Auto-Sort (Better Sorting)

Description
This is a mod to control/replace the way sorting is done in-game.

- Sort order is changed to follow the order defined in `Auto-Sort.json`. (Assuming the file doesn't exist in the first place.) (See [Configuration](#Configuration))
- The online storage tab is auto-sorted by the same rules. (This is a virtual / aggregate view of the inventories you have. This doesn't change or move the actual items, just the display order.)
- Player inventory "Stack" button rearranges items, compressing/restacking and ordering by the sort rules.
- Online storage "Stack" rearranges items, compressing/restacking all the inventories connected to online storage. (Again, ordering by the sort rules.)
- This also prioritizes storage containers over the drill storage, and fills the drill storage last, if there's not enough room in regular storage.
- Repair Packs are further sorted so the most damage one is listed first. This is because the game uses the first entry in your inventory when repairing.

Ah ok. That must have been changed awhile back in one of the game updates. I just remember from long ago that the module had to be open to be connected and accessible so I assumed it was still the same currently

No point. Closing a storage module doesn't change it's connected state to online storage.

Is it possible to make it so this mod can be set to leave certain items in the drill ship (boiler) inventory and never move those items to a separate storage module? Basically things like coal and turret ammo so if I close all the storage modules in a battle, the turrets still have ammo to use and the boiler and any power plants have access to coal. I also use the official mods so there's modded turrets and their modded ammo that would need to be added to the list of what to sort

Has stack size multipliers.

Is there a way to make a mod that only modifies the stack size in containers? I find that I run out of space so much with the small stack sizes

Had a similar issue in MP due to the host not having auto-sort active, in my limited understanding of the Modding SDK it could be enough to declare the Mod as ClientServer. Happy to play guinea pig, may need voice chat (steam/teamspeak/discord) and timezones (am currently UTC+2) to coordinate efficiently.

I have never experience anything like that in SP.
I have not tested this in MP (don't really have the ability to) and there are desyncs in that in vanilla here and there to begin with so that might be why.

I have a problem that since using this mod, sometimes when I try to take something out of my drillhip storage it keeps staying in there and instead duplicates in the drillship storage, but seemingly only visually, because i cannot take more out than i had put in but if I put it back inside it adds the stack i put inside but wont give me more than that.

Literally the third bullet point.

Correct. So... my question still stands; The inventory on the 'left. The players. Is that sorted by this mod as well?

((To confirm; I do understand the drill inventory is the grouping of storage modules +Front of the drill little storage box, which is referred to as 'Online'.))
