Shop buy limits "buy only X amount and no more"

Currently, we can use buy limits to make sure we have a certain amount stocked in our stockpiles, but we cannot, for example, buy 10 and then no more.
E.g. If I want to buy 10 research papers but then never buy them again, I can't queue up any research using those papers because if they get used then the shop will allow an additional 10 to be purchased as they get used up.
It would be great to be able to have a "buy only X amount" option.

Just came here to post this same suggestion after I had a buy order up for 10 pieces of one food type, only to login and find out my bank was completely drained and that I had been sold 290 pieces of the food because the clever cook managed to manipulate his stack durability by selling me 10 food at exactly 50%, waiting one tick for it to drop to 49%, then selling me 10 more. Over and over and over again.

Is this worded correctly? It sounds like what you're wanting is the ability to set a shop to only sell X amount of an item, regardless if you craft more. I.e. You want to sell the 10 papers and once they are sold it will not sell anymore even if you craft more.

Jeremy DX This is for buy orders. Automatic buying in your shop (right side), not selling your items (left side).

Shoop de boop Yeah i read that wrong lol but both directions would be awesome idk why they at least haven't done like a maximum purchase amount. Currently the system really requires that you make a unique storage for everything and basically keep excess materials to force a buy limit yeah :/ or only place a specific # in a storage for selling.

I'd love some way to set "max X per people" or "max X per people per day" or a reservation system, like someone orders something i craft it and put in my shop and only them can buy it

Zach Bora For the reserve system, you could create a second shop and ONLY authorize one person to use it, but you will need to remember to take it off, and you would need one shop per person. It's a bandaid, but maybe it will help you.

Zach Bora This is a good idea too. You should make a new feature suggestion so it gets attention :)
