[Suggestion] Move the MAX crafting button

32 votes

It's often more prominent than the craft button due to proximity
I found myself repeatedly hitting the MAX button instead of the craft button when in the crafting window, which suggests the UI is not immediately as intuitive as it could be.

Perhaps replacing the max button with a double >> and << to each side of the current arrows would be better as then you could have one take the number back to a single craft and the other takes it to max. There would also then be zero accidental clicks of the big button that's sharing screenspace with the craft button.

This I totally agree. Saw the video of you Splitsie frequently hitting the "Max" button, when you meant to actually craft the item. I've done it myself many times as well and hope the devs take your suggestion. Many other crafting-type games use the "<<" and ">>" to indicate "Min" and "Max" and if I saw those, I'd know to only hit those buttons if I intend to craft the maximum or minimum of an item.

I agree with this, using << and >> is simple and adds more flexibility

And have the amount of "to be crafted" items to one after using the max button (>>). Having to set it manually to 1 so you can craft other things is annoying and also somewhat dangerous, if you forget about it and end up crafting 10 doors after crafting 10 walls, because you forgot to set it back to 1.

As a suggestion put the "Max" button above the counter and the craft button right below. Most people normally move the mouse down because that's where the next action button usually is.

One option would be to put the MAX button at the top of the item amount field and leave required elements and craft below. I don't know how many times I accidentally hit MAX instead of Craft. I also know I'm not the only one because I've binge-watched some youtubers and dang near everyone did it multiple times. It's kind of funny to watch and hear them mumble about it, but not so much when you're the one doing it.
