Model Suggestion materials into crates when dropping them in large amounts

[Baba Won]

Suggestion Title: materials into crates when dropping them in large amounts
Suggestion Description: When dropping multiple amounts of 1 item Eg 30 metal to a friend of yours, everything gets all over the place. And its just a pain to pick up 30 individual pieces. It would better to make it like the drug models, where it is on a smaller palette.

Why should this be added?:
- Cooler modeling for materials
Easier

What negatives could this have?:
- Dev time due to modelling a new package for eg cylindrical items and Metal polish(Create packaging for them

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Crashing out when asking for 30 metal and homeboy drops it all on the ground and new player comes gobbles it up and disconnects

This would be cool but there is portable crates in game already

There are, but they can only hold a limited amount, as the materials are extremely heavy. But like drugs, would be easier and would honestly just look cooler. This thread isn't just for convenience. It is also to create a more immersive way like they did with drug pallets

Making new models for materials seems tedious, and I don’t think it’s worth the effort. 99% of players wouldn’t benefit from it or even notice if it were added.

Dropping large quantities of materials isn’t common, and when it does happen, it’s usually between close friends or org members. In those cases, it’s much faster and more efficient to use org storage or personal chests. Why spend a minute dropping 30 pieces of metal when you can finish the transfer in under 10 seconds?

A better solution would be to allow players to drop large amounts of materials at once using a slider, just like we could with drugs before the new models. This would make material transfers easier for players while giving developers the option to phase in model changes later if they choose.
