Henbane oil persists with 0 charges

Unread post by Hoihe »

### brief description

Henbane oil, with 3 charges of either ease pain or vigor, does not get deleted once all 3 charges are used

### expected behaviour

Upon running out, it should leave inventory

### Additional notes

I had 3 henbane oils. However even after dropping the excess and using up the one i have left it still persisted.

Hello there,

Thanks for the report. Items with charges that are depleted are not consumed. This is the case of wands for example. Here Henbane Oil, and many other herb products are not either, they are just empty in the inventory. So while this is not the ideal behavior, it's not something that we expected otherwise. It's more a limitation of the engine.

An idea of mine for this is to get some tools to empty and clean the used vials, and use them again in the system. It seems unlikely to me that people will break or throw the vials once used. But it needs discussion first and might not be implemented soon.

I hope the answer helps,

Cheers,

Ashenie

I admit, I did not realize wands persisted. I never dared let them go to less than 3 for fear I forget and need to buy a new one too soon.

Thanks for that info. This will save me money!

Ashenie is somewhat mistaken. Some items with charges do self-destruct when they hit 0, but neither of us knows what controls the behavior at the moment. :(
