easier item selection (for nest crafting, raffle studs, etc.)
Posted 2021-07-30 05:12:01 (edited) #498750 Hi! short version: the 200-item limit is super inconvenient in nest crafting and raffle studs bribe selection. Please show stacks of items instead of individual ones, or a search function, or whatever is used in pup training item selection? long version: So I just entered for the raffle stud and I bet a blue jay feather: because it's one use, and because the first letter is B. That's a lousy reason to choose this item, since I'd rather keep thirty-ish of them in case I can use them for crafting someday, but I only have the choice between five-ish item types when you show the first 200 items. That's super inconvenient. Now I could bury stuff, but then what if I want to craft recipes, or give an acorn in explore? When I need one item, I'd rather interact with that one item than with all the ones I don't need (twice! once to bury them then to unbury). There is a super easy way to fix this though (well, seems super easy from the outside ^^). Just show the item type. Like in the raccon's stacks view. And automatically take one, like with the quests (while the quests seem to use in priority the one-use items, and crafting should too, raffle studs should use in priority/only allow full-use items). Now with crafting you need ten items, not just one. No problem: add a small field to show how many items of this stack you want to select. Other possibility: only show the first 200, but add a search function that can search through all of your inventory. Other possibility: Whatever system is used in pup training's 2h lessons item selection, which lets you choose among your whole inventory, use it there too. No parts of the game other than nest crafting and raffle studs come to mind that have this issue, but there may be more I just can't think of now. It looks like it'd need only slight tweaking on the programming side, using already existing stuff, almost no UI work, and be a small but very pleasant usability improvement. Thanks, have a nice day!

Yes please.

I usually save 1 use feathers from playing to craft nesting material. If I save Owl Feathers, that means I have to first handpick all crafting material, bury THOUSANDS of items, make my hoard a total mess, then craft what I need and spend another 15 minutes unburying all herbs, cave materials and feathers I didn't want to use and are in the alphabet before O.

Alternatively, it can still display only 200 items, but the searching function could search through all items, even the non-displayed ones. So if I write Owl Feather, it won't show me no match because my screen is full of Acorns and Blue-Jay Feathers, but will actually show the Owl Feathers.

Huge support! The system currently in place is a big inconvenience and I would love to see it improved.

Also it seems like the pup training item selection for 2h lessons doesn't have that 200 items limit? So, uh, whatever system is used there, maybe you can just use it in crafting or raffle stud item selection too?
Editing the first post to include this and Mima's search suggestion.

I got my first snake quest for herbs, and it has the same 200-items limit.
I don't want to give up valuable aloes when I have about 15.000 yarrows (not literally), and burying all my herbs just to unbury them afterwards seems super wasteful.

I guess it may apply to other snake quests too if there are any with the same broad categories (maybe amusement?).

I agree. Especially with nesting, I get SO frustrated. I have bury so many items to get to the 1 use items I want to craft with it is such a process. And then I need to UNBURY everything I've just buried it frustrates me so so so much I try to do it as little as possible by crafting as much as I can at once. It would be nice to not have to bury everything or maybe stack what u do want to use to put it in a separate portion of your hoard, idk or in some other way indicate that those you are what u want to craft with so ur not burying every herb and feather u have until u get to what u want.

Maybe a button with nesting mats stating "turn into nesting item"? Then in crafting, we could use the nesting item to make the nesting material. If it will make this easier than burying half of my hoard, I'm fully up for doing few more clicks.

I cannot keep burying all my herbs to get to what I want to craft with it is beyond annoying. And now I have to figure out this remnants thing too apparently we have use remnants to craft??
