Description


Sort your stuff!

This mod can sort furniture/structures into appropriate tabs.
It started as an improved version of the LigtsTab (by betaALPHAs) but since that version relied on patches it was very complex and hard to maintain.

Instead this mod uses C#-code to sort things after they have loaded, removing the need for specific patch-files for each mod/item. The downside is that it requires a rescan of the changed tabs at startup but this should add no more than at most a few seconds depending on how many tabs has been changed.

Currently the mod supports the following sorting:

- All lights to a separate Lights-tab
- All walls and doors to the Structure-tab
- All floors to the Floors-tab
- All beds and linkable furniture to a separate Bedroom-tab
- All hospitalbeds and linkable medical furniture to a separate Hospital-tab
- All tables and sittable furniture to a separate Tables/Chairs-tab
- All decorative items to a separate Decorations-tab
- All kitchen furniture and linkables to a separate Kitchen-tab
- All research furniture to a separate Research-tab
- All Ideology ritual-furniture to a separate Ideology-tab

Special case
- All storage-containers to the Storage-tab
If Extended Storage or LWM's Deep Storage is loaded their Storage-tab will be used instead.

Options dependent of other mods:
- All garden-tools to the Garden Tools-tab of VGP Garden Tools
- All fences the Fences-tab of Fences and Floors

Other options:
- If a tab is empty after the sorting the mod can remove it
- If a tab does not currently show anything due to research missing, it can be hidden
- You can sort all tabs alphabetically, the Zones and Orders-tab can be skipped
- You can also sort the tabs manually
- Items that use the same button can be moved all at once, for example stuffed floors
- Manual sorting - if some items gets in the wrong place, move them around.
- Create new tabs to sort to
- Added support for marcin212's Architect Icons
- Sort the main buttons
- Sort the order of buildable items
- Sort buildable items alphabetically

If you find any item that don't get sorted or gets sorted in the wrong tab, please leave a report of what item and from what mod it comes from. Either here in the comments or at the support-channel via the Discord-link below.
Also, if you have any ideas on more stuff that can be categorized, just let me know and Ill look into it.

Big thanks to SmashPhil for the help and coding examples when I made a better (good) version of the settings menu!
Also thanks to AUTOMATIC for the well structured code for the miniature icons from the Recipe Icons mod!


Since modding is just a hobby for me I expect no donations to keep modding. If you still want to show your support you can gift me anything from my Wishlist or buy me a cup of tea.

@Eclipse I dont know what that is

Is it possible to make it compatible with drag sorting?
Reverie 21 Aug @ 11:08am 
If anyone else ever wonders - I just went to the Dubs Skylights mod and edited the .xml file label and it worked.
Reverie 21 Aug @ 8:48am 
Oh, but is there a way to rename the tab at least? I could shove something into those skylights tab if I could rename it to farming or something :D I seem to recall doing something like that in the past, but for the life of me, I can't remember how...
Reverie 21 Aug @ 8:37am 
Hmm, damn. Well, guess all I can do is send you some good brainy vibes and hope you figure out of how to deal with those pesky orders once. Thanks for the reply!
Mlie  [author] 21 Aug @ 7:25am 
@Reverie 1. This is due to them being orders and not buildables. Orders are not things in the game but added to each architect menu in various ways. I have yet to come up with a good way to handle these.
2. Not really, if you have the option to remove empty menus after sorting they will not be shown in game but the settings gui will always show all tabs to enable sorting things into them.

I'll preface this with saying: this is the most need-to-have mod in existence for me. I love it. That being said, I've a couple questions:

1. Is there a way to display and move "deconstruct" buttons? A good example would be trying to move Dubs Skylights (just 4 items) from their separate tab to some other (let's say Misc.). I can move the lights, but the tab is still present and it has "Deconstruct Skylight" button inside it that I don't know how to move. I think it also happens with any mod that adds new pipes (like Ushanka's Luciferium Imperium and the like).

2. Is there a way to remove emptied tabs in the sorting menu in mod settings? Minor thing, it's just clutter, no biggie anyway.
Schadenfreude 14 Aug @ 6:33am 
Did this break on the latest patch? I don't see the arrows to rearrange the tab positions anymore.
LAFFEN 3 Aug @ 3:17pm 
@Mile I think all cases of Korean.

For example, I created a tab '설비' (which means facility in Korean) to move the structures added in a mod other than the walls and doors, such as roofs, stairs, and so on to another tab. But it said it's a tab that already exists, even if the basic structure tab of Rimworld is called '구조물'.

Regardless of these examples, tab creation was not possible with all the Korean I created.
