Quicker item storage/sorting

[Nerdygamer1]

I'm surprised this has only been mentioned twice, years ago, but can we please get a way to quickly mass store items? Before anyone says it: yes, I'm aware we have shift-click to quickly put ONE item or stack of items into a container. I'm talking more along the lines of Terraria's Quick Stack button which basically looks at the contents of the chest you're looking in and takes everything from your inventory that matches that chest.

I like to hoover up every item I see in games and keep every item I find, so it can take literal minutes for me to sort a full inventory of loot into the proper chests. It doesn't sound like much, but it's boring and aggravating to be sitting there, scanning your inventory, trying to make sure you got all the beverages to go in the food chest only to realize you overlooked a stack of seeds which need to go into the gardening chest.

Roughly fits your needs, I think.

Edit: SMX also has similar functionality built in, if that's more your speed.

That first mod is the exact thing I've been needing. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to work, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's conflicting with my bigger backpack mod :x

Thanks for all your help tonight!

The ability to have two people access the same chest would be great.

Got it working. For whatever reason, it downloaded as a folder inside a folder, and the game didn't like that it couldn't find the ModInfo.xml where it thought it should be so it just decided to throw the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing out.

Unfortunately this is something that will likely never happen. It is a bit annoying, but, there's not a lot of good ways to do that at all; Even minecraft didn't allow it for the longest time, iirc (Not 100% sure it even does -now-, it's been awhile since I've played)

The main issue being the way that the unity engine handles the inventories; When a player accesses it, the system populates the item list, then sends it to the player- The player then makes whatever additions/removals/sorting changes they want, then send these changes back...The result is that, if a second player were to also enter this chest, at this time, Both players have a functionally different inventory they're modifying; Both could then empty the chest, and have duplicated the entire inventory just like that.

In fact, this is how the majority of the duping methods in 7DTD have functioned from the very beginning; For example one in A16(May have been an earlier version like 14 or 13) was to look inside a breakable block like a sink, store the items you wanted to dupe, exit the inventory, look inside it again, and have a second player break the block while you have the inventory open. What this resulted in was the contents of the block falling in a backpack, while the inventory stayed open because the contents had already been sent to the player; The player with the inventory open can then loot all to get the items back, and the dropped backpack also has a copy of all the items that were in the sink.

Edit: Also to consider; Latency duping, latency in updating, who has priority when an item is moved, etc, etc, etc..

Need a Consolidate button for storage containers

As the title suggests, I feel we really need a button to press that transfers duplicate items from one container to another.
