Right-click to open placed ceramic vessel

[munin295 18]

I suggest that you should be able to right-click on a ceramic vessel that's been placed on the ground to open its inventory GUI, like you can with chests.

 

I can't think of any realistic/believable reason you shouldn't be able to rifle through the contents of a ceramic vessel on the ground. Implementing this would save 3-4 steps (clear space on hotbar, sneak-right-click to pick up, sneak-right-click to re-place, maybe move items back to hotbar), unless I'm missing something obvious.

 

 

 

P.S. Is there a "planned features" page somewhere on the forums or the wiki? I can't find one.

As for being able to open placed ceramic vessels, this is actually a lot more complicated to code than like a chest, because there can be up to four of them within a single block. If you could only place a single vessel within a block, this would be a bit more feasible, but the system gets really complicated really quickly because there are multiples within the single block.

In all honesty, I wouldn't mind one, bigger, maybe 3d vessel that I'd be able to drop and use like a regular chest (though I'd hope that capacity of such would be at least marginally increased then). Even if it would take space for 4 vessels now, I think it'd still be far more practical comfortable in use than how it is now.

Thanks, I had seen that, but I was thinking of a long-term roadmap -- "This is what TFC might look like out of beta." kind of thing.

Sure.

There is no long-term roadmap because even the Bioxx hasn't really planned out that far.

I think the code can be simplified if you allow right clicking a block holding ceramic vessels would open a GUI with the contents for all the vessels in that block, but problems might arise from non-vessel items (jugs, molds, etc).

[munin295 18]

Maybe the non-vessels represent as a single slot from which you can simply take the item.

 

EDIT: Hmm, and then you can put correct things back in? If you put a vessel in does it exapnd to show its contents? Yeah, that's getting complicated.

 

The code to tell which item you're selecting must already exist for sneak-right-clicking, so I'd just stick with one click, one object.

I would love to see larger 3D pots, maybe two different kinds of vessels, the larger one needing significantly more clay but is used like a chest, and the smaller used for ore?
