 There are many cases where an Unsorted container will have multiple stacks of the same resource, because the resource has more than one type.  For example, consider that logs can come from ten different types of trees.  Cedarwood and birchwood cannot be combined into one stack because there is no such thing as a generic wood type.  Each wood type then will have its own averaged stack in the container. There are many cases where an Unsorted container will have multiple stacks of the same resource, because the resource has more than one type.  For example, consider that logs can come from ten different types of trees.  Cedarwood and birchwood cannot be combined into one stack because there is no such thing as a generic wood type.  Each wood type then will have its own averaged stack in the container.
