Locking items in house inventory

[stukn]

A way to prevent certain items from being fed, recycled, used or used in crafting would be SO appreciated. Many items were accidentally lost and a way to prevent that in the future would save a lot of trouble to a lot of people.

I'm planning for a feature which gives players a separate space with INFINITE CAPACITY... at a cost per use! (inspired by Dofus' bank system.) items in the bank would not be usable, except to remove them from the bank. do you think that with house, basement, and bank, you would have inventory control equivalent to what was requested above?

the issue is more problematic when the items that would benefit from being locked are in the home. it sounds counter intuitive to have a potential ingredient just laying around in the house but 1: there may not have been any compatible items at the time the item was put into the house inventory and, through gathering, pets brought in something that could be combined with it and subsequently did so 2: some people have items that aren't fully upgraded as their pets' tools. they may need to swap the tool out temporarily and not realize or forget to check if something can be crafted out of them 3: the player may not know at all that their object can be crafted into something else and just happen to have the ingredient in their house inventory

the tl;dr I suppose would be that for convenience reasons, players will sometimes have craftable items in their house inventory that they don't want their pets to touch so the bank wouldn't be helpful for that.
