Allow bulk buy orders in shop (one bundle for one price)

Open Elliander opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

In the shop, the minimum price for an item is 0.01 of a given currency, however depending on how the economy develops buying some items for that price individually would be too expensive.

There are only two options: Increase the amount of money in circulation 10 fold so that such items can be bought and sold, or use the contract board.

In the contract board I can select "Put items in container" as the first clause, choose 100 of the item I want to buy, set the payment as 0.02 for the bulk (instead of 0.002 each which the shop can't handle) and set it for unlimited repetitions.

That works, yes, but it's a bit much. I should be able to define item "bundles" to buy and sell and a price for that bundle, rather than going through the chest deposit. Not just because a chest deposit is inconvenient, but because it doesn't benefit from linked inventory like the shop does.

I would like a way to setup a bundle of items for sale in a store, for example, 10 logs and 10 coal in Bundle1, this bundle would be cheaper than buying it seperatly because the customer must purchase it all in one go.

Much like in real life where if you would like a product to be cheaper you generally must purchase more of the items for a higher cost but in the outcome each product will be cheaper.

There was another suggestion for this but over 3+ years ago and I have not seen any discussion for this, I think it would be good to implement this, thank you.
