A new inventory feature: Auto-Stack — Plains of Pain Steam update #1288109

We added the option to use "auto-stack" on the selected item (by clicking the middle mouse button). Stacking currently occurs in isolation within a given inventory slot. Why doesn't auto-stack happen within the entire inventory, or even within an open crate? Imagine a scenario where you stash a few rounds of ammunition or other essential survival items in your jacket or pants, slots that you never lose when you die. As part of looting, you run around the map and collect whatever you find. You will use auto-stack a lot in your pack. And that's exactly the moment when you could accidentally auto-stack even those "backup" items, so you'd be looking for them in vain after death. It is precisely for this reason that we chose the path of isolated auto-stacking.
