Item Slider tic-marks
« on: December 16, 2018, 05:04:35 PM »

The new system where picking up, say, supplies, snaps to even units is, overall, very nice.  However, it's really annoying to try to get 6-9 of an item.  Say you need 20 heavy machinery, and you have 11.  Picking up nine isn't possible using the slider.  It would be nice if it didn't start snapping to specific numbers until after 10.  I think I might also want snap to units of 5, at least up to 25?  Not sure on that one, though.

Easiest thing to do if you want 20 in your example is to "sell" your stack of machinery, then buy back 20. Or you could buy a stack of five, then a stack of four.

Hmm - added extra tick marks at 15 and 25; I don't want to add too many more as it starts to make the bar too wide.

To get 9, btw, you can also select 10 and then shift-right-click over the stack to drop one unit. Or select 5 and shift-left-click 4 times, I suppose.
