Any way to mark an item to NOT hot deposit?
Way too many times I hot deposit healing items, then travel all the way across the map before I realize.

I generally keep healing and equipment items in a separate chest from my resource chests.

I have the same issue with my arrows and the healing items and meals (I sometimes cook a day ahead).

I started doing the same thing as @Phadin, I put 'extras' of those specific things that I do carry all the time into a separate chest a bit away from all my other chests. It's still in the same room even, just on the other side from my main storage shelves.

So do you guys not use "N" to deposit to all nearby chests, and instead just hold E for each individual chest?

I either need to start doing that or pay attention and re-grab healing/arrows after depositing, lol.

@Nefai, "N" to deposit has a range, and it's not that long of a range.

My main crafting/storage room is 5 x 6, with my main storage on shelving units along 3 of the 4 walls, with crafting stations alongside (in between storage) and in the middle. Standing 1 tile offset from the middle in the direction of all the main storage is enough that a single chest on the far wall where I keep the extras of things I do NOT want to auto-store when pushing N is far enough away.

Yeah, marking an item "no hot deposit" would be great.
I love the feature, but i can't count how many times i deposited my aphid slippers, healing smoothies or even weapons if i have one with a different element in a chest somewhere.

I've just stopped storing pre-made green machines, bandages and splinter arrows for now to work around it.
Instead i just keep a stock of the mats and craft them when my carry-stack gets low.

Sucks cause I'll hot deposit stuff and then realize I'm missing my gas mask, arrows, repair tool, and other things I tend to keep on me. Turns out my wife deposited her gas mask, arrows, and her spare repair tool in a chest. I'd like to just have a chest where you can disable hot depositing to that specific chest.

That's actually a really good idea. It would be far easier for them to implement that the marking of individual items, so a solution more likely to actually get added.

The only solution I see in the short term is keep your resource chests far away from your gear/weapon/armor chests. Not an ideal solution I know, but it's the most practical one I can think of.

Why thank you. I have my moments. lol ;)

Being able to mark or lock items so they don't get hot deposited would be nice indeed, big QoL change for me since my base is pretty small...

The way I set up my base, my gear chest is on the third floor so just out of range normally (my crafting stations are first floor, most my other chests are second floor immediately over their respective crafting stations where possible). So I run in my house, hit N, explode in item deposits, and usually don't have a problem with specifically the gear. Though once or twice I messed up my smoothie setup specifically since the smoothie materials chest is in range, but I normally just make smoothies on demand before each trip (especially since I upgraded the milk molars option for it, so now I carry like 20 of them in a stack). I did have to put a second gear chest up there to, but that's because of making extra gear for the daily artificer quests and still not wanting my personal gear to get put away.

so what you do is, put the items that you dont want to NEAR DEPOSIT into one chest. then while in the inventory of that chest on the bottom right corner is the near deposit toggle switch. turn that off.

You can turn the chests of for hot deposit..for example arrows in a chest, turn the chest off and you wont put arrows from your inventory in the arrow chests with N.

(workaround)
