Quality Condensing

Overview

This is a simple mod that lets you combine lower quality items (default 3) into one of the same item with higher quality.

Note that based on the default requirements (3), there isn't any monetary value in combining items; higher quality items are, however, very useful for other purposes like gifting, grange display, and community bundles.


Overview

Condense items by picking them up in an inventory and pressing a hotkey (default middle mouse button) while hovering over either an empty inventory slot or an item of the same kind but higher quality.

If the target slot is empty and the held item has the required number in its stack, an item of the next quality level will be created in the slot and the held item's stack will be reduced by the required number.

If the target slot holds a higher quality item, the mod will calculate how many are required and if there are enough, add one to the target slot's stack, reducing the held item's stack accordingly. (e.g. condensing an ordinary item into a gold item will require 3 x 3 = 9).
