[0.67.2] Not intended duplication (Apperantly stacking bug)

[Starke]

I don't really know if I should call this a bug or unintended feature but I noticed this when filling up some backpack for strength training in the trade building in Capan (my starting town).

Anyhows here is what happened first I attempted to sell a heavy armor out of a backpack by moving it into the inventory space of the seller but accidently put it over a stack of 2 Wheatstraws and suddenly the Heavy Armor turned into a stack of Heavy Armors (2) which I could both buy again.

I tested the same with a backpack and if I put the backpack over the 2 Wheatstraws and put it down it would also turn into a backpack with a 2 (stack of backpacks) although a filled backpack is not duplicated (the duplicated backpack is just an empty backpack of the same kind).

I just tested this with a hat and it still works.

I haven't found this bug/feature on the forum yet and it's only usefull if you find a rare weapon or armor something and want to duplicate it but I doubt it is intended. (You do need to pay a price to buy back the second item ofcourse as it is duplicated in the shop window of the trader).

This bug works with anything and everything. If you place an item ontop of any stack anywhere, it will turn that stack into that item.

I figured it would be something like that I did not find it using duplication or something except for seeing something on the steam patchnotes (fixing bug duplication swords in the inventory).

I know the game is in alpha and everything and it does not really bother me (to much fun just watching my chars running around with like 8 times their own weight to train their strenght and athletics).

But for beta (maybe even the new patch) it should imo be fixed mostly because of the use of duplicating very good equipment you got of a boss (kill 9 bosses have a good item for each equipment slot, duplicate it 20 times and you have full gear for all characters). And ofcourse if you have little money buy a small trading pack and have a collectable 12 item stack thingy you have infinite money almost straight from the beginning.

Or continuously duplicate the Katana blueprint for 10k, and have infinate money.
Also the stats on armors changes.
0.6 blunt iron hat. 172 harpoon.. something.. I forgot what it was that I had that had that..

Are you running the latest version (0.67.2)?
Did you Import Game from an old save file to a new world after 0.67.2 came out?

Regardless of what the patch notes say, its good that you report any information, and steps to reproduce this issue, to help Chris resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

I bought the game on 17-04-2014 (2 days ago) the version number I was running is in the title. Like I said it's not really an issue just strange and easily reproducible. (I did import the game a few times because of foolish house buying choises and stuff but that shouldn't cause this issue).

As Zeal commented it does not only affect stores but anything that can have stacks (trading backpacks for instance) if you move a single item over a stack of items and put it down you move the stack of items that was there but in return the single item that you moved to the place of the stack will suddenly also be stacked (even if it cannot be stacked for example any armor or weapon) and you can move, sell, equip or use those duplicated items as well.

Regardless of what I said in the beginning it's no so much a shop/merchant/counter bug but a stacking bug (as explained above) I was/am not really bothered by this bug but it should be gone for the final version atleast in my opinion.

Apperantly the bug is also explained here (YouTube video will still be added though mostly because I don't like the Phone recorded video in there ):

This has been fixed and shouldn't be a problem anymore in the next update. Thanks for reporting it
