I just had to create 85 contracts in just two hours and felt that the Drag-and-drop feature would make the process of filling out contracts comfortable.
The ability to add multiple materials has already been heard on the forum so I’ll skip that and drag-and-drop I don’t remember. Here’s how I see this feature.
You choose the type of contract.
You open the cargo settings (you see the fields for one material as now)
Drag and drop the material you want to add and a horizontal format line appears as in the example below.
| 0 || BSE | x
| | is a yellow field you can fill in.
0 - number of materials
x - the possibility to delete one line
You drag another material and its one horizontal line appears below the existing one.
At the very bottom will be a yellow line with the shipping address.
Each item should have one line, so you don’t have to make an endless list of fields to fill if you have a lot of materials. A limit of 10 materials in the contract will be enough. Thanks.
Great idea. Love it. This may be the technical limitation for multiple items in a shipment order or other LM order though. We haven’t gotten those, and there may be some technical reason? Why that hasn’t been done yet. Would make life a lot easier though.
+1 is if there is a “fulfill all” button that atttempts to fulfill all components of it. Cause hitting fulfill 10 times and waiting for the confirmation every time would get old.
Of course, I am well aware that the implementation requires a lot of developer man-hours and do not expect this even in the next patch. This is more of a note for the future and a more detailed description of gameplay which may help for other updates.
It was worth adding that this is relevant to buy/sell on personal contracts. Even with my active play, I haven’t noticed much need for this in shipping or LM.
