Make Decorations Stackable

Please make decorations and other in game items stack whenever possible.

There are currently a lot of decorations taking up much more space than needed in banks and containers because duplicates do not stack.
Identical copies of the same item should usually stack.

Please remove the Maker's Mark from all crafted furniture and decorations so they can stack.
Only crafted armor and weapons should have a Maker's Mark.

All dyeable deco should stack until it is dyed, like the dyeable eggs currently do.

----------

The only decorations that should not stack are:

- Armor, Weapons, and Tools with durability
- Decorations that have been dyed
- Trophy animals and fish with size data
- Replenishing items that track replenishment status
- Decoration Pets that can be renamed
- Containers
- Equipable items, such as offhand items and musical instruments
- Possibly writing materials, but hopefully a solution can be found to stack them, see below.
- Possibly planters, but hopefully a solution can be found to stack them, see below.
- Possibly drinking vessels, but hopefully a solution can be found to stack them, see below.

- Phonographs
Phonographs should be updated to hold audio cylinder(s) that have been inserted for playback,
instead of just playing audio cylinders from player inventory.
Countach Phonograph
Dual Wax Cylinder Phonograph
Ornate Dual Wax Cylinder Phonograph
Phonograph
Wooden Phonograph

- Animal skin rugs made with pristine trophy heads
If the pristine animal heads are updated with trophy size data,
then the animal skin rugs should scale with the trophy size.
(The Maker's Mark should still be removed from animal skin rugs and other trophy items,
since what's important is who caught the trophy, not who the taxidermist was.)
Animal skin rugs that do not use trophy head size data should stack.
Examples:
Cow Skin Rug (remove maker's mark, should stack)
Deer Skin Rug (remove maker's mark, should stack)
Patriarch Bear Skin Rug (remove maker's mark, trophy size scale, does not stack)
Timber Wolf Skin Rug (remove maker's mark, trophy size scale, does not stack)

All other decorations not listed above should stack.

Unlike other cooking ingredients, alcohol brewing ingredients currently do not stack.
They are usually created in large batches, and sometimes need to be stored until a batch of casks is available to make the alcohol.
So the alcohol ingredients end up taking a lot of extra space in containers.

Please make the alcohol brewing ingredients stack if possible:

Brittany Ale Ingredients
Drach Bock Beer Ingredients
Edelmann Beer Ingredients
Harvest Wheat Beer Ingredients
Perennial Red Wine Ingredients
Paladis White Wine Ingredients
2 Year Whiskey Ingredients
7 Year Whiskey Ingredients
25 Year Whiskey Ingredients

- Planters, make stack if possible:
Large Planting Bed
Medium Planting Bed
Small Planting Bed
Planting Barrel
Planting Pot

--------------------

Starting in R55, drinking vessels were made equipable and were no longer able to stack.
Could drinking vessels be changed so they are only equipable after being filled with a beverage at the cooking station?
Or could empty drinking vessels be updated some other way to make them stack again?
Please make empty drinking vessels stack again if possible.

- Drinking vessels, make stack if possible:
Ceramic Cup
Ceramic Goblet
Ceramic Mug

Release 55 Instructions
Discussion in 'Announcements' started by DarkStarr, Jun 27, 2018.
Merchant & Drink Adjustments for Brewing: As part of brewing we have made a few changes to drinks, drink containers, and merchant inventories. We have separated consumable drinks from equippable mugs. This means you can still equip an item that looks like a drink but it will no longer have anything in it. For instance a Mug of Ale will now be an actual consumable like food versus a Mug which you can equip and display. Merchants now sell both equippable/deco mugs and “cheap alcohol” that is shorter in duration than crafted alcohol.

Equipables cannot stack. There were previously two versions of the same items. A deco mug that stacked and an equipable one that did not. Now they can each be used as an equipable or a decoration and each items appears the same in the inventory.

If it can be equipped it cannot stack. These items were switched to not be stackable when the ability to equip them was added.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

 

Edited main post:
- Aether consoles (Aether Vibration Device) cannot stack since they can have unique radio station data.
- Phonographs should not stack if they are updated to hold audio cylinders.

 

You can't make crafted items that have a maker's mark (ie, the name of the crafter that made it) stackable. You would lose the uniqueness of that information when stacking.

Case in point...you can stack crafted beds and they have no maker's mark (doesn't list the name of the crafter that made it). But other items that have the crafter's name cannot be stacked.

 

From the main post:
Please remove the Maker's Mark from crafted furniture and other decorations so they can stack.
Maker's Mark is really only useful on crafted armor and weapons.

 

this is per account.

 

Yeah, remove the pointless furniture makers mark, solve 90% of this problem.

It is inconsistantly applied, the only thing holding for sure is that all furniture that has it is identical to the others (so the mark is pointless) and a giant pain to handle.

I begged for this years ago, back when antique furniture was coming out btw. Just another symptom of designing from afar but never playing the game you mAke.

 

As a furniture maker, I feel that's not cool at all. I take great pride in my work. Harrumph!

 

Edited main post, thanks!

 

You would be able to sell your funiture in stacks, instead of having to individually list them.

Plus, half the furniture has no mark anyway. Do you not like making the Canvas stuff because no one knows it is from you?

 

As long as items that can be dyed, are interactive, have writing (mouseover text), or have patterns applied retain makers marks, I'm fine with removing them from other deco pieces. They are generic enough, for the most part.

 

Canvas furniture can be dyed and has no makers mark. It is also much nicer to deal with because it stacks.

 

Ornate Elven Streetlamp does not stack as well but it does not have crafter name issue. Other streetlamps are stackable. Hope SOTA may allow stacking these items

 

Edited main post, thanks!

 

Again going to put in my two cents that furniture makers marks is a good thing, because furniture makers should be able to take pride in their work. Why should armor, weapons and fish plaques be the only items that get special treatment?

 

because those actually have individual differences. two antique chairs made by two different crafters are always exactly the same.

 

Because weapons and armor have stat points included in them that can change to the decimal, so someone looking for something crafted by the best in their profession can look at the decimal staat points, compare them, and contact the maker to have an item custom crafted.

For furniture, You, me, and everyone else here can make the EXACT same furniture, not even a millimeter smaller or bigger, we make exact copies, not similar, COPIES of the items, so what does the makers mark give me as info? That you own the recipe and you spent the time to craft it? If anything, it is the vendor that will attract me again, not the one with the (imo) pointless makers mark on that chair.

 

Take pride in your work anyway. But it's exactly the same as mine. And causing a massive inventory management headache.

 

Edited main post, thanks!

 

What if furniture makers marks could somehow be optionally applied by the crafter during creation or afterwards somehow, just not have it be on default and remove existing ones - everyone kinda wins?

Alternatively - what if there was a “mark remover” for furniture that people could utilize?
