|p=I've just released an update to the {{com|STOW}} verb and how it interacts with piles of collected herbs.

Using {{tt|STOW PILE}} will first search the room for a pile created by you and attempt to take items from it. For piles of [[Healing herbs|herbs]], it will take the entire pile at once and make a single super herb -- one item with a very high count to it. If they aren't herbs, it continues to act as before by taking a single item from the pile. If you have no piles of your own, current behavior continues by finding the first in the room and taking a single item from it.

While making this update, I found some issues in the collected pile mechanics that were causing piles to not play friendly with {{tt|STOW}}. After fixing that, you'll now {{tt|GET}} an item from the pile and then {{tt|PUT}} it into your container when you {{tt|STOW}}, as it was meant to do.

Note: For now, this only affects herbs. I know there's interest in extending it to piles of dirt, but that's currently beyond this update for mechanical reasons.

If you notice anything odd, let me know. This has been in Plat for a while but is now also in Prime and TF.
