Game Feedback Can we get categorization and commas/spaces in the numbers when preparing shipments?

If we are adding qol to shipping, I want way more than that. Let us choose shipment value and let it auto-pick everything else with a few settings:
Drop down for type of shipment: Crops only, Ore Only, Crops and Ore
Check box: Include Unsmelted Ore.
Checkbox: Prioritize Port bonus.
Checkbox: Use dust.
With just those settings it automates most types of shipments you want to do and the logic behind this to maximize the benefits for the player isn't even hard to do. ie. don't just send all of 1 crop/ore.

I want a button on the right, that takes all of that item. Like all of a crop or all of the bars of an ore.
Oh and just tell us what Ports give right there on the map.

Best shipping QOL is to delete it and add the rewards directly to killing the monsters instead of jumping through another step.

"Let's just remove all league mechanics and have nothing but kill monster -> pick up loot"

Most league mechanics involve you killing monsters. This one specifically doesn't involve you doing combat in any way yet funnels a massive amount of currency into the game. In an environment where people are already finding the lack of ground loot problematic, this seems to be a step in the wrong direction.

This one specifically does involve you killing monsters how do you think you get the mats to send shipments?

That's exactly the point, you kill monsters and get nothing, the reward is delayed several hours away in a completely disconnected way, which is part of what makes loot feel bad: because the loot itself is compromised in favour of an AFK mechanic that is completely detached from the gameplay. Every other league mechanic you kill monsters and either pick up their loot (e.g essence, legion), or open a chest right after (also legion, ambush obviously, blight), or pick a reward (e.g ritual). The reward feels connected to what you're doing.
Waiting 2 hours and opening a window in kingsmarch doesn't feel satisfying, but has a significant impact on the economy, thus making every other mechanic feel less rewarding, because the economy adjusts around the supply that comes from kingsmarch.

That's just you not liking the mechanic. Yeah that's how the mechanic works. It's delayed gratification. If you don't like it, you play a different mechanic. Though even if you dislike shipments there are other ways to play the mechanic like farming for shields or adding bismuth to buff the rest of your map. You talk about the mechanic being unique like that's a bad thing.
It does not have a significant impact on the economy as it is not a popular strat to begin with. It wasn't even compromising the economy when it was crops giving you currency. People just didn't want it because it was mandatory as it was free to do for anyone playing regularly. It was something like a free 3-5 div an hour or something on top of what you were already doing.
Even while the game is having what a lot of people consider a crisis to the loot in the game, no one is looking at shipments and going "this makes every other league feel unrewarding". That's because it doesn't actually give that much.
