Mortar ammo that sacrifices Concussion for other effects. Maybe it could cause concussion if it is a direct hit, but otherwise it hits the ground and the contents fly everywhere.

Can we please get different priorities objects used to build stuff? For example, stone. If I have 100 stone in my inventory I would much rather use that than the few granite I am saving.

But what if you wanted to use the granite? I don't find it reasonable that the game makes this decision for you.

But not being able to use granite removes some sandboxy aspects of the game.
Imagine a fellow pilgrim on him way back from a foraging trip. He has a little bit of granite on him that he wants to find a use for..... Oh wait it cant be used for that even though it is some kind of a stone :?

Yes, i like the general stone category. Just saying granite is a resource i think most would prefer to use as granite. But I'd rather have it in the general stone than not let us use it.

Because it would make things more predictable and make sense, why is it reasonable that the game chooses a substitute over the real deal. As right now I have to keep 'refreshing' stone so that it is the most recent thing added to my inventory. So, when I use the scroll-add thing, whenever granite starts to get used instead of stone I have to add 20 stone to my backpack and then re-add to my inventory. Just seems like a random inconvenience, but oh well i guess

why not store your granite away instead of using it?

Because when building boundary stones you need stone, granite, and lime (all of which can be used by stone...so fun). So it is easier to haul a cart behind you with a ton of boulders and have your lime and granite already in your inventory. But that is besides the point, why can't the stone just be used first? It is the least valuable resource and easiest to obtain in mass quantities, so it would make sense that one would want all of the stone to be used before any excess granite. It just makes more sense to me, but what do I know. I found a backend solution to my woes so I guess who cares for now. If one day I can just not worry about the order an item is added to my inventory then hot dog, but until then oh well

You know you can already make it so that your granite is never used above stone if you place it in your inventory the right way
