Item Sorting System [No Longer Developed]

Mod ID: 543828831

I'd now reccomend if you wish to have a better version of this mod look into Structures Plus ( http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731604991 ).

If you're interested in a near identical copy of this mod currently being developed, look into Vaccum Sorter ( http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=834667662 )

I will be leaving this mod up for ease of use sake, but if you stumble upon this mod, I'd reccomend diverting your attention to the above two.

Item Sorting System adds a new storage container that when powered is able to transfer items into any storage box. This gives a way to quickly store resources and other items after successful raid or a long farming session without having to manually move items into boxes yourself.

GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/AdvanceStorage/PrimalItemStructure_Sorter.PrimalItemStructure_Sorter'" 1 0 false

Sorting Chest

ANY Container using StructureItemContainerBaseBP (Storage Boxes, vaults, modded containers, etc..)
Suggest other inventories below.


Items are sorted into boxes that contain the same item. For example, if you have a Large Storage Box with Metal Ingots and Metal Ore, both Metal Ingots and Metal Ore will be moved to that Storage Box when you press sort. If the Storage is full, the items will be dropped on the ground

Boxes within 4000 units (13 Foundations) can be sorted to. Currently ignores box names, but may be supported in the future.

Mod Structures using StructureItemContainerBaseBP can now specify "NotSortable" in the tags to prevent the sorting chest from interacting with it.
Any container using SturctureItemContainerBaseBP will be sorted into otherwise. It's up to you to keep items where you want them.


in GameUserSettings.ini on the server. You can copy and paste this as a template

[SortingMod]
;SORT RANGE defines how far it will detect containers. A foundation is 300x300 units.
;Default = 4000
SortRange=4000

;DEVELOPER MODE allows the sorting chest to work unpowered.
;Default = false
DeveloperMode=false

;DEBUGGING prints information to the server logs which is useful to the developer.
;Default = false
DebuggingMode=false

;NEXT ITEM SPEED sets how quickly the sorting chest will begin searching for a container again after placing / dropping an item
;Default = 1.0
NextItemSpeed=1.0

;CHECK SPEED how quickly it will jump to the next containers inventory and scan there.
;Default = 0.1
NextContainerSpeed=0.1

;SORT EMITTER LIFETIME how quickly the emitter will disappear when it finds a place to store an item.
;0 to disable
;Default = 5.0
MaxSortEmitterLifetime=5.0

;SCAN EMITTER LIFETIME how quickly the emitter will disappear after 'locating' a new container when scanning.
;0 to disable
;Default = 5.0
MaxScanEmitterLifetime=5.0

Since this is relatively powerful and removes the entire need to manage inventory once it's setup, it requires

300x Metal Ingots
40x Eelectronics
50x Cementing Paste
40x Polymer
50x Oil

Sorting Chest can be picked up and moved similar to turrets.

When Sort Item is pressed, the chest grabs a list of every container matching StructureItemContainerBaseBP (minus FuelBurners). It then Compares the first item inside the sorting chest (We'll reffer to this as MyItem) to every single container's content. If a container is found to contain MyItem, it then checks if the container has room for MyItem. if MyItem can fit, even partially, it will move whatever amount it can fit inside that container without causing it to overflow.

If MyItem cannot find a home, it's dropped on the ground to
1) Allow the chest to continue sorting.
2) Give players feedback for their item's not sorting.
