Discovered a function to automatically push items under your feet?

[Ezhe]

So, I was building my cabin. This is a very laborious task for both your character and yourself, mainly because you have to haul many logs to the needed location and, for every tile you move, you have to press "P" for pushing, select all logs on ground, press "Enter" and move a tile. After hitting such a complicated bunch of keys, congratulations, you moved a tile, now you just need to do it over and over again, so I always think if only there's a way to automize this work.

Then suddenly, It seemed I accidentally activated such a function. All I did was just continually moving my character and somehow all the logs on ground was automatically being pushed along the way. No need to press any additional keys. But I didn't remember how I triggered it. Actually I was not even sure if it's an implemented function, Perhaps the programm worked in an unintended way?

So I wonder if anyone know anything about it or have similar encounters. Thanks in advance.

The key you pressed is [m] for move

I remember the days bofore m was introduced, p used to be the only way. It's much easier with m now.

Push, or Pull(get from adjacent tile) are slower than Move (or haul), especially single trunk/log hauling is pretty quick. Remember to keep encumbrance low to avoid excessive fatigue buildup

Yes, it is! Many thanks! This is really useful. How could I not know about it before and was pushing all the stuff using [p] all the time...

Yeah, it feels faster to move a single log. It seems to take just one turn, but when it comes to two logs, it takes minutes and causes more fatigue.

IIRC learning how to [m]ove or haul big items like tree trunks or logs should be part of the 'Tutorial'/'Living in the wild' starting course.

Don't tell me you've seriously never played the game using this course before. I would have thought anyone new to game would start with that course to learn how things work in the game..

There is? Really? I didn't remember. I must have overlooked it... I can't believe I never noticed that and was just using [p] all the time for hundreds of hours. Anyways, lesson learnt. I think I totally need to look into the in-game tutorials again. Thank you for reminding me of that.

My guess was that Ezhe has been playing for a long time and did the game course before [m] was introduced -- I cannot remember if it's in the tutorial or not; I still do the tutorials but I don't usually read the text since I think I know how to play. It looks like move was introduced in February 2013 in 3.16, I would've guessed it was more recent, I remember the days before [m]ove so well.

No problem at all.

If you're looking for the [m]ove lesson in the in-game Tutorial, it's part of the "Watercourse" task where you need to build a raft. The "Related Key-Commands" includes the [m]ove items command as well.

Ooh.. possible.. I didn't know that, I started playing around version 3.5x or 3.6x, just before the smoking mechanics got changed. Apologies if this was the case, Ezhe..
