Stack stuff in the star menu!

[Durin_d]

As an alternative solution if this is too difficult to implement to Star Menu I could see a new building Bank. Bank would either automatically or with one button collect all the resources from Star Menu to its infinite (2⁶⁴-1) storage from where they could be transferred to mayor's house/storage. Resources could be transferred to Bank only through Star Menu, so it wouldn't enable any new ways to increase storage capacity, and resources in Bank can only be transferred to mayor's house/storage.

This isn't solution for buffs or adventures until those can be stacked in the same way as the resources.

+1 "one button collect all the resources"

This could take place automatically. When was there ever need to keep 10 titanium ore batches or 25 buff batches separate?

I want to keep my people separate! I don't want to add 1200 settlers when I only need 25. So either settlers wouldn't be grouped automatically, or I support the original concept of being able to do it manually.

Otherwise, great idea!

If you read what I wrote you should have noted I presented a split function with settler addition specifically mentioned. So even if your star menu has 8000 settlers, you can split a new slot with your desired amount (e.g. 25) and add that, leaving 7975 settlers. I think it's better to see the total amount you have rather than have tens if not hundreds of batches of small amounts in star menu.

oh yes please - although I wonder why stuff from explorers, log in rewards, etc has to go into star anyway, if there is enough room in storage for it. It is also maddening that like doesn't always go with like - surplus bought marble, loot marble and marble made in provision house don't go next to each other

Everything in star menu should stack automatically. It's irritating to have pages of single items like the choc rabbits, skunks, EFBs etc. It's annoying to scroll past a page of skunks or rabbits. It's also really annoying when you want some buffs using EFBs or potions to trade them 1 at a time. What's the point. Combine them in the star menu then we can just click on it, slide up to how many we want and trade 10 of them in 1 trade.

When you click on something and the mayor house to use it (like King-Fero's example 8000 settlers) it would have a slider for how many you want to use. So click the 8000 settlers, click the mayor house, slide up to 50, add 50 settlers, 7950 go back to the star menu.

Very nice, i was about to suggest stacking of the star items Would be very nice to stack all of the rabbits or bookbinder glues into one icon, and also for the adventures and other items. I don't see a reason why this isn't allready done, except making people do more work to keep them in the game longer...

This is long overdue! Please add it BB!

We need the ability to stack items, and the solution mentioned in the OP is very neat, and easily possible.

Inherently though, this then means we need a feature that allows us to split stacks into smaller ones, although I don't think this is as necessary, just would be nice.

I love the possibility of selecting multiple items in the star menu (see the OP), so that they can be transferred to storage, but again, if we can merge stacks, this would be less necessary - just would be a nice addition.

as much as i like this idea and wish they would add it, i fear BB are not interested in making the game play faster, or making menial tasks quicker to do. The game seems based around copious amounts of tiny tasks that consume time.

Takes me an hour or 2 each morning just to get my island back to efficiency. If they made this less tedious I would use my time to do more enjoyable things. For now I am slowly getting sick/bored of doing "up keep" all the time. My entire purpose for now is to try and automate things, by getting silos, watermills etc. But they are so expensive I fear I will quit the game before I manage to get all these things that make the game less tedious. (sorry for going slightly off topic)

Great idea and very useful indeed. I like surprises so I opened a lot of boxes (I really wanted the Dark Castle so that took a lot of boxes) and it has become very hard to find things in the star menu (especially in the Misc section).
This idea has my +1
