A few small improvements have been made to the showroom:

  • Stash reordering: If you have more than one item in your stash, you will now be able to drag rows up and down to re-order them. They had previously been ordered by item age, i.e. when they were bought from the showroom. This should also work on mobile. Credit to Myriad for the suggestion.
  • Buy unequipable items: Previously, you could only buy items that you had the STR/DEX in that moment to equip. This means you couldn't grab an item you could equip in a level or two until actually leveling up and spending stat points. This also raised the barrier for "freaking" a little higher. Now, you can buy unequippable items. Credit to Lemkinator for the suggestion.
  • See stash overflow: When you add stars to your bot, make use of the extra stash space, and then remove stars, the stashed items are still there, but hidden. They'd "fall" down into your stash as you made room for them, but other than adding stars back to your bot, there was no way to see what was hidden in the overflow. Now, if you have overflow stash items, a grayed out extra stash area will appear showing them. You can't interact with (i.e. move/equip/sell) them, just see them. Credit to...me! I thought of this one myself while working on the other two improvements.

This is a relatively minor update, but I wanted to put it on everyone's radar rather than wait to bundle it into something like my last patch notes post because of the higher-than-normal possibility of bugs. The showroom code is some of the oldest in the game and it is quite...bad. The ability to re-order stash items in particular was quite invasive (new database column for per-bot orderings, one-time backfill, updates to every showroom workflow that can affect a stashed item).

So as always, but especially after this update, be on the lookout for anything unusual and please report bugs.

Thanks Ender, the stash re-ordering is very logical and easy to use. I can imagine buying unequippable items will also save a lot of time while levelling bots

Very nice changes, dragging the stash seems smooth even on mobile
