Manage Containers

Description
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 + transferAll for your selected inventory.

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, select the option Transfer All + Right Trigger

We need to find a way to get the raccoon(The Indie Stone) to add the features of this mod to the future updates of B42.:steammocking:

41.78.16 and I'm not seeing a "Configure Container" option when right clicking a container.

100% does not work with proximity inventory which is super sad because both are great mods, and arguably, would compliment eachother very well! But I understand why - due to how both interact.

possible compatibility issue with proximity inventory

It seems like washing machines completely ignore the configuration and anything not configured anywhere else in range will go straight into it. Also, for some reason, if I set Electrical and Explosive and Fire Source, it will start filling up with pens as well, even though there's a Household/Weapon set on a nearby container in range. Corner counter, so could be related to Pointlezz' issue too.

Hello, there is a bug with corner counter A, corner counter B and middle counter. Every time I select "Configure Container" , several errors start to appear

And if you click on apply without having any preset, an error also occurs.

Here is a video to demonstrate the bugs: https://imgur.com/a/5dAZedh

Works great! Just wondering if there's an easy way to unassign a container
