SmarterContainers

Introduction

My name is SchizoGee.

The original author of this mod is Flueno.

He has updated the mod, but it looks like he won’t upload it here, so I’m porting it myself.

Smarter Containers

This is an upload to get a new version. I take no credit for their work. Below is the README.

Features

Teaches your containers to automatically send items you put in them to other containers if they are already containing this item-stack.

Puts same-kinded items to their siblings; copper-ore goes to chest containing tin-ore and so on.

You can create such item-groups from any items combination - just put your carrots, stones and feathers in one box, click the button and from now on your carrots will go to chest with feathers.

Configure mod to load-out all specific loot-items from your inventory to a proper chests via a single button click.

How it works

When you put an item stack to a container via [Ctrl + Click], if container is full or doesn't contain same items:

• Check each nearby container and if it is not full and has same item (stack) - your item is routed there.
• Otherwise if none found, check each nearby container and if it is not full and has "relevant" group items - your items are routed there.

In other words: If group contains your item and chest contains any other item from a group, then your item will go to this chest.

General Configuration parameters

• range - defines area to locate "nearby" containers
• onlyStackableItems - (enabled by default) when enabled - non stackable items (tools, weapons, armor) are NOT rearranged
• hudMessageEnabled - (enabled by default) Enables hud message indicating that item was placed to some other chest.
• hudMessageText - HUD message consists of Icon, item-name plus this hudMessageText
• audioFeedbackEnabled - play ingame-sound if items are successfully distributed
• effectFeedbackEnabled - display a temporary visual effect over chests where your items were distributed

Grouping items

There are three available options to define an item-group:

• by explicitly listing all item-names of group-members
• by matching item-name prefixes: trophyboar and trophytroll are members of group with 'trophy' prefix
• by matching item-name postfixes: carrotSeeds and turnipSeeds are members of group with 'seeds' postfix
• by matching in-game item-type: Tool, Weapon, Ammo, Armor, Trophie

Grouping Configuration parameters

• enabled - (true by default) enables item groups logic
• itemTypeGroupsEnabled - enables grouping by item-types (Trophie, Tool, Ammo, Armor, Weapon).
• groupingKeyModifier - LeftControl. Change to "LeftControl + LeftShift" if you want separate hotkey for triggering grouping logic.

(holding ctrl is mandatory since it's a "move-stack" ingame key)

• createGroupBtnEnabled - (true by default) adds a UI button which helps to create custom item-groups
• createGroupBtnPos - adjusts button position
• fuzzyGroupingEnabled - (false by default) enable grouping by more broad criteria.

Preconfigured item groups

[ItemGroup] config section contains a set of item-names based groups:

valuables = ruby,coins,amber,amberpearl

ore = copperore,flametalore,ironore,silverore,tinore,ironscrap,blackmetalscrap

rock = stone,flint,obsidian

ingots = copper,bronze,flametal,iron,silver,tin,blackmetal

wood = wood,finewood,corewood,ancientbark

mushrooms = Mushroom,MushroomBlue,MushroomYellow

berries = Blueberries,Cloudberry,Raspberry,Honey

vegetables = Carrot,Turnip

cookedMeat = CookedLoxMeat,NeckTailGrilled,MeatCooked,FishCooked,SerpentMeatCooked

food = CarrotSoup,Sausages,QueensJam,SerpentStew,TurnipStew,BloodPudding

Preconfigured groups matching item-names by postfixes or prefixes

[PostfixedItemGroups] posfixes = cone,seeds,pelt,hide # i.e. CarrotSeeds will go to TurnipSeeds

[PrefixedItemGroups] prefixes = trophy,mead,arrow,armor,cape,helmet,atgeir,bow,battleaxe,knife,mace,shield,sledge,spear,sword,tankard # i.e. ArrowFire will go to ArrowFlint
