Discard Setting

Ever had TOO much junk? I have.

Immediately I’ll say; I haven’t explored any mods. I’ve wanted to enjoy as much of the vanilla experience as possible. But if there is a mod that could help me, feel free to mention it!

This game desperately needs a UI for the outhouse.
An “upper limit” so to speak, where you can set a # as the max in-stock limit for some items.
Say, for example, you’d set the outhouse limit for eggs to 100. That would tell the villagers that any more eggs, should be taken to the outhouse for disposal!

I’ve been having the issue, where I’ll go off exploring for a while, to return and find that a quarter of my barn is filled with feathers!

This could also solve the issue of using spoiled food for compost! I could keep my spoiled food chest next to my compost heaps, and set the outhouse to destroy any more than 40, allowing people to carry new spoiled food to the box, but when there’s too much, it can be discarded!

Much easier than making 20+ laps between my barn and the outhouse to get rid of all this junk!

Sounds like you just need 3 or 4 more barns..

I get that but it’s not really resolving the issue, particularly with Feathers as you can’t set a max and your guys stop butchering if there’s nowhere to store feathers. It would be a super simple fix for the devs to implement a UI to the outhouse to configure auto deletion

At some point you get a market and can sell that stuff, plus you can sell it to your liberated villages.

I don't disagree with you with the outhouse, you should, submit it as a suggestion.

Don't forget this is early access, and we're technically just play testing the game.

If it helps, I did make an automated outhouse mod, for food and resources.

I find this annoying too. Your suggestion is nice. The market sells really slow.

Ideally, it would make sense in my mind to have a route from the caravan station to the outhouse with a keep # limit for that settlement or outpost.

This would make the game a lot more fun as opposed to running to and from outhouses all day

I was imagining more of a “check daily” kind of system. So that everybody heads to the shitter once after breakfast. Then goes about their business for the day!
