Having trouble with storage/sorting?

[genoforprez]

I possibly just don't understand it.

I've noticed that sometimes when I click on "autofill", the items in my backpack will automatically sort into the corresponding stacks in storage. But also sometimes they don't.

The problem isn't that they are in the hot bar. Two items it has happened to are throwing rocks and sandberry. I've had a chest open with those items inside, and then those items in my inventory but NOT in the hotbar, and they don't get stacked by autofill, but I can pick them up and manually place them on the stack and it works. It just seems to happen here and there sometimes.

I'm also wondering if there is an option to sort into all nearby chests instead of just the one I'm focusing on? I'm guessing no, but would be cool.

I'm also curious what "transfer without sorting" means when using the "sort all" button. I tried checking the box thinking this meant that my items would be transferred to the relevant stacks in the chest WITHOUT rearranging the chest (I like sorting things myself). But it still transferred the items AND auto-sorted my chest, so I'm not sure what it does.

Thanks!

If you hold the sort button while the cursor is in your inventory...not the chest...it will automatically fill all items regardless of which chest is open...the problem with some items not stacking persist though...I believe that the milk is another item that doesn't stack

Yeah, I figured out how to stack into the currently open chest. I'm just confused on a few things. So for example (using KBM controls for this explanation).

There are two yellow buttons with the chest open. One button is named [AUTOFILL] and the other button is named [SORT ALL].... but they seem to do the same thing? What's the difference???

Then if you click on SORT ALL (or hold the sort button on controller), then it opens a dialogue window where you can optionally check a box that says "transfer without sorting".

Regardless of whether you check this box or not, it transfers the items AND auto-sorts the chest, so I don't understand what it does.

It's good to know that the random items not stacking is a known issue, though, and I'm not just going crazy lol

Auto Fill is for that single chest, Sort All is for your inventory to sort into all chests.

Thanks, I'll test this out.

Hopefully I can deposit into all chests without it also auto-sorting all of my chests. I can't figure out how that option works. (Seems to auto-sort my chests whether I check the box or not.)

*edit*

yeah the "transfer without sorting" option seems busted. It completely screws up the sorting of all my chests whether I check that box or not, so I guess I can't use the deposit-all option for now =\

Okay, I did not know you could auto fill ALL your chests. So, good to know.

But, what I want to know is, can you change the ORDER of your chests without manually taking everything out of one and putting it in another.

They are alphabetical by name, so you can rename your boxes (without touching the contents) to "01A Things", "01B Stuff", etc.

OMG Thanks.
