Vaccu-Stax

Post by Midaychi » #106994

A request for a handheld vacuum sorta machine that you can make at the autolathe, and that engiborgs/relevant borg modules come with automatically.

When you use it on a stackable item on the ground, it:

- plays one of various pitch shifted versions of a hand held vacuum sound.
- takes all instances of that or similar stackable object within a range of 2 that aren't already max stacked, and stacks them inside the machine and then drops it at your feet. After completing a stack, if there's still remaining source material, it'll move on to making a new stack. Etc. (Example: standing in a field of metal sheets, or cut cable pieces. Use on one, singularities it all in and stacks it.)

Just make stacking itself better instead of needing a special item to do it.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Feedback is dumb and it doesn't matter

Well, I made a feature request about that a long time ago. You could use that instead of the OP suggestion?

Some of the container physics have already been implemented on tg though, mainly dumping and stuff.
