Suggestion probally for another mods, but when you place an object in a chest, it auto sorts.

Yes, beyond the scope of this mod's intent. That being said, I use Enhanced Storage, and I believe that it adds a sort button to many(most?) containers. It's not automatic, but it's pretty close ( I don't always want to autosort. )

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I did see your reply.
Im posting here as it is the location for suggestions.

1st. Ill not assume, so Ill ask - Have you played Terraria?


Clicking on it would take all the items on the player (that weren't locked) and automatically sort them into chests nearby the player with the same items.

As far as I've been able to find, the StarBound community has taken the approach of sorting from a source chest to target chests with external send/receive items used to manually setup the logic flow between storage items.

I was wondering, if it would be of value to use Terrarias method, and treat the player as the source, and so, the targets would automatically be any storage units near to the player?

M,

Thank you for your suggestion. I do indeed play Terraria, I probably like it more than Starbound.

The reason for the approach most mod authors take in Starbound is because of the API exposed to us by Starbound. There are not obvious hooks to do what you are suggesting, and also Starbound isn't very well optimized when it comes to mods. So if it were possible, it might actually be very slow.

That being said, I agree with you that sometimes the Terraria way feels better, though it has its downsides also ( like having to be in close proximity to the deposit chests. ) Its always nice to have options tho.

I will look into this and see if it is possible.

Thanks for the suggestion!
