How to split stacks in Nightingale

As of right now, there is no way to split your item stacks directly in your inventory. What you can do is split items into stacks when you take them out of a storage chest or by placing them in structures when you use the material.

The best way to split your stacks and manage items in Nightingale is to make a chest of some kind. As with any survival game, chests around your base that hold your excess materials and resources are vital to running an efficient base.

To this end, you can craft an Angling Basket once you clear the tutorial. This is the most basic of storage structures but it will have to suffice until you get further into the game. If you want to split stacks of items, you must use the chest for now.

To do this, open up the storage chest you have and select a resource that’s in there. Hold shift when you choose something and you can pick how many pieces of the item you want from the chest. This lets you manage your storage and inventory better.

Outside of this, you can split items to Extract as well, but this isn’t really the same as splitting things up in your inventory as you will lose the resource you extract.

Until an update adds a way to split your stacks of items directly from your inventory, you will have to bear with this method. That’s it for how to split stacks in Nightingale. For more, read our guides covering
