Smart Chest

Please leave a message if you encounter any bugs or have feature suggestions. My own testing is never sufficient enough. This is my first mod, so I apologize for the many bugs when it was first released. I will fix them as soon as possible if you report them. If you like this mod, please give it a thumbs up. Thank you very much. ❤❤❤

You're a mature chest now, learn to pick up things by yourself

Basic Features: Chests near placed minisigns can collect corresponding items.

• Collected items are determined by nearby (minisign patterns)
• Items from (discarded items, loot drops, periodic drops, fish overflowing from ocean trawlers) will be collected
• (Opening the chest) will make this chest actively collect once

Special Minisigns:

• Collect all items
• Collect items that exist inside the chest
• Blank minisign does not collect nearby items (disabled by default)
• Which minisigns have special functions can be set (some uncommon items are provided as candidates in mod options)

Other Features:

• Minisigns are fireproof
• Special minisigns can be renamed

Explanations:

• minisign_drawn: refers to minisigns with drawn items here
• minisign_drawn_minisign: refers to minisigns drawn with minisign_drawn here (no nesting allowed)

Compatible with Smart Minisign mod: workshop-1595634294 Compatible with the new version of 3-slot meat rack, now you can dry meat in batches with one click! Infinite containers are also properly supported

Detailed introduction of some features of this mod

• Compatible with chests from other mods. Specifically, all items with container components that don't move (so Chester is not included), which also includes backpacks.
• [list]
• Backpacks are not buildings and can be moved. When a backpack is placed on the ground, it detects nearby minisigns and sets the items it collects; when the backpack is picked up, the collection function is turned off.

[*] Special minisigns have inverse selection function

• For example: A chest with a minisign that collects all items will collect all nearby dropped items. If you don't want it to collect traps, you can insert a trap minisign at the same time (using building geometry to insert multiple minisigns into the same position).

[*] Multiple minisigns can be inserted into the same position using building geometry

• This allows a chest to collect multiple types of items

Some functions that can be achieved with this mod

1. Multi-branch Tree Factory

• First place a chest and insert a twig minisign. Then plant multi-branch trees within the set collection distance but outside two tiles (distance 8) from the chest.
• This way, the twigs dropped by multi-branch trees will be automatically collected.
• You can also place several super tackle boxes at the twig minisign to increase the storage capacity of twigs.
• When the chest is full and you want to stop, you can place stacks of 2 twigs under the multi-branch trees, placing them every two tiles. (This utilizes the mechanism of multi-branch trees generating twigs)

2. Marble Factory

• Similar to the multi-branch tree, but you need to subscribe to another mod to make marble trees drop items too.
• No need to keep a distance of two tiles from the chest. Because multi-branch trees detect twigs in the chest, while the one implemented by this mod doesn't detect items in the chest.
• Therefore, the multi-branch tree factory and marble factory can be merged in the same 3x3 grid area. Plant marble trees inside and multi-branch trees outside.
• The other mod is Small Function Collection

3. Fertilizer Factory

• Place a chest with a fertilizer minisign near a herd of beefalo.

4. Seed Collection

• Place a seed packet near a minisign that collects all items to automatically collect seeds generated by birds.

5. Some other collection scenarios

• Such as collecting drops from starfish traps for pigmen and bunnymen.
• Or collecting drops from gem factories, etc.
