Author Topic: Ignore artifacts when calculating bin-contents value for depot list.  (Read 465 times)

I like to sort things by value when moving bins of trade goods to the depot.  Recently I noticed that it was bringing over several bins with very little in them, over and over; they kept getting sorted to the top.

Finally, I looked inside and realized it was because they had artifacts inside them, which are valuable but can't be traded.

So.  Since artifacts don't show up on the trade screen, I think they shouldn't  be counted in a container's value when you sort the depot trading screen by value.

Of course, I have no idea how hard this would be to do.  But if it's not too tough, anyway.

That's an excellent idea.  Other untradable items should be excluded from the value calculation too, in case owned items end up in a bin or something.
