Title: Simple suggestion: Stack Radios
Post by: Longinus on August 23, 2010, 12:32:11 pm
Make radios stackable items. It makes no sense to differentiate between radio a and radio b when they don't have a deterioration rate anyway!

This will free up time for people that need to barter. Obviously, you don't have to scroll through thousands of radios anymore, sometimes without even knowing whether you reached the end of the list or if there's just a lot of radios in a row.

They dont have deterioration but they have different channels. Don't you think?

Channels can be changed. They should not be a reason to not stack the radios. Radio a on channel 0666 can function the same as radio b which is broadcasting on channel 1110, as long as you switch it. That points is rather moot. Channel also doesn't influence price, either.

Technically, radios with different channels are different items and can't be stacked.

Yet, it should be possible that the radio item should be destroyed in the process of trade and a new default one should be created, which will be put in a stack.

Devs, please comment.

You cant see the channel before you buy it. Anyway, buying a radio for its channel is ludicrous. When you buy a radio in a shop IRL you dont buy it because someone set it to some radio station LOL

Yes, once a radio is sold it should be returned to a default channel (by destuction and replacement with a new one)

Not sure, but I think they already have, and, currently, game mechanics (engine, I think) doesn't support it or something because of the different channels.

But yeah, if radios that have the same frequency could be stack-able, that'd be great.

Well if we will have zillions of them eventually theyll stack up. Great :p

So what's the matter? If you can't reset the channel, destroy the radio and create a new default one.

How should I know? I'm just saying I don't think it is possible right now, but it is nevertheless a good idea.
