At the moment, I still have to run around my base to sort a full inv of items out even with the auto sort as it seems to only be effective to any box within 2 maybe 3 tiles of player position
That is a good suggestion! In fact, I have it in my Future Goals on the mod's page since the start ;)

Hi Jeff, I've just published an addon mod that allows to stash from distance:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2952769910

Code is on github: https://github.com/tobiasstrebitzer/zstash

Feel free to adopt my changes to your mod, then I'd shut down mine to make it easier for users.

Cheers and thanks for this absolutely fantastic piece of a QOL mod!

+1 for the custom template/preset creating and the item states (fres|stale|rotten, full|empty, etc.). and add to that the ability to also configure containers not available in the walking context, eg. car seats and gloveboxes. The context menu can't be invoked in those scenarios.

Hey developer!
When are you going to add "save/load" presets?
A "copy and paste" function would be equivalent in excellence.
Oh! And a "select all categories" button would also help a lot.
Anyway... Thank you for your work and congratulations on the excellent mod.

Is the developer still working on this? Looks like that save/load presets feature has been sitting as a future development for a least a year at this point.

Any chance in making this compatible with the MOD - Wheelbarrow from Hydrocraft v2.3 ? I like to use those as makeshift storage since they have default 180 storage per each. Would be nice to be able to use this MOD in conjunction with the wheelbarrow, if it wouldnt involve too much work.

Deditated wam... sry... dedicated transfer button instead of shift click would make my left pinky very happy.

I can't live without this mod anymore. But I play with a joystick and my only pain is that I have to either select and transfer to assigned container each item or use the mouse/keyboard to select everything. An option to "transfer all to assigned containers would be amazing"

If you read the mod description you can perform this action on a gamepad :)

Unless it's been broken, if so, let me know!

This mod is brilliant, never knew I needed it, but now I refuse to live without it. I find myself more often putting exclusion/inclusion rules. For example, empty fuel cans go into this chest, while tar goes into that chest and all other crafting material into that chest. The problem is finding certain items is quite hard due since they do not often present themselves in correct category. In those cases, a search bar would be a godsent. Is it possible, please? :)

Edit: Simpler idea is to emulate V Rising compulsing sort function. Put what you want to be inside the create, hit "Create Include List" button and done. Now only things on the include list will go into the case.

I have no idea what the 'right trigger' is. I have already tried all buttons.
A: transfer all does exactly what it says. B : Cancel the action. No response from any other buttons.

Maybe its already a thing but just gonna leave it here... Compatible with proximity inventory mod so that I can enabe global view to see all items in all containers in reach adn then transfer to positions/categories I have set up beforehand

Hello there, Few suggestions.
"Exclude all" buttons will make setting it up a lot easier because you can press 1 button and then you just need to include the few items you want in it.

Perhaps also an "Include all" would be fine for a general area where you're dumping inventory to be then sorted.

Next suggestion. currently i can only autosort stuff from my personal inventory. a suggestion is to enable the autosort from floor items.

Not sure how this will work, when I want to create a cupboard containing all cooking related material, but not utensils and pots. I will select the cooking category on the left, go into advanced and exclude cooking utensils.

On a new chest, I will not select any category on the left, instead go into advanced options and include only cooking utensils. This way I will have a very good split between two chests, one with utensils and the rest with condiments.

Trying to use the "Advanced view" when configuring containers, but on a 2k screen, there's not enough room for more than 1 option (and a cut off 2nd option). But it's in a list format.

I've tried everything I can to resize it but to no avail. Fine for including or excluding 1 or 2 items but no point in using it if I had to scroll and read this list 1 by 1 like this. Am I missing something?

I'm absolutely loving your mod! It is such an awesome QoL addition. Is there a way to select all the items on the list at once so I can exclude them from the container (rather than clicking the first one and scrolling down to the last one and shift hold+LMB)? I tried Ctrl+A but it doesn't seem to work.
