Show total amount of items near cursor instead of stack size

Post by Harkonnen »

Same, and especially for ammo. When I build something (e.g. long railway to far away) I don't care about stack size, I care if I am running out of it, so I don't have to run back to base when I was almost there. Yes, these can be moved to quickbar, but it's miles away from the focus of vision. Cases where stack size at cursor is important is only when you are puttting items inside a recipe slot or a chest, but even there it's not much of a useful info of how much would be put with shft-click or shift-right-click, or it can be shown in a form like "507 (100)"

+1, especially the "507 (100)" or maybe a "507 / 100" form. 👍
