Salem

Hello,

ive been having a problem for a long time now, especially when making walls

inventory
- 12 stone
4 granite

enough to make 4 wall parts, but alot of times he uses all 4 granite for the first part instead of 1 granite and 3 stone, is there a way to fix this?

i found usedull to put the granite in backpack but thats only a emergency solution.

anyone solution or is it a general Salem bug?

Signposts accept the most recent additions to your inventory first. To fix your problem you would want to chip your granite first then chip your stone. It isn't a bug it is just how the game works.

Put the granite into the sign first, then the stone.

EDIT: Was sleepy and didn't consider that it was talk about materials for several signs yesterday. =_= For this, what you would want to do is to get into the habit of manipulating the priority of materials from the beginning. With this I mean that you would want to get the granite first, then the stone last, whenever you go and pick up the materials. This ensures the stones will always be used first. So essentially what CottonMather said.

You could also shift-transfer your items over to your backpack and then shift-transfer back to give those items priority on the go.

Aye I'm just using backpack.

long time issue for sure, and I have always found it frustrating. I thought it would be easy to 'prefer' real stone first then alternatives (flint, granite, small stone, dross, etc). I tend to put the granite in my backpack and do those manually. (*note - this preference mechanic could actually apply to MANY things)

Personally I think every time this happens (you use a granite vs stone in your inventory) you should gain insanity in game because I know I do IRL. Just like crafting with inspirationals (using bough's vs sticks, etc etc), its a feature not a bug.

The lifo system does not make sense, I'd rather have a fifo system, but yeah once you are used to it. its easy.
