<snip>Thank you, I'll try this as soon as I can. Meanwhile I still think this should be in the core game for all users hopefully it'll get implemented some time.
@ineedcords You can mod it yourself by creating diy_ineedcords.txt like below and saving it in the Urw game folder:

<snip>Just tested this (corrected) code. It indeed works, no more splitting hair to split tying equipment as it produces the rope in 1-feet chunks in the first place!

Could you please add a single Tying Equipment menu option to cut down (a single chosen tying equipment) to 1 feet pieces?
1 feet chunks is the ultimate choice as it is the only size that will guarantee that a character can do 100% of tying-equipment-related tasks and waste no tying equipment at the end of task. There is no other size that fits all tasks and wastes nothing at the same time.
There is a side benefit (in my eyes) that it will only take one menu-entry per tying-equipment-material-and-quality-combo.
e.g.: it would read "87 1-feet bitch-bark ropes"
rather than e.g. 8 10-feet bitch-bark ropes + 1 5-feet, 2 1-feet etc.
I acknowledge that this may not be a good thing for other people as others might prefer cutting down everything as chunks of 5 feet or n feet or a combination of various sizes.
