Description Karubo 2013-01-07 23:02:15 CET

I noticed it while shift-scrolling seed stacks in my player shop. Also works with manually putting them in.

You can stack cotton, pumpkin and cabbage seeds in one slot in the player slot. Probably cereal seeds also, but i didn't test them.

You can only see the stack that you last put in, after that one is bought you see the one before that and so on. The same applies to different quantities in the seed stack and different purities.

For example if you put in a few stacks of 1 seed and the last one is 50, you can only see the 50 seed-stack in the shop. If some player now wants to buy more than one stack he will probably just click 2-3 times to buy them. What happens is, he gets the 50 seed stack and 1-2 1-seed-stacks for the same price.

You can also do it with cotton seeds and cabbage seeds. Put in a few stacks of 1 cabbage seed each and a 50 seed stack of cotton seeds on top.

And you can also do that with different purities.

It's not a major bug, but more of a easy way to dupe people. I'm not against it per se, but if the shop shows X stacks of 50 cotton seeds, that slot should ONLY have those seeds.

The problem with the purity is probably not solvable in a way that doesnt restrict the shop too much, but the different types and quantities should be fixed.

I dunno. There will always be various qualities of stuff that might make them more or less unequal, so I think there is a stronger case to be made that potential buyers beware.

Being beware of what you buy is always a good idea, but being able to stack different type of seeds on top of another? and you can't even see the quantity of the seed stack without using mouseover... 

you can't stack different seeds in the inventory or in planter's pouches so why should you be able to do it in the shop?

so far nobody seems to have tried that way of duping people often or i would have read somebody whining about it in the forums, but if it gets out it will probably be more trouble than fixing it.
