[Suggestion] Splitting stacks by number
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.

Headache MergedAbility 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

Trug MergedDefinitely 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.

GinSchiffer MergedYes 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. -

Cipher 8 MergedWhile 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.

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

shin0bi272On 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.

TorqueThrust MergedPlease add a slider so we can choose the amount we want to split a stack, It's infuriating that I have to split a stack again and again to arrive at the amount that I want.

D Alexander Mergedinstead of having to shift split a bunch of stacks in half and alt drag multiple singular items to a stack to get to a specific number add a feature where you can split a stack into an exact amount using a slider.

Shockwave MergedOr type it in. But honestly being able to craft on benches from all storages in an area would be even better. having to move items from bench to bench to bench is tedium, not difficulty. If you could craft from all storage or even just all benches that would go a long way to removing the times you need to split stacks.

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

StefanSplitting in half and taking only one at a time is implemented.
Only splitting to a specific number is missing. -

Orions_Iron MergedLike most other crafting games lets have the ability to select how much a stack can be when split. We should be efficient prospectors who can split to the correct size. Cheers

kingcodebra MergedWhen you're building materials or items, instead of instead of taking the entire stack or half a stack of what I need, I would like to just be able to type in I need 23 of something, for example. That'll save the time moving things back and forth between inventories.
I could just pick what I need for station 1 and then pick another specific number for station 2, etc. because many materials go to many recipes. -

Orions_IronYes please this is a critical QOL issue for ADHD players. I dont just want a split in two option. I need more options :)

CavityburnAlso, could you please allow the changing of mapped keys for secondary actions? Like, instead of holding CTRL to MOVE the whole stack, it could be SHIFT, like all of the other games of this type have. Along with mapping quick-actions while in your backpack or storage devices.
7D2D has the WASD keys mapped to individual functions, like pressing D while hovering over an item will auto-drop the items.
I know that the Q key is Retrieve All while viewing a storage device. But, there is no tooltip to show this. -

ZayonThis would be a good QoL, i was thinking in 187 weeks of updates this QoL should've been in game already, did not play icarus until week 185 but i bought the game in the early release days, and i waited many updates for content and stuff, this QoL thing is in base game of every mmo/survival game that comes out right now even in alpha this is added, i don't understand why after that many weeks of updates is not added... i don't think is that hard to add a few code likes or code blocks, idk how UE works, but i think it could be quite an easy task compared to a lot of content that is upcoming, so if this would be added in the Great Hunts update would be the best feature added to the game...

SoolaOMG YES this is my biggest peeve in this game is the constant "split stack" over and over to get the number I need which unfortunately is right next to "drop". Can't even count how many times I've dropped something when I was trying to split it.

BioWalker MergedIt would be very convenient if after crafting an item you didn't have to go to the closet to put away the leftovers

Anton F. MergedCurrently inventory stacks can only be split in half.
Example:
If I need 15 wood from a stack of 100, I must split 100 -> 50 -> 25 -> etc and manually combine stacks. This takes too much time and makes inventory management frustrating.
Suggestion:
Add an option to split a stack by custom amount.
Possible solutions:
- Right click -> Split Stack
- Enter desired number
- Or Shift + drag with quantity input
This is a quality-of-life improvement that saves time and does not affect game balance. -

MattYes, please add this. It's baffling that something this basic hasn't been added to the game. Every single player deals with this dozens of times per day!
