Piles of Ore/Bones/Sticks/etc.

[Lookstothestars]

This might be a bad idea because it could make storage a bit useless if poorly implented, but i feel like being able to create more piles would be cool. You can already store firewood and planks, bricks and bars in a similar way, but i feel like it would make early game less of a hastle if you could just make a pile of bones that grows the more bones you add. Maybe like 16 bones/reeds/etc. a space make a pile and if you have a 2 x 2 space of piles it could form into a huge pile, allowing you to store a bit more. That way you don't have to throw out stones you might want to use for cobblestone and have an easier way to store material, especially in like island survival where if you are unucky you spawn without reeds or papyrus.

Again, i recognise that this might be a bad idea because of balancing, but it might also just decreae early game frustration, that doesn't add to the experience the game tries to create and could also just look really good in a decorative way (imagine a smith that has piles of ore next to their crates and they're like actually useful).

And before anyone says it (because i've seen it quite a lot under many suggestions here), i recognise that the focus of the developers is probably somewhere else, you don't need to mention that. It's a suggestion after all so let people suggest their suggestions.

(Also, if someone else already had this idea i'm sorry for suggesting it again. There's just so many topics i can not read them all to see if someone else already had this idea.)

If you're looking for more piles, a great mod is More Piles (https://mods.vintagestory.at/morepiles), which adds piles for bones and other things, which help greatly with early game storage. This mod doesn't add your idea of huge piles, but placing 4 piles next to each other creates a similar effect.

My wish has been fulfilled. Yippie! :3

DanaCraluminum makes exactly the kind of mods I want to use, but their descriptions are pretty sparse. I don't know what things this enables you to pile.

You can store coal in a pile, but it's visually not very good and not terribly space efficient either. I'd love to see a better coal pile.
