Enter Key for Storage

LadyNymeria

A thread like this was made a while back by someone else, but in light of egg hunt season, I figured I'd bring it up again. I'm currently in the process of trying to store 300+ eggs in my egg carton because my inventory is at capacity. I would love it if we could just hit and hold enter to quickly put all the eggs, and any other items for storage, into the storage bins.

I agree 100%

They have already implemented enter + hold for the seed exchange in the greenhouse. I believe it is sporadic and only works in browser though.

Also; as of late has anyone noticed when attempting to push a stack of an item into a storage bin, you must click once, mouse off, and move back on? I swear this wasn't a thing until awhile ago when automatic stacking previews was implemented in trades/storage bins, etc.. 

Also the egg carton hasn't been updated to hold this years eggs yet.

Bulk placing/holding enter key hasn't been added to storage containers like the wood and seed exchanges.  That is a feature a lot of us are hoping will come soon!

@MaroonTealFlower I haven't noticed that, but if something is not working with your account you can always write a note to staff!  Maybe they can look at it!

By the way, I second your idea @LadyNymeria!

On the subject; 

Would be nice if Place Multiple Feature was extended.. so when you selected such; a popup would appear..

Place Multiple:

In Room (default location)

In Item (select a storage container to dump items into.. could use active object grid selection tool)

In Coordinate (select a x,y coordinate in the room by mousing over a tile. could use active object white grid hilights) 

Also Looks like Place Multiple max's out at 75. Even if you enter more than 75; only does 75. Same for buying in stores. I can understand why this was implemented in a way - but would be nice if client could just reissue calls in increments of 75 to attain the desired number and then the remainder for the final call.

This has always been the case for me, which makes putting things into storage even more frustrating. I can't just continuously double click to add stuff, I have to shift my mouse around too.

OOoo I like that expansion idea Maroon!  I would like the placing in room to be increased but I don't think buying should be.  I myself and others have bought 50 of something we didn't mean to lol And I think VFK limited it so people wouldn't complain so much.  Probably if it was 100 people would just give up and ask staff to undo their purchase when they made a mistake!  just MO

I especially like your second idea of clicking the storage unit you want the items in!

Thats a fair point about accidentally buying more than 75. I believe on certain items when buying I have been limited if the credit amount is more than a set default value. Some items in the game in stores dont let you buy more than say 30 at a time, at least when ive tried; such as the 50,000 Golden bonnets even in theory the max should be 75?? 

If anything the Place Multiple expansion is a better implementation for quickly putting things in storage units as you already have your inventory open. When you are having to open a storage unit.. you have to load your inventory and the storage unit inventory. Saves on server load. I think the enter+hold method is good for crafting/trades however.

Update:

Also with the clicking issue.. just did a trade. Appears that when you are in a trade you can just hover and keep clicking to add items into the trade. This is not the case for inventory/storage sheds.. gotta click, hover off, hover back on, click.. etc.. @VFK_Mintie was this intentional, maybe to make a delay into adding things to sheds to reduce load? just curious.

I've also had this problem. The thing is, I only have it when I'm on the downloaded epic ages. If i play VFK directly in a web browser, i don't have this issue. So i try and play it directly.

Could this possibly be just a small glitch on the downloaded version?

YES I noticed the problem of clicking on the same item, especially in Google Chrome and Epic Ages.

Agreed I despise having to put items back in their bins after room contests because it takes so long... even with an auto clicker.

Also for place multiple when it comes to trading items like eggs :)
