"Curiosity" section of inventory is cluttered

Pretty busy, but managed to make this &quotblunt&quot snippets for a) and b).

// Move connection items. I only have these 5 :D
var list = [748, 752, 753, 755, 757];
var trim = ‘<h3>Connection Items</h3><ul class=&quotyou_icon cf&quot>’;
var exists = 0;
for(var j = 0; j < list.length; j++) {
var item = $(’#infoBarQImage’ + list[j]);
if(item.length > 0) {
exists ++;
trim += item.closest(‘li’)[0].outerHTML;
if(item.closest(‘li’).siblings(‘li:not(.empty-icon)’).length - 1) {
if(item.closest(‘li’).siblings(‘li.empty-icon’).length == 5) {
item.closest(‘li’).siblings(‘li.empty-icon’).remove();
} else {
item.closest(‘ul’).append(’<li class=&quotempty-icon&quot></li>’);
}
item.closest(‘li’).remove();
} else {
item.closest(‘ul’).prev(‘h3’).remove()
item.closest(‘ul’).remove();
}
}
}
if(exists){
for(var i = 0; i < Math.abs((exists - 1)%6 - 5); i++) {
trim += ‘<li class=&quotempty-icon&quot></li>’
}
trim +=’</ul>’;
$(‘p.explanation’).after(trim);
}

// usable items first
var blaa = $(‘h3:contains(&quot Curiosity&quot)’).next(‘ul.you_icon’);
var trim = ‘’;
blaa.find(‘li > a.usableitem’).each(function () {
trim += $(this).closest(‘li’)[0].outerHTML;
$(this).closest(‘li’).remove();
});
blaa.prepend(trim);

Run them in console (F12 for FF and Ctrl+Shift+I for Chrome); either one or the other or both.
By dropdown I mean to add an arrow which will contract/expand the whole.
EDIT: You have to be in &quotMyself&quot tab for it to work. Removed spoiler tag, sorry! :D
EDIT #2: Ooops! Text formatting was messing with the code!
EDIT #3: Updated the code for different cases.

That’s a good idea, and implementable in an extension (at least the Items part; Qualities are loaded from the server piecemeal when expanding categories, so searching isn’t going to work that easily without hitting FL servers with extra requests, which they can do without).

23

I hope Making Waves can be more easily checked. And the qualities be in alphabetical order xD

24

A pet peeve of mine is that the Knob of Scintillack is filed under Goods and not Zee-Treasures.

25

This isn’t a proper fix for that, but I like to display my Making Waves on my Scrapbook Status, so I can reference it easily whenever I use the myself tab or look at my profile.

It’s also possible to mark as a Plan an option with a MW unlock, which therefore also displays your current MW value… For example, I have the option to summon the Amanuensis permanently Planned so I can both check my current MW level and, if raising Notability, how far I am to the next level.

I agree that a plot/story section is needed. That would reduce a lot of clutter by itself. Your short stories and books perhaps could stay in this section, or get separated into “publications”.

A separate section for menace reducing consumables would be nice. It can be hard to find that tincture or laudanum you’re looking for. Perhaps those could go in a new “Alchemical” section, right near the top of your inventory.

Other things that don’t fit anywhere else can probably be reclassified under “goods”, like whirring contraptions, jewels, and even strong backed labor. It’s seems like a fitting place for items that are useful but not unique.

A new “seasonal” section might also make sense for stuff like election materials, feast of the rose gifts, and so on.
