I would love to see flowers go into a stock bin. like 1k of them or something to mass store flowers. I am sure someone has already suggested it but the more that do the better the odds we will get it so i am doing my part :P

Eh, disagree... It's already easy enough to right click spam coal in and they'd have to come up with some funky new type of interface to permit that.

If its easy for you, set up 20 smelters, ex. 3 times per day like me ¦] Its annoying xD
etc. etc. I mean, for normal user this is whatever, but not for smelter man ¦]
Its not new mechanism, just like small stockbin for 15 coal in ore smelter

No I get that small improvements benefit at scale, but is mashing the right click button really that much harder than opening something and mousescrolling 15 times? The thing is that stockbins don't also have an arrangement area for you to put objects in. I don't think anything has both a stockbin-like item counter and an arrangement area. Plus once you put fuel in you can't take it out, which isn't like stockbins/construction. I could imagine them being side by side and the scroll working kind of like construction where it's whichever you're mousing over, but just doesn't seem like it'd be a good place for dev hours to go.

So maybe add new item "15 coal pack" to made, and then, we can put 15 coal with one click ? Without change mechanism

Maybe, though even for someone with 20 smelters who ran them 3 times a day when you subtract out the time it takes to make the items it'd probably be less than a minute a day of saving :P

Alternatively, it could simply grab 15 coal from your inventory when you successfully light it otherwise error saying you need 15 coal to light it but it seems confusing. Anyways, I'm guessing the dev reply would be something along the lines of "making metal isn't supposed to be easy" :lol:

It would be awesome if the inventory window was of X size (or capped at X size) with a scroll bar, so it wont cover your whole screen and hide stuff beyond screen range.
