So you took more time to do this than mine the 500 stone to offset the 100 extra hardened brick from your single split of the full stack?

While sure you can discuss that you need to do a specific and precise inventory reduction and they have agreed and will give you the option in the coming hotfixes, look at the time your OCD wasted from your playing by doing this. Give them 500, take the 1.5 minutes to mine the 500 stone and throw it in your furnace for conversion to the hardened brick. You are out an extra 500 stone and 100 consolidate beyond what you were going to give. That is what? A total of 5 minutes of extra time on your end. I bet you took at least 10 to do this breakdown.
