Dimensional depot

[Standardcake]

Is there a way to prioritize using in inventory items first before the stored materials first? or am i going to have to just use them all, disassemble the dimensional depot, and rebuild it later? im tired of having to go back and fill it (i like having it full because it looks nice, but if its going to cause a headache i wont use it for awhile)

At the top of the personal inventory window, there is a tick box with "Use from Dimensional Depot First". Just un-tick that and you're set.

Or it's not ticked and you need to tick to use inventory first. Either way, tick box, at top of inventory (or DD inventory).

What, I'm tired and in an airport so I can't check which way it is.

Tick box definitely exists, though.

Bah, sleep is for people who don't play Satisfactory :P

(Seriously, look after yourselves, your factory rebuild #136 can wait, there's always tomorrow).

To be fair, it should be checked by default. Why would anyone ever want to prioritize building from the Depot?

maybe, because a dimensional depot fed by a production line can then start producing again...

very usefull for item such as concrete or plastic, tho nothing like building tons of dimensional depot intake can fix, but at mercer sphere cost i guess. sure there's plenty but i suppose it's an exploration issue,

To start with sure... but later when you have enough Depot Uploaders connected to your factories / main storage. Its better to build from it directly.

Like the only time you will need to grab any mats is to start a mega build. LIke I built a massive storage mall, and I rarely go in there. Its really weird cause I over-engineered it.

Never had to grab a stack of Silica or Quartz, or Iron Rods... rarely need to restock on Cables or Wire.

Sometimes if I am about to build something I will just manually take out the stacks from the Dimensional Storage and by the time I run out of those items, the Dimensional Storage is restocked. I built a 2 Nuclear Pasta per minute factory with nothing in my inventory but ammo and bombs.

My issue is doing a big build and often placing things that aren't aligned properly, so I dismantle and replace it. Unless I build from Inventory first ,I end up with a bunch of building materials in my inventory. And the DD is already full again, so I can't pop them back into DD.

What use case is there for NOT clearing the mats from your inventory first?

Is there ever a time you want something to stay in your inventory, and don't want it to be used for building/crafting? The only item I carry in my inventory is Jetpack Fuel. Everything else is in DD.

MAM research, milestones.

I would just pull stacks out from DD in those cases.

There are some things in the game that doesn't pull directly from depot, but I want a 'reserved' space of X items per product. Say you have 2500 concrete in DD, but you want to rebuild, and get a lot of concrete back and inventory goes full. Then you get a crate, but if you can have a reserved space (a percentage that grows along with upgrades) for each item, then you can add more by uploading, but the reserved space is not filled by the DD itself
