addedNEW FEATURESNew bundled/stacks and organized storage - Bundles for branches and reeds. These can be placed anywhere and can also be carried. - Stacks for logs
addedNEW FEATURESNew left arm carry bundle - this allows villagers to carry multiple loose items under their left arm on the side (eg. tools, branches), or against their stomach (eg. pile of stones, mushrooms) increasing their default carry capacity
addedNEW FEATURESContainers now utilize item size and volume - all items have a defined size and volume, all containers have restrictions on what size/volume items they can accept. This reduces as items are added to the container. There is no restriction on the number of items, only by size/volume. For example, you cannot put a log from a tree in your backpack, but you might have 100 chisels.
changedNEW FEATURESInventory UI is working (press I to toggle) - drag/drop to move or equip items between containers and item slots
addedNEW FEATURESNew action stage (press/hold E) when picking up items that can be equipped (weapons/tools etc), default is to equip item, second choice is equip into inventory (need right hand free)
addedNEW FEATURESNew logic when villagers are dropping off items to storage, if they are carrying a single type of product (eg. all logs) they will prefer to drop off at a storage container that only allows that type of product (eg. stack of logs storage)

NEW FEATURES

  • New bundled/stacks and organized storage - Bundles for branches and reeds. These can be placed anywhere and can also be carried. - Stacks for logs

  • New left arm carry bundle - this allows villagers to carry multiple loose items under their left arm on the side (eg. tools, branches), or against their stomach (eg. pile of stones, mushrooms) increasing their default carry capacity

  • Containers now utilize item size and volume - all items have a defined size and volume, all containers have restrictions on what size/volume items they can accept. This reduces as items are added to the container. There is no restriction on the number of items, only by size/volume. For example, you cannot put a log from a tree in your backpack, but you might have 100 chisels.

  • Add new input/feature to toggle viewing some construction item preview models. This helps with things like stockpiles that show a preview model (eg. stack of logs) when being placed, but the preview is removed once construction begins. This toggle allows you to see the full model versions which is helpful when placing other stockpiles and building pieces. Default is the "O" key
