Pulling from item cashes (backpacks on the ground) possible?
Hi, awesome mod, thank you for all the effort!

Is it possible to pull from item cashes though? Atm it does only pull/vacuum items that are not in an item cash. No biggie but would like to change this if possible.

No, because that's an effective method to dispose of items you don't want picked up.

"Popcorn" the items you DO want picked up, (drop the stacks so you get the little "package") and "drop all" the rest.

You can also use the building helper to delete those backpacks, so you don't have to wait for them to despawn.

Yes and no. If you use S+, you can use the Transfer tool and select caches, but AA will not autopull via vacuum etc. :)

Thx for clarification, just thought beeing able to "drop all" when coming back from a Theri/Bronto wood farming orgy would be nice instead of "popcorning" (nice word for it ;) )

I now changed the console sorting timer to 60s and enabled dino pulling which works allright.

Maybe a "pull-plattform" for the dino to stand on or something similar would be nice? I think some mods have that, no idea how complicated that would be to implement though.

....and 20 seconds after writing my post I realize that you can press N on the building helper to do a manual sort which is amazing and satisfies all my needs ;)
Thx again for this great mod!

I just learned about that last night, during Blitz' stream. ("n" with the tool to enable a sort)

Dinos (except gachas) can be pulled from by the console, the option is in the wheel menu.

If you do NOT want them pulled from, put a ~ or * in their name.

Vacuum picks up the popcorned items, not console, and vacuum runs every 15 seconds.
