There are some things though that might need fixing:

1.) Even though they differentiate between different boards by displaying different icons, they do not restrict it the way one would expect it, like, you put a dry board first, and then still can add a planed board on top, it is not really a problem, I just would assume it is a bug.

2.) Stockbins should be able to hold dross, also ore, woodblocks, and maybe even other things.

3.) There should be a button in the stockbin interface to fill it up instantly to the max, like using shift-scroll until it is either full or no appropriate items left in your inventory.



JC said Dross and Ore and other stuff is hard to do since they have Purity.

And as an unrelated sidenote: Digging dirt needs a fix, too, afaik digging equip does not do anything right now, which is sad. Also, by the sheer amount of traces of the lost colony one used to find while digging, I assume that now spoils mining too by adding huge madness all the time. Digging is a very basic and important thing though, that should not be punished above the huge amounts of time some serious digging costs already.

Yes coal is used to refill torch posts. but why not be able to store warped boards or wood blocks to refill the torch posts. The lime well lime and coal for smelting. Again we run into why not ore. Then fields well lime and coal were great for fields so maybe to help with fields. but now with the new system dross is useful so if it was to help with fields then dross should be added to the stock bin list.

Lime was originally added because so many people used so much lime in farming. Sure, lime can be stored in the boulder, but I guess John was feeling nice. With the change in fertilizers, it should probably be removed as stockable, but I doubt that will happen. All types of ore can just sit in the boulder until you're ready for them, or in the wall of your mine. Wood blocks can already be fairly compactly stored in the logs since those don't have a hit box and most people aren't going to store warped boards at all but replane them right away. I suppose the lime having been added mostly for the farmers is a good argument to now add dross...
