The Bank

I find the bank interface a little clunky. Reasons listed below.

No Tabs for the actual Tabs you buy. You can only click on the little left/right icons to flick from tab to tab.

Transferring items from Tab to Tab is not possible without moving it into your own inventory.

The fade to black where you choose the number of an item to transfer is headache inducing.

In the same vein, is there an override so you automatically transfer the full stack (without dragging, which I know about). I'm talking shift - R - click or something along those lines.

When you do transfer items from your inventory to the bank, they automatically get shunted into the next free slot, regardless of whether you have that tab open or not. This makes things like organising raw materials take longer than it should.


Suggestions

Add tabs! Make it so I can drag a stack or an item from either my inventory or a bank space, then either drop or hold it over the tab to dump it there.

Allow the fade to black to be switched off in the UI settings. (Seriously devs, after a while it does actually start to give me a headache. I can't imagine it'd be too healthy for epilepsy sufferers either).

More advanced would be to allocate tabs by resource type - e.g. Science, Arms, Mysticism, Quest items, Perks etc. Make it so the default behaviour is to drop an item into the corresponding tab, but it can be overridden by drag + dropping into a tab.


Thanks for reading!

    All your suggestions are great, I hope the Devs consider adding as many of them as possible.

    Yeah, I have this problem and I deal with it by looking away from the screen when it does that fade/flicker. It would be great to turn that effect off permanently in the options.

    Another place this effect appears is in the retcon powers window: undoing 40 powers means making the screen flicker 40 times, playing with lots of power builds is where I started having to look away from the screen while it flickers like that.

    These do not sound that radical and would actually better the game. May the Devs be with you.

    They should default stack dragging to the whole stack (without confirmation) unless you hold shift when you drag it. This is how intra-inventory and trading window dragging both work.

    I'd settle for partial stack transfer (like the AH has) for both the bank AND emails.

    After just a few days of play; i must say i totally agree with you!
    - Tabs with "item filters"
    - stacks support
