Works with existing saves for singleplayer and multiplayer.

What's the purpose?

You've just finished a big haul, you're back at your base and now you have to unload everything. Wouldn't you want to be able to select everything and ask the game to filter for you? Well now you can! All you have to do is set which category your containers accepts and you're set.

How to use

Right click any container and select "Configure Container". This will bring up the list of item categories based on the items present in that save. It works the same as

  • Left click to set one category.
  • Ctrl + Left click to add/remove a single category.
  • Shift + Left click to bulk add/remove categories from the previous click to the current click.

After you've set the item categories you want this container to receive, here are the two ways to transfer.

  • Selecting multiple items in your inventory, right clicking and selecting transfer to assigned containers.
  • Shift + Transfer All for your selected inventory.
  • Alt + Shift + Transfer All for all inventories.

Helpful Tip

If want to prevent item(s) from being transferred, mark them as favorite and they will stay in your inventory.

Compatibility

This works with any mods that recategorize items (In fact it's better with!). Including Better Sorting or any other mod that recategorize items

Gamepad Support

Gamepad support is barebone but functional (best of my knowledge)

  • To manage the specific container, make sure it is highlighted. You can toggle the inventory in order to cycle nearby containers.
  • To Transfer All applicable Items in the current inventory, select the option Right Trigger + Transfer All
  • To Transfer All applicable Items of ALL inventory, select the option Right Trigger + Left Trigger + Transfer All

Special thanks to pimat.studio for the B42 patch & transfer all inventories feature
