Quick Start
Quick start guide:
1. Look at any dino or structure that you own that has an inventory
2. Press Alt-F to open the main menu
3. Select the network (click on Network and either add a new network or select an existing one)
4. Select your default mode
5. Add any folders you want. Click on the folder name once selected to accept or reject those items.
6. Add any resources you want. Click on the resource name once selected to accept or reject those items, including to optionally discard any excess.

The quantity desired is either a number of stacks of the item or a specific count of the item. This can be selected on an individual and default basis. To fill a container, select a quantity greater than the container size (such as 1,000 stacks).

Containers with specific items, such as "Wood", will have priority over containers with the related folders, such as "Resource", which have priority over containers with only default values.

Accepting any resource or folder explicitly will automatically reject all other items.

Once configured, enable management of the container.

The structure or dino inventory that is current open in the UI is disabled while the UI is open.

Setting up a forge pull is very simple. Use the following example:

Drop boxes:
Network=Forge (using for example, you can use any name)
No specific item or folder rules.
Overall set to Reject
Enable the container policies

Storage boxes:
Network=Forge
Set "Metal" as Accept (Green w/Blue background) Min=0, Max=default, Stacks, Pri=0
Be sure to set up a box for each item type: Metal, Wood & Charcoal or Sparkpowder, Metal Ingots
Enable the contailer policies

Forge:
Network=Forge
Metal=Accept, Min=1, Max=default, Stacks, Pri=any value
Wood or Sparkpowder=Accept, Min=1, Max=1, Stacks, Pri=any value
Enable the container policies

Because drop box has "Reject" it will push to any enabled container which has < Min qty first and then < Max qty, highest priority first.
Storage containers must have a min=0 to allow other containers to pull from them.
Forge will allow others to push to it or will pull from any container that has > min in inventory, lowest priority first.

Priority is simply used to determine the order. When pushing, highest first. When pulling, lowest first.
