchoMan]

As Seko said, they could be displayed as "8 copper wires" in the inventory, but still not be stacked. This could be done with all items in inventory (that is not customizable by names, tags etc, and are of the same quality).

Then when using a wire on a project, the inventory could be checked for more of the same objects, and just like raws:

"You have 16 copper wires, this project needs 8. How many would you like to add?"

[Pilot]

Yes , but the pain for players is also taking from the ground, passing to others and putting them back to the ground. 8 cables, 6 logs, etc. This kind of things are trading killers, not counting the visual contamination it generates in the events.

Why don't use the same option as for coins?

[EchoMan]

Coins can't really be used for anything, except taking, giving and dropping. Objects that can be used in projects may behave differently as (I think) Piscator wrote.
