Caelumora — v2.8.0: Inventory Spillover
A full inventory now pauses the action instead of silently routing drops to the bank — inventory space becomes a constraint you actually feel.
Inventory full means inventory full
Auto-spillover-to-bank had been doing too much. New drops silently routed into your bank, the action never stopped, and the only signal you’d hit a limit was a bank number ticking up. The inventory cap was effectively cosmetic. Now a fresh resource type past 20 inventory slots pauses the action with “Inventory full — deposit to bank or sell to resume” and auto-resumes the moment a slot frees. Same-resource drops still stack forever in one slot, so single-skill grinds run untouched: a Mining session fills one or two slots, period. Quest claims, shop purchases, unequips, and the Aether trickle still go straight to the bank — friction is reserved for the action loop, not for things you initiated.
This is the third constraint I’ve made felt in a stretch. Combat used to be a stat panel where damage numbers ticked up; now it’s a duel surface where you watch the trade. Crystallized Aether used to be a special-case pool capped at fifty; now it stockpiles in your bank and Arcane is a destination you actually return to. A full inventory used to be a non-event; now it’s a stop. The pattern has been “make each constraint surface stop being silent”. Idle games drift toward “everything is a multiplier on a global accumulator”, and that’s efficient and also boring. Constraints are friction with shape — a fight to win, a destination to reach, a bag to clear — and the game gets more game when there are more of them.
