Organizing my Star Menu

I understand that you have a new version on the way to combine like items in the Star Menu. I really cannot wait for that. What I would like is to organize it the way I want. Specifically, it drives my slightly OCD brain crazy that the expedition supplier is sitting in between my Lucky Explorer and the rest of my Explorers. And I want to be able to order my geologists by most trained to least trained. Or just move the expedition marshals way to the bottom period, since I have found expeditions to be way too expensive or difficult to complete.

I'm sure I sound like a crazy person, but I'm just throwing it out there.

It has been suggested many, many times in the official suggestion thread. Why that thread is in the feedback sub-forum rather than the suggestion sub-forum, maybe we should suggest it be moved?

Hi there.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

The stacking feature will be implemented next week, you can find more information in the changelog.

I moved the thread to the Feature suggestions and requests section and left a copy of the thread in its original section.

I think the star menu should not put all the buff together because now when you go on friend island you have got to count how many buff you are putting on where as before you just knew you was only putting 25 on because that how they were in and game which mean you did not have to count them on all the friend you buff and as I do a few it is going to get really boring to do which to me is not what a game should be it should be enjoyable so please split the buff up again in to 25, I can understand why you have done all the other like it but not the buff.

Ugg, - 1, BB PLEASE don't change this back.

Maybe find some other way to assist people with counting placed buffs instead?

Oh no! I have to do math or worse yet... not care about what I give to a friend!!! :p

If you start at 4675 and end at 4575, you have used 100 buffs.

In addition to the slide bar for moving stacks can we have a move all button like the -empty- button for generals?

Just my personal opinion, but I think that having the slider default to ALL rather than "1" might be more useful when transferring a stack.

That would work too!

Disagree. Suppose you have 100 of something and you want to transfer 50 of them, and you make a mistake and immediately cick withut makng the adjustment to the slider. Let's examine the two possibilities, slider defaulting to "1" vs. defaulting to "all":

Default to "1" - oh well, now you have 99 left in stack, and you must do another transfer, but for 49 rather than 50. No biggie. You smack yourself in the forehead and move on. You still have the end result you wanted.

Default to "all" - you're screwed. The whole stack is gone and there's no getting it back. There is no way to get the end result you wanted.

Seems to me that defaulting to "1" allows for a second chance while defaulting to "all" doesn't. I prefer the option with the second chance, and so should every other player who has ever accidentally insta-clicked something.

I can see your point if you make a lot of mini-transfers.

Mine was simply that I cannot ever see a scenario where I'd want to transfer "1" of anything (say, from Star to Mayor's House), but I can see the scenario where I might want to transfer "all", so having the slider default differently might save some clicks. In either case, if you want to transfer half, you'd have to adjust the slider. But I do concede the possibility for human error is as you laid out and agree that leaving the slider as-is helps to mitigate that.

Now, my favorite thing with the new system - if you only have 1 of an item, the slider still shows up. :)
