Default Resources stacking revisited

As title says: Let's look on preys , fishes and rodent parts....

They have this nasty annoying thing in common: they don't stack !

Before downtiering was introduced it was understandable but now seems a bit off.

Preys: if you go with skins there is no limitations what's so ever . Bones ? Yes I myself use tons to make potions and because limited space I trash low and medium tier I would normally use just to get rares so I can downtier them next day to get more mid-tiers.

Rodent parts ? Well here there is not much of inconvenience as those are not used as much

Fish : again no issues with scales but: if I gardening a lot and wanna make oils (I like to do it in town) I need tons of fish that takes my precious space . It obviously be easier to get stack of 100 t3 fish and head to town to boil your veggies.

I understand preys are super heavy and stack of it would make you unable to move but I believe something could be done to simply make resourcers life easier.

If it's not intended for those items to stack due bone controlling market or whatever reason maybe a "insta decay" way would be introduced ?

Why bones is way harder than skins?


Resourcers/crafters usually keeps masters and bunch of various materials handy around and every storage square is valuable.

If there is absolutely no way for "insta decay" option (a new skill that would let you do that would be great) then maybe let those 3 stack 5 or 10 ? It still would be a huge progress.


Again if you after lots of bones you forced to destroy low ones (even you need tons of t1) just to keep high tiers for decay so you can downtier them all the way down and get much more ( it's more wasted for hunting and then downtiering)

Any thoughts about it ?

And please don't use argument there is plenty on ah on S1 - s2 has none of those btw.

Just wish to say..trappers got it the worst. Not only does every trap need to be on a different square so can't boss farm unless it's after trapping.. each trap takes up 1 storage space and each rodent takes up 1 storage space. Between all these things.. really sucks.

I'm a hunter so I support making prey stack. I assume only reason they don't stack is cuz stacking bison irl is hard? I guess most other resources would just be a small pile comparatively speaking. Then again this is a game where you can parry your own 2h daze slash tho so. Guess realism is rather lose

Good point Blaze . Forgot about traps being all over the place.

Having traps take your precious storage space at least rodent parts should stack or at least you should be able to place whole stack you just pulled into inventory .

That would be middle ground . So you could fill up your storage /inventory space with stacks of 6/12/24 but they would not be stackable any further. You could move or uptier them like that instead doing 2 at the time.

Having acc/da should have that incentive IMO so after buying upgrades you have that feeling your resourcing becomes more effective.

And paid version SHOULD be better than free.
So far there is no difference between free accounts with no upgrades at all and fully upgraded premium accounts.

Sure you get more exp and spending less irl time but still using same amount of space and time waiting for resources to decay.

@Blaze :{ if you can fit 105 trees on 1 square I'm pretty sure you can bison or mongoose not to mention fishes and rat legs.... so yeah doesn't seem off...☺

I do support this only because I do resource fish, prey and rodents, and as a stonemaker, (not sure where brother fits all his mats) I like to keep a few variety of mats on each toon. That being said trapping and hunting imo are the most frustrating

Say I am running out of bones (I usually keep t15+ of all), 1 day worth of rrt I end up getting so many prey that I have to stop farming right in the middle of my session only because I end up having no space, or it would be too heavy to store into inventory. So I would need to wait for decay.

With trapping, it's kind of annoying considering I have 2 rows of traps, 1 row of sinew, 1 row of skin, 1 row of bones, and 1 row of free space and or trophy placement.

Maybe it's my fault I have 1 Toon that does both trapping and hunting, which makes it more harder for space since I can't stack either one of them. I guess that's why we have storage expanders but having resources not stackable and some heavy, make it Alot more difficult.

P TO THE R TO THE E & Y.
You're not a monk or w/e. It is prey not pray.

Yh cuz of storage expanders I really doubt glitch will implement this. Less monies.

Could be an alternate to storage/inventory expanders...

A resourcing pack/bag/case/cart/container which requires one(two or three?) slot and can contain raw resources only.

Many variations can be considered:
- weights become halved while inside
- can only hold specific type of resource (so different sack must be purchased for each type of resourcing)
- can only be used for those most difficult things that do not stack such as the traps, prey(not bones or skins, fish (not scales), etc...
- it can hold any resource with some stacking
- can specifically only be held in storage, or in town, or in inv
- can be an lg item(s) (even though I put effort into finding improvements for non caps :\)
- can be gift box item(s)

Anyone who resources and/or crafts have given thought to some kind of answer. I'm fine enough with how it all works and the realism of it >,> But yes there is frustration in it

Prey it is - lol had to manually correct it as my phone changed it to pray. Common Blaze - you know what I meant . Do you really want me to go through my posts and check it for spelling ? I'm super fast typer and I admit unless it's work related I cut myself a slack and don't bother to make it perfect.

Back to topic:

There is no difference between free and paid accounts if it comes to resourcing.

There should be a little incentive to it. Yes you get exp faster because virts and spending less irl time because acc/da but once you cap skills which free player eventually will as well what's there for fully upgraded account?

Personally I would pay extra to have it easier with PREYS turning to bones. I don't understand why it's penalized and limited vs skins ?

And rodent parts seems unfair as well.

If it comes to storage expanders : yes it's an option but reality is more space you have more stuff you will keep. I bough extra space and it's filled with masters , tp's I'm getting as drops (that I plan to make an item)

More likely Glitchless will ignore this post but deep inside everyone knows a little changes are needed to keep up with the game that evolved over years.

A minimum thing would be when you can put on one square what you holding in hand.

PS. I'm far away from monk 😉
