    Couldn't find this particular bug in the database, though there are several vaguely related discussions.

     

    I have the deadlee6 50k stack modlet installed (sets max stack of various items), and set the max stack for dukes (casinoCoin) to 100k.when selling loot to the traders, the dukes stack fine into 100k stacks. If i move stacks to a storage (using writable storage) the 100k stacks transfer correctly.

     

    However, if I either open the storage later (loading the save), or load the save with 100k stacks in my inventory, the 100k stacks have turned into stacks of 65,535. This leaves me with the impression that the data type is different when loading the save or opening the storage, since the game has no problem with larger stacks when building the stack in inventory or moving the stack into storage. I lost several hundred thousand duke before I noticed, and while trying to narrow down what was happening.

     

    In attached screenshot, left side of graphic shows inventory before & after loading save. Right side shows storage before & after. For both, the top image is before saving, & bottom is after loading the save.

    I am aware of the limitations of an unsigned 2-byte number. My point was that it will correctly go to 100,000 without overflowing back to 0, meaning that it not a 2-byte number at this point, but goes back to 2-byte when it reloads the value.

     

    To me, this means that the data type is not consistent. Sometimes (maybe most times) it is 2-byte, but at other times it is a larger data type (4-byte? 8-byte?). 

     

    If the devs do not consider this an issue, then so be it (their call, not mine). I will still continue to report bugs or odd behaviors., & they decide when/wether/how to handle it. 

     

    Cheers.
