New Captaincy Feature: Barrel Orginization!

  • This is a small thing that has bothered me for a year and a half now. When I set sail, I have a specific orginization system that makes things easier. On my Sloop, I put my fireworks and signal flares in the bottom Cannonball Barrel, while everything else goes in the top, and my fruit and cooked meat goes in the top Food Barrel, while my bait and raw meat goes in the bottom. It's a simple system that has never failed me, but there's one issue I have.

    At the start of every session, I have to move everything around. And while this is a small ordeal that only wastes a few seconds, it gets worse when I buy Captaincy supplies, or when I put things in my barrel via a storage crate, as certain items will not be where I'd prefer and need to be moved, which is just not fun for me to do.

    Therefore, I propose a new feature for the Captains of the Sea of Thieves:

    BARREL ORGINIZATION!

    Within the Shipwright Shop, you can now permanantly organize your barrels for 10,000 Gold. You can pick which items will go into which barrels on your ship by category. These categories are similar to the ones in your inventory, with the Food Barrel being slightly more expansive.

    Once your barrels are organized, all items will automatically sort into the barrels you picked, and barrels will not allow you to place items that are not supposed to be in them. This will reduce some time spent rearranging before you sail and let you go out on the waves quicker!

    And that's all I have! Please let me know what you think of this idea! Lucky out!

  • one of those things where I dunno why it doesn't already exist for qol

    would be a nice addition for sure

  • Have my upvote on this one, great QoL feature for being a Captain.

  • @capn-lucky5984 how dare you try to organize my ship

  • @otherfanboy How dare you try to resist my organization

    @otherfanboy How dare you try to resist my organization

    Says the guy running organization meta 😋

  • @capn-lucky5984 I shall right after I drink this barrel of grog

  • @otherfanboy (Organizes grog barrels by potency and flavor)

  • @capn-lucky5984 I’ll drink all in random order

  • @otherfanboy Doesn’t matter, the barrels are still organized

  • This wont ever happen. I made the same suggestion a while back but it's one of those things that's along the lines of getting a spyglass sensitivity slider so we can look around faster... Which just got weird looks when it was asked on stream. Like they couldn't comprehend why we might wish to have the ability to look around faster.

    In the very least it would be nice if all the food was in the top barrel. Don't see any reason why the game should be splitting our bananas. Heck I don't think we should even be starting with such useless food, it's like they nerfed bananas heal but that was the food ships started with so that's what we got stuck with. Though arena only spawned with coconuts because they knew bananas were useless... I dunno I can't figure out their reasoning for doing some things.

    They still haven't even sorted out ship cosmetic saving so trying to get the game to remember our barrel preferences. Buying supplies should definitely be more expensive though. I am cheap and just as a mater of principal I don't buy supplies but I feel the cost of supplies right now is so low that it's not really a question for people. It should be expensive enough that people have to think.... Do I want to spend the gold? Is it worth it for how long I plan to play and what I am planning on doing this session? Instead its so cheap that the cost doesn't even factor into the decision it's just a given. Login, buy supplies, set sail.

  • @capn-lucky5984 not after I get to ‘em

  • @capn-lucky5984 Straight-up just gonna reply on the off-chance that it gets more eyes on this obvious slam-dunk of an idea. I need this YESTERDAY.
