Trading post - selling/buying quantities can be overbooked

I have briefly checked existing topics and known issues, so I hope I didn’t overlook something and report something new here. I purchased the game just recently (2 days ago, on Steam spring sale, Early access stage, version 0.9.6e) and have played 12 hrs already (being a dad with other chores to do on a weekend → quite some achievement).

On the trading post I noticed something that seems either weird or not fully developed, yet:
when trying to move items from stock to trading post or when buying/selling goods, there is a slider for the quantities/gold that someone wants to move. But at the moment the slider does not limit the maximum quantities to those quantities available but someone can - as an example -easily move 300 pcs of an item or gold from stock to trading post or vice versa, even if there is much less in stock. To me the maximum number avaible to move or sell/buy should be the one on hand. And when buying with gold it is possible to set the slider to much more than gold is on hand.

And a minor thing: the slider is somewhat ‘clumsy’ to move: if there are several dozens of an item to move, it is hard to get the slider to the very exact amount (e.g. 40 out of 254). If the cursor is in the field ‘quantity’ already, it would be helpful to be able to use the arrow buttons on the keyboard instead…

But otherwise the game is fun to play and I noticed really few things where you would say “that needs to be sorted before release date”.

Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

You can type in the amount you want in the box and then click on the slider to make it jump the last little way to your figure.
