can anyone explain how the "straight to storage" upgrade works?

Bought it with ingame coin, it says you can send resources straight to storage from AFK and the rest will still drop on the ground.

soooo what does that actually do? what does it send to storage?

[MegaMidboss]

It deposits the first thing on a monster's loot table (which can be found on their card). Or when gathering resources it shoves the resource that the tree, or mining point or whatever provides into storage. This leaves you with the cards, statues and other drops to pick up off the ground.

thanks but unless im doing something wrong its not doing it, I just afk'd killing those first mushroom enemies and they dropped spore cap, card, sandwiched, small mana potions and spore tee, I would think atleast the spore caps would have been send to storage right?

EDIT: oh wait, I see there is a storage option when you come back from being afk

I'm having the same issue, bought the upgrade, but its not auto depositing, from what i can tell from other posts is their is a toggle to turn it on/off, but i cant find it.

There is a BIG STORAGE BUTTON on your afk popup box when you change character - click that ;o)

While the question itself was answered, I'd like to ask others something related.
It jus bugged out on me. Can anyone confirm whether it actually works or is bugged? I just came back to my fly catcher, deposited 12 billion flies and nothing happened. They literally just vanished. (side note: the other items that dropped on the floor were perfectly fine) They didn't go to storage and they didn't count for the vault upgrade of bugs caught (only thing I can't tell is whether it auto atomised them before hitting the storage because I didn't check that number before), it's still where I left it yesterday, yesterday an hour or so of afk gains certainly did work depositing straight to storage from AFK gains.

Possibly another overflow bug, meaning one should be fine if they deposit less than a billion but I'd like to know if anyone can tell better before I get into my fisher and deposit that stuff...

edit: nevermind I guess, it at least appears to auto atomise the amount of stuff going past the 1050m stack size. At least after spending particles and then depositing the fish my particles went up *slightly* from 262k to 263k...though that might also just have been the regular 3D printer output?
Didn't check the fish numbers because they were irrelevant, judging from the 166 million of items deposited and vanishing as well.

Final correction: depositing resources directly into storage will not count them for the vault upgrades, so as of now it is bugged. With that I also assume they don't count for anything else other than possibly being converted into particles. Rare items for example do not vanish despite being deposited in with the rest of the resources, no problem there.
