Thread: Crate Splitting!

Just thought I would let you know that when I was doing some stuff on Test today it looks like they added Crate Splitting! Default action when you doubl-clik a crate over there now is that it brings up a slider interface to split the crate however you like. Pretty cool.


Also it looks like you can put the crate itself into the schematic now and it will automatically pull the number of items it needs from the crate when creating the prototype of manuf. schamatic.


Just thought I would let you all know since it was a part of the Factory issue that's gotten a lot of requests recently.

Woot, Zarlor!



Anyword on combining/recombining crates/items? I've accidently pulled out too many items from a crate that just took up room in my inventory. It would be nice to be able to recombine the extras back into the crate..

Uh, so WE don't want it, and YOU don't want it in for PvP--then why is it still there??

I don't think that is possible (probably a lot harder to code, actually). I didn't try it, though.

Heh, I figured it was a pipe dream but since we can do it with everything else (organics, inorganics, etc) I was hoping they just recycled their code instead of reinventing the wheel for a 2nd or 3rd time..

Great news.


One request: Could you provide some feedback that it would be better for the default option to be remove an item from the crate and not to split. I carry a crate of Stims for healing in the field, and it would be terrible to have it pop up the split dialog when I'm in a pinch.

That is sweet news. It's nice to know that such a response came from a topic I started.
