stack transfer via stack-split of items with stacksize=1 doesnt really work

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

stack transfer via stack-split of items with stacksize=1 doesnt really work

Post by joshinils »

when i try to put half of all the nuclear fuel from my inventory into another, it always transfers all it can fit, opposed to other items with larger stack sizes, where it splits each stack in half.

i guess this is because ceil(1/2) == 1, therefore it will take "half" of each stack, not one half if the total items in my inventory.
then this is not a bui per se, but gameplay wise this is unexpected, and the feature doesnt do anything useful.

1.21 GJ in a single stack is already overpowered, adding more than 1 item would make it worse.

And I don't see the fuel value being nerfed either.

Thanks for the report. That's a known limitation of the "transfer half of stack" if the stack size is 1. I don't see it changing.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
