[Suggestion] Splitting stacks by number

164 votes

Maybe adding a slide rail or something to choose how much you want out of the stack. I like grabbing what I need for crafting and not have extra after.

Ability to split to specific values; look at most games’ ability to split stacks. There’s an option for splitting a specific number that you enter. When I want 1 of something, I don’t want to split the stack of 100 fifty times

Definitely this. Sometimes you just want to toss one of something, and having to split in half X number of times to get there is annoying. Something like shift-click to bring up a typeable number field for a custom split would be fantastic.

Agreed, Right click option > " Remove 'X' amount "

Yes this is a very important QoL improvement.
i only need a certain amount of stuff to make something,
i only need "x" of iron to make an item, i dont need to take a whole stack out or keep splitting half half half.

While I would love for this feature to be added, you can right now use Alt + Click Drag to pull 1 off the stack. I use this in combination with Shift + Click to split a stack then if I want just 20 in a stack I will take a 50 stack down to two 25's then just pull the 5 off the top of one of the two 25 stacks one by one to make 20. It would be easier just to have a scroll wheel function to choose the number to split though.

Totally agreed with this idea. The splitting items in this game is PIA right now.

On Ark you can split things in half or split off I think 5 or 10 or split just 1 off. This would be a good option because with stack sizes being say 50 and I wanna take 2 with me its kind of a pain. So being able to split in half, then below that having 2 extra lines to split off say 5 and split 1 would be a big help.

Something similar to the the stack splitting that mojang did for Minecraft would be nice.
