Unstackable items being stackable with Elastispacer?

[Reiko24]

It bothers me.

Why aren't for example, tallbird eggs, stackable in an Elastispacer chest?

Is it because of the difficulty of implementing such storage for tools with different amounts of wear & tear, so Klei decided to make all unstackable items still unstackable?

Or something different? Like it doesn't fit their vision of the game? (which would seem pretty illogical to me)

 

I don't get it how an item that lore-wise makes "space stretch", and "bends laws of physics" (so basically stretches out space so much that you can store an infinite amount of stuff inside), can't make a Tallbird Egg stackable. It's pretty funny seeing that, since that would imply that a Tallbird Egg is extremely powerful, and can negate Elastispacer's space distortion and fix the stretched space, fixing the "bended law of physics" in the process. Are Tallbirds the true Them? (joke)

There are exception like ancient seed that determine from the start what seed it is and cant stack with each other. So either all of them become stackable, or none of them are, and adding tags to exception like this will make it more pain to deal with future unstackable items.

Other exception is bonded beefalo bell.

There are also exceptions like hatching tallbird eggs, items with limited uses, etc.

I mean, you can just make a failsafe that functions exactly like this:

If item has different parameters than an item of the same type (different state of hatching/usage) - don't stack.

It would even make new items stackable without any problems.

Code doesnt work like that. Maybe if you use chatGPT to convert that line to code, maybe. Each item has bunch of components, animations, skins, use a failsafe function to check all parameters right before putting items will just cause lag.

Best they can do is add another tag, "ElasticStackable" for example, for items that unstackable outside, but can be stack inside elastic chest. But that still require checking all existing non-stackable items to make sure they wont break the game when stackable.

And bunch of testing phase after that to make sure all work well.

Ofcourse i disagree with lots of unstackable item being unstackable, like unhatch tall birb egg (they should remain stack, and when they start hatching, they break out of stack (just like ancient tree gems geode)), elastic placer itself, restrained statics, ancient guardian horn. Making those stackable is much more legit than allowing them to be stack in one place but not the other.

I see. Well, that's sad.

They could make only exact same item stack, only 100% durability and only that skin

My idea is to add a new storage that would give like 36 (6x6) or 49 (7x7) slots and said storage could only hold unstackable items.

that's also a neat idea

Oh this would be so nice for holding clothing items. I use chests that are next to a Wardrobe to signify "This is where clothing goes" that would make it so much easier to distinguish.
