trujuice 56 Posted April 23, 2015 Anyone know why the devs are resistant to making the tablets not able to be combined, it has been suggested under "stackable" items numerous times? Now with the beginnings of the disease system getting implemented I find myself carrying more meds. If you have a group of 1 water purification tablet and a group of 3 why can they not be combined? I understand that it cannot go back into the container but I should have the option just like bullets to empty and combine. Actually I would prefer if the "empty" action was automatic with both tablets and ammo so that it would eliminate the extra stupid step. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted April 23, 2015 While I agree you should be able to stack them, I don't want it to be automatically unpacked. I like having them in their packaging until I need them, makes it feel more secure, even if it isn't :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted April 23, 2015 This is something that they've made changes to little by little over the course of development. Not sure what the hold up is, but I would say that this is something already planned. Plenty of items that "should" be stackable are not. Perfect example: matches. Other items are just plain glitched, like the flare gun rounds (which can be stacked, but only after being loaded and ejected from a flare gun). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gannon46 788 Posted April 23, 2015 they might be putting off those kinds of changes till the inventory matrix is implemented seems like that's gonna change some things. but i do agree with OP i don't understand the reasoning maybe its to make it more of a decision factor like i have only select amount of inventory slots so you only carry so many which makes you selective about drinking your water makes you watch how much you consume and makes you plan routes around where wells are and makes drinking pond water a last resort. just and idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syphonz 64 Posted April 23, 2015 If you think about it, some of the items make sense, while some do not. Water purification tablets for example, you would THINK that you could stack them, but, if you think about it, the ones that are shown in game, are in a "tablet" box, as in, you "pop" a pill out of its package. How would you stack this? Think of it like a pack of gum, you pop it out, it doesnt exactly stay in afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A box of purification tablets should be able to hold about 3 strips of 12 tablets (simply by the size that the box looks ingame compaired to the size of a box of panadols in real life of very similiar size). Thus if you combine anything that results in under 36 tablets its perfectly logical and should be implemented. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
