One of the major annoyances of sea of thieves is getting cannons, bananas, and wood one by one instead of picking up the whole barrel and moving it to the ship.
Can we have an option to pick up the whole barrel and move it to the ship?
Ability to carry barrels

@realbadhor5e
The cannons in game appear to be 24 pounders.
I don't think anyone is carrying a barrel, let alone what we have in our inventory.
Gotta have some limits..
Do you just troll the forums and pooh pooh on peoples idea's?
@Madame-Ching But @liquickmetal is not trolling. He is right, nobody can carry that cannonball barrel!
But nonetheless, i hope they get rid of the barrels at all and introduce a new System where you get your Resources. Maybe Bananas from the Plant and Cannonballs or Ammunition from a Trader.
@madame-ching They could steal Blackwake Idea and use the crate's and do it by % of supplies. Where you can bring the supplies to the cannons
@madame-ching Well, somewhere you have to draw the line right?
In my opinion carrying 10 Cannonballs, 10 Bananas, 10 Planks, 2 Guns with each 5 Bullets, several tools like compass, shovel, watch, lantern, bucket, tankard, is enough for a humble Pirate like me.@univalvewolf976 said in Ability to carry barrels:

@Madame-Ching @Zombie-P1ague Criticism is best taken with a grain of sea salt...
Maybe once you 2 get some game time time you'll understand the decisions behind the gameplay mechanics....but I guess you'll have to wait for now...brb gotta go set a sail, eat some bananas and fire a cannon or 2.
@madame-ching said in Ability to carry barrels:
Don't forget about the magical gun powder and the ramming rod we pull out of our a**e.
Games are meant to just that, games if we want to be realistic with what we can carry then add a encumbrance.There is an encumbrance as in limiting the amount one can carry...

Damn that’s harsh man teasing us

You don't need "Game time" to understand how this game works or it's mechanics. You can see everything you need to see from watching you tube. Don't act like this is some form of rocket science.
As far as games go, other than sailing this game is extremely simple. And you say there is a encumbrance, I know what it means but I have never seen nor heard them talk about one in game because that would be a attribute which they do not want.
If there was truly a encumbrance you're clothes wouldn't' look like you just ripped off Costco.

As far as games go, other than sailing this game is extremely simple.“Everything is both simpler than we can imagine, and more complicated that we can conceive.”
How about we both do what were chosen to do.
You keep basing your 'knowledge' from a few very carefully crafted/edited you tube videos..
As a pioneer, I'll get back to testing game play and features not shown in the you tubes. I'll sea you out there..oh wait... :P

And i think, being able to carry planks/bananas/cannonballs barrels would be detrimental for the gameplay.
If you can sail with 300, 400, 500 cannonballs/planks, nothing can stop you.Naval battles are also about ressource management.
@aenima123 You nailed it.
Let's just say, when you guys finally get into a Galleon vs Galleon battle, every shot counts, every cannon ball, every board, and every banana matters.

I don't see how this is all that much different then the current inventory system. Barrels only hold at the most 10 items. So its not like moving a whole barrel is all that beneficial.
Because the way it is right now sets a hard limit on how much cannonballs/planks/bananas you can have onboard.
@aenima123 If I am understanding this correctly, instead of only having the current barrels on your ship you would want to have them plus the barrels currently on islands that only hold 10 items. Essentially if you wanted 1000 cannon balls you would basically have 70 barrels plus the 3 permanent ones?
@lifewcoke No no, sorry, now i understand what you meant in your precedent post. And you're right, not only it wouldn't be that different from the current situation (a bit different, because you could have 10 units of a ressource type on you, and 10 or so in a barrel you could carry), but mostly, what i was saying before : being able to carry ressources barrels would be detrimental to the naval battles because everybody could store as much ressources they want on their ship, and that would lead to endless fights, no good.
@aenima123 Ok, I can agree with you on the battles part. Resource management is a very important part of the battles and I currently feel that being able to store more would not be good.
Instead of taking all the random barrels from the islands to your ship (which would in theory give you limitless resources) ...
Id like to be able to take my cannonball barrel from my ship and 'roll' it to a shop to fill up, in those days they didnt carry them, they rolled them along the floor, perks of them being round :p
@dark-shadow9056 I would like to see the ability to trade resources. I don't know how that would work, but I'm sure that you guys can think of something!
