Manage Containers

Description
Works with existing saves for singleplayer and multiplayer.



What's the purpose?
You've just finished a big haul, you're back at your base and now you have to unload everything. Wouldn't you want to be able to select everything and ask the game to filter for you?
Well now you can! All you have to do is set which category your containers accepts and you're set.

How to use
Right click any container and select "Configure Container". This will bring up the list of item categories based on the items present in that save.
It works the same as
  • Left click to set one category.
  • Ctrl + Left click to add/remove a single category.
  • Shift + Left click to bulk add/remove categories from the previous click to the current click.
After you've set the item categories you want this container to receive, here are the two ways to transfer.
  • Selecting multiple items in your inventory, right clicking and selecting transfer to assigned containers.
  • Shift + transferAll for your selected inventory.

Helpful Tip
If want to prevent item(s) from being transferred, mark them as favorite and they will stay in your inventory.

Compatibility
This works with any mods that recategorize items (In fact it's better with!). Including Better Sorting or any other mod that recategorize items

Gamepad Support
Gamepad support is barebone but functional (best of my knowledge)
  • To manage the specific container, make sure it is highlighted. You can toggle the inventory in order to cycle nearby containers.
  • To Transfer All applicable Items, select the option Transfer All + Right Trigger

can you see before opening the containers what it is? Otherwise there's no point right?

I think I get the same error and it's ONLY when I mark the icebox as target container, when I switch it all to the fridge itself, it's OK, and I get this error from time to time, not always. I posted this problem in Bug Report thread but the author seems to be busy.

Any replacement for Better Sorting for B42 unstable? Manage Containers isnt the same without Better Sorting

Came across a LUA error and the mod isn’t functioning as expected—just posted about it in the Bug Report discussion.
Appreciate all your work on this, @Jeff!:steamhappy:

I set the container but i can still add something i didnt set for it. I dont understand whats the problem actually in b41 coop

@Jeff, firstly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing QoL mod, have been using it since the past build, so thanks for bring it for the most recent one as well.

Secondly, just tested the mod with 130 mods active on the latest patch(42.7), i dont have any issues or bugs, as expected.

@The Toblin, that is a issue on your end, it being mod conflict or mod load order, if it gave "a red LUA error" why dont you post it on the afixated thread "Bug Report"? Learn how to report a bug/error if it even exist.

Cheers.

Completely broken for B42. Doesn't even show up when you right click inventory. Just produces a red LUA error.
