Implemented Combine-All Button for fragments

[xivarmy]

Reason

Sometimes over a period of time you build up a *lot* of certain types of fragments. Some things on my main server I have 100+ sets of fragments for a thing. This takes 2 clicks per set to merge.

Details

Box will have a spinner to allow you to open up to the number of sets you've currently collected and reflect how many fragments are needed for the amount you want to open.

Balance

Would make it less annoying to combine items to sell in antique dealer. But annoyance alone should not be a balancing mechanic.

Abuse Prevention

None.

Summary

This is just a convenient option to save a lot of pointless clicks.

Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

There's an option to automerge non-building items which is born of a similar motivation forwarded, but this could be extended to all items instead as it remains under the player's control whether or not to merge.

Offer the same multi-action functionality for fragment merging as for box-opening:

I say yes x10 to this. This isn't even close to being my worst example of this. It has gotten out of hand. Even doing it on mobile won't help much. Just way to many fragments. This really needs to be fast-tracked.

 

[Thunderdome]

A 1000x for this! At any given time, to combine fragments I collected in a week or two, it would take about 15-20 minutes to do within my inventory. This would save the time and clicks in doing each one at a time.

These were discussed and suggested as ideas when fragments got introduced.

Assemble all merge button suggested earlier which is better than this one which got forwarded to devs already. I don't know why they have not implemented yet.

Forwarded - Assemble all Fragments

The assembly screen for fragments should include an "assemble all" option, so when there are enough fragments for more than 1 item, they can be assembled at once.

Forwarded - Fragments should Auto-Combine if not for a building

Another fragments suggestion... Fragments should combine automatically to the item if it is not a building. Only with buildings it matters when the fragments are assembled as that defines the Era of the building. Most Items do not have an era associated with them and it does not matter when...

Agreed... I also think anything NOT yet ready to build to at least 1, should be colored DIFFERENTLY than GREEN. I'm big on "TRAFFIC light color design" - because it's one thing that's relatively ubiquitous on our planet.

Yellow means caution - well, assembly not possible, so not yet ready.
Green means all clear - ready to assemble to 1 unit or more. Good use of color for communications is just as important as it is for artistry.

I feel like on mobile it's much easier to tell, like they are different colors?? Inno has made a lot of seriously bad decisions on the frags, can't even tell what buildings you even have in the inventory??? Like how does that happen??

Yes to OP's idea, we already have the mechanism in place when opening multiple.

IMPLEMENTED

 

[Vic.Vicious]

Thank you Inno Staff!!!!

 

[Kronan]

Yes, impressive response (suggestion here to implementation time....) and thank you Inno for "embracing" the cause!

 

[CrashBoom]

but we still need this for deleting fragments

 

[Thunderdome]

Yes! Thank you.

 

[CrashBoom]

it is getting even better

We added a new button to the inventory, which allows you to assemble all items, where you have enough fragments of. This will be added to the app as well very soon.

I was just going to suggest this one today after I looked at a stack of things I needed to build and spent 30 min clicking lol I would like if it had a max or all function to it cause I have over 5k one up fragments and I don't want to click the arrow 500 times when I age up
