Please make this stack!!

Yes all cooking ingredients should.

Not just cooking ingredients, ALL stackable items should stack !!

And, also, please, FIX those stackable items which have issues preventing them to stack !!

I have in a character's bank box, FOUR different types of lockpicks, and this only to make an example, which won't stack with one another !!

And I could name other items which "should" stack but, whatever the reason, don't....

Thanks.

Add Blackrock to the list and tiles.  I have 12 grass tile stacks.

And tasty treats!! The cadellite tasty treats stacked and did a very similar thing so why not make the regular ones stack too?

I agree those all should stack, but I'd recommend just getting rid of some of those lockpicks.  They cost so little, you could just stick with a stack that actually works instead of hanging onto 4 weird stacks.

That being said, I've seen this happen with potions too.  The exact same potions won't stack for no reason.

@popps use comm deeds to make them all the same

I use Taste ID on my crafter to stack all looted potions at the end of an evening's PvP. When the Taste IDer has recognised the potions, they all stack.

They already stack, but since their graphics are the gems, they have 9 stacks. they just need to take it down to one type.

Some of that older blackrock no longer spawns, and I think most of the newer mined stuff only comes in a few types, so should stack easier.

That is not the point (getting rid of lockpicks because they are cheap...).

The point I am trying to make, is that stackable items should STACK without being subject to these bugs !!

What if this was to happen to more expensive items as lockpicks ?

As I see it, items that can be made stackable should be made as such and their "stackability" should WORK, and not produce different variations of the same item which then so not stack with one another thus forcing players to have to have multiple stacks of the same item....

Want another example ?

Seeds.

They stack when thrown inside of a seed box BUT, when taken out of a seed box, they ONLY stack inside of a character's backpack, NOT in a secured container of a home....

I found that out, when trying to make room in a seed box and taking out of that seed box close to a thousand of seeds that I had of the same kind... of course, so many seeds do not fit in a character's backpack who cannot hold them.... so, I tried to do in "in steps" taking out 300 at a time... unfortunately, when I went to place the 300 x 3 seeds stacks I took off from the seed box in my backpack in 3 different picks from the seed box, when I went to drop them into a secure with my displeasement I found out that they created 2 different stacks of 300 SAME seeds rather then
a single stack of 900 seeds.....

And the same thing also happens with fish steaks that come as loot on Charybdis.... sometimes same steaks stack,but sometimes they do NOT and produce different stacks even though they are the exact same steaks.... oddily enough, this problem I did not notice (so far), with fish/lobsters/crab meat that also spawns on Charybdis corpse.... so far, they different corpses' spawned meat as spawned with same type..... how come this difference ?

Anyways, my point is that this should not happen. What is happening with these other items is the same that is happening with my lockpicks which created 4 different stacks, and I can guess that there is more items which have the same issue, only, that I have yet to bump into them...

We have stackable items ? Then they should ALWAYS stack..... this is the point I am trying to make.
.
Also, why Blackrock Stew does not stack ?

And why we cannot stack also same type/color fishing nets ?

Or why cannot we stack up Power Crystals, as just another example that can be made ?

Shall I keep going on with more and more items which could well be made stackable being all the same but are not ?

THAT is my point.

Working on items stacking should be, to my opinion, a # 1 Priority to help out players with bettering their storage (or lack of) issues....

Id love the Peas you have to buy from the Cooking vendors to come stacked! To make wasabi it takes a lot of peas!  
i agree things need to be made to stack.  As for the grass tiles.. put in a plain bag and go to brit use the chest at the jewelry shop wall and drop in. It will make it 4 stacks.  The potions bit i have gotten use to using taste id in my combining pots.  on one alchemist he has gm taste now.

That is very dangerous!  If I were to put my stacks in the box, most would go poof.  It supposedly works for tiles that do not stack, but I am not taking that chance.

Kyronix answered a post about it in the bugs section. Read in here:

I got brave and combined my snow tiles.  I had 80 that did not stack and 8 stacks.

I started with 4 that didn't stack, that worked. Then I did 10 at a time they all came out and stacked with the ones in the bag of 8 stacks.   I put aside the 4 stacks with the lowest amounts. I put one tile from each in the bag and they all came out and stacked with the main four.  

So, that saved me over 80 storage spaces!

Make sure you only put single tiles into the stacking chest.  And don't confuse  a public trash can chest with the tile stacker chest. hehe

My 8 stacks of grass tiles are all between 11 and 13 tiles.  So I cant tell which 4 are the correct stacks so I am not going to try to combine those.

yes and let you be able to purchase lot of them at once.
I can use my beetle to take them home.

I have to agree, I would love to have these stack.
Also the cocoa liquor.
Or give us a spice box.
works like a seed box, but holds food.
And only uses one storage.

I know the DEVs don't want us to hoard stuff, but there are players who gather lot of cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, etc just to be able to make chocolate nutcrackers for the holidays.



currently i have them in one container, so I know where they are.
But would be much nicer if we had a special container to put them in.

When I'm out fighting and see these on corpses, I always loot them.
It means one less that Mrs Claus doesn't have to make.
And because they don't stack, it takes up more space.
Also you can't insure them.
I can't even begin to think of how many have gotten stolen from me when I die.
(Sorcerers Dungeon during the Treasures of, got lot stolen lol)

A special container for cooking ingredients  would be incredible. Currently my cooks bank box is packed from all of the ingredients.  I always wanted a cooking area in my house for BODs but that is out of the question. 

The ingredients we have to buy to make fish steaks do not stack.

OOO i like the idea of a spice box...   they want people to play but if you need a ton of storage just to cook stuff it kind of puts a damper on it.  
Spice box 
Meat locker (meat fish and foul)
Fridge (keeps the milk, cheese and eggs cold)
Hmm 1 lock down per  holds 5000 count Like seed box keeps my kitchen off the lag zone.
I like it!!!   Cindy your a genius

While you are at it, either remove the sweet cocoa butter BoDs from the list of BoDs available to newbie cooks or give us an easier way to get cocoa pulp. At least 40% of BoDs received with a new character are for sweet cocoa butter. It takes 18 days to grow a tree to full resource. What newbie is going to be able to do that? No one sells it because it takes too long to grow the resource.

hmmm  I do put the pulp on my skill gaining vendor. It sells out quickly. As you said 18 days and even with all my garden beds full of the trees its a long haul to keep up.  My son looks at my shipments with the pulp and shakes his head...  as in his opinion its not what he would ship off.

Cooked pizza and three tiered cakes should stack as well.

I have tried many days to buy it, but people tell me it is not worth it to grow for sale. Plus, I do not think I would pay a high price (for all the headache to grow it) just to fill up bods to turn in for better ones. 9 more days till I get 8 trees with pulp. Even then, I may just save it for a rainy day & trash the cocoa butter BoDs.

It makes no sense that after years of hoarding High Seas junk I can easily have 60k cabbage in a stack and it's ok, but someone else can't have 158 cocoa in a stack. I fail to see the game breaking effects this would cause.

@Estel_Randir Which shard are you on?  I have several hundred pulp on Pac.

But.....   We live in an age where there is no power to make the fridge cold.  I foresee a hamster quest to run the wheel, that powers the fridge that cools the eggs...  All in the house that Lady Storm built

Water Wheels produce electricity.
before that, they had giant chunks of ice that would keep ice boxes cold.

==================

we need a fridge or spice box.
its one thing that i thought was missing from the Kitchen set.
(but I'd rather it actually be used like a seed box)

Also I was surprised that the Kitchen set didn't have a coal bucket or poker set to go with the wood stove.



i used a switch, which sorta resembles what i wanted.

A spice rack or whatever is a great idea.  Something to keep the paragon ingredients in and to hold the sauces for fish pies would help since those do not stack.

I totally forgot the fish pie stuff...  I dont know about your house but I have a steam driven power distribution system...  and water wheel/pond

Plenty of Power in UO.

I see we think alike, Wind power and solar with the steam system

GL. I really think it is a waste to use such an uncommon resource for the purpose of just trying to get better BoDs anyway. I will most likely just trash those BoDs. I do not have an overwhelming reason to use them for chocolate either. Maybe one day there will be a reason other than the novelty of it. Thnx tho.

non stackables:  cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, Mento seasoning, Samuel's Secret Sauce, a bottle of wine: used for making Silver Serpent Venom & color fixative(used for natural dyes)

if they can't be made stackable, then give us a spice box to hold them in.

I second this.
