I am the unofficial maintainer of this mod my fork can be found over at

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2593266146

my fork should function with all current item types, if not, please leave a comment over on my page and I will look into it. There are some issues with the sorting code present in the original code when using very large grids I am looking into that but for now my sorting code is identical to the original and the primary changes are just sorting categories

As of Nov 2024, the mod is working fine for me. If you're wondering whether to give this mod a try, I highly recommend you do. It's soooo easy and helpful, I highly recommend it

Is there any way to sort out Plushies and Space Credits? Also, is there any way to have a container push instead of pull? Basically I have many cargo crates I don't want to have items in them, I only want them to fill up as a backup reserve in case everything else fills up

This mod no longer seems to be pulling inputs(ingots) from production blocks(assemblers), and all the threads/comments seem to be from 2+ years ago, is this mod still being updated?

@Cholarry I don't think you did it right. Pretty sure you're suppose to separate different stuff with commas ( , ). ie: cargo container 1 [Ingot/Iron:P1:53280,Ingot/Nickel:P1:53280]

Great mod, thank you. Just an FYI, Explosive keyword seems to work as singular, not plural Explosive's' as indicated in your description.

@cholarry I believe your issues is the double command [Ingot/Iron:P1][Ingot/Iron:53280] should just be [Ingot/Iron:P1:53280].

Also this seems to be the most updated version:

Ive got a slight problem. Im trying to have a certain amount of multiple items in a single container, using the [Item:Amount] command. But i found that only the last command "[Ingot:Stone:6660][Ingot/Stone:P1] is executed. am i missing something?

"
[Ingot/Iron:P1][Ingot/Iron:53280]
[Ingot/Nickel:P1][Ingot/Nickel:53280]
[Ingot/Silicon Wafer:P1][Ingot/Silicon Wafer:53280]
[Ingot/Gold:P1][Ingot/Gold:19880]
[Ingot/Platinum:P1][Ingot/Platinum:19880]
[Ingot/Cobalt:P1][Ingot/Cobalt:19880]
[Ingot/Silver:P1][Ingot/Silver:19980]
[Ingot/Magnesium Powder:P1][Ingot/Magnesium Powder:6660]
[Ingot/Stone:P1][Ingot/Stone:6660]
"

How can you sort the new ammo types from the warfare 2 update?

I'm noticing the new ammo types are ignoring exempt and split tags as well.

Will this be updated? is the dev even still around?

So I had Automated Inventory Sorting for about 1 day and I had to remove it from my dedi server because it was constantly rubberbanding us. No idea why any help would be much appreciated

nice mod thanks

@Syphond
If a user does not use names with the special strings like "myCargo01[SteelPlate:10000]"
this mod will do nothing! I guess they will never find out if you not tell them

if used on a server is it an optional system or will it try to work on all players cargo. We don't want to force player into using a system they don't want.

i have a new update of my economy fix update to add a filter category to the consumables

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2593266146

@cholarry yes it can!

What a great mod. Honestly - this is the dream of every space-autist.

But does anyone know if the containers can still be used as a Conveyor?

In the following example:

Build and Repair System - [Ingot] - Assembler

Can the Build and Repair System still pull from the Assembler?

checkrun 01th august 2021 -> all still runs fine for me
* this is a mod, not a script! Just add the mod and name the containers und machines
* use the 'bottle-fix' version (it fixes bottles and replaces original mod)

Should mention, I have it named [Component,Ore,Ingot] Industrial as I'm using the industrial cargo container mod.

Mod works fine for me, [Component,Ore,Ingot] is what I use on my cargo container and after about 5-8 seconds it pulls all ore, components, and ingots.

Does this still work?

I used to play with it a few years ago, but cannot get it to work nowadays at all. Can anyone post a FULL name that I would use to get, for example, a Basic Refinery that won't pull Stone no matter what? Including all the ":[]" etc characters, please...

@ignis
> Current Chat Commands:

I have not tested this but maybe worth a try?

It's work fine for me. I have a large base, an explorer ship and a miner. I set up to the explorer pull everything from the miner, and process it, the base pull everything from the ships.
But. Is there any way to turn of the shorting temporally? Sometimes I'd like to stockpile/transfer items from the base to explorer ship, but the sorter always pull it back :(
(I dont want to rename the containers, just turn off, dock, transfer item, leave base, turn on)
Thanx

@SimonUK: thank you for checking and posting!

This mod still works as it should as of 00:27GMT - 7th May 2021

just did a little testride and all works fine
No error in main menu
No error on loading savegame
Went some mining, all normal
Back home all ores get sortet and processed

How did you get the "critical error"? On start? When loading savegame?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427046472

critical error, not functioning

Quoting Docu: Format is 'Item:Ignore' for example [SteelPlate:Ignore]

Imho you can not ignore with prio. you ignore or you dont...

maybe worth a try? -> [Ore:P1, Ore/Uranium:Ignore]

Something is broken.
Ok, how do you pull all ore except uranium? [Ore/Uranium:Ignore:P1:Ore] doesn't pull anything.

[Ore,Uranium:Ignore:P1:Ore] pulls everything including uranium

I'm having issues with the mod sorting out: Field oxygen and hydrogen Bottles.

For those having issues getting this to work who didn't read the whole mod info, ensure you:
- have "Use Conveyor System" disabled.
- use "Ingot/Stone" instead of 'Gravel' if you're sorting gravel
- modify the name of the object

@big chungus
this mod never showed in the scipts list because it is a MOD
It works without a programmable block. Just have it included as a MOD in your savegame

If still have probles, just ask again. I think this mod is awesome
cheers

This stopped showing up in my scripts list, I've tried reinstalling the scripts, restarting my computer, installing every single fork of this script, but none of them are showing up in my list??

played SE again for some hours of fun and this mod still works fine!
* Ships will be unload from ore and filled with uranium
* Planet mining ship poop out stone if needed (keystroke - toggle) ONLY stone
* Batteries of ship will be loaded from base when connected
* Rounting through connectors on pistons with Rotors - tested - works just fine
* All routing in my base also still work fine

I will make a little Guide So I do not have to spam the section too much

Here is my little guide. just some basic information. Will be extended. have fun!

dont work at all with me

seems not work with Conectors on pistons it doesnt make them empty also id doesnt suck my ship dry

Can this be used to make sure my Assemblers always have Ingots by naming the Assembler with the Ingot tag and amounts? One of my biggest issues is when an Assembler bottlenecks full of one type of Ingot and can't load anything else.

@MunchyG

I have not played SE in a while and not tested it myself yet but I think it will work.
The Items are not named but refered by class (eg "ore")
Which Items are not sorted?

does this work with ecomomy items, if so what is there itemID?

@Bascselim

Bottles are broken in this version but there is a fork with a fix
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1301767562

uninstall this mod and install the fork. It has 2 lines added to fix the problem.
DONT use both mods together, the fork is this mod plus the fix!

I have managed to sort ores within ice but hydrogen bottles not moving between blocks. Help please ? ( Tried split command and disable/enable use conveyor system)

Thank you for this amazing mod. I use it in all of my creations. I am looking forward to see this mod get updated and new mods to be released in the future.

Hi there .
I really like this mod but for some reason on the server i loaded it , it stopped working at all .
It is assigned to me i did try using the priority on it but nothing gets sorted .
How i tested this i created a small platform with the folowing :
3 small containers , batery and then i spawned in ice and stone , one container had no added name , one had [ice] over and one had [ore/stone:p1] and none pulled anything.

1) how do I assign absolute priority to a container of ore if the other has a specialization for a specific type of ore?
example:
container 1 [Ore/Iron:P1]
container 2 [Ore:P2]
List in the first each type of ore and set priorities? After all, the container 2 does not pull iron ore, all the iron ore falls into container 1.

2) How to prioritize the refinery when the conveyor system is disabled and the plant is managed by a script. Which type of ore it takes first and which last. Can I set my own priorities?

3) Whether it is possible to reduce the frequency of triage. There were no performance issues, just to know

Hello. First of all, I want to thank you for your excellent work on creating this script. It is no-frills, purposeful and easy to manage. You closed a huge omission of the game developers. Yes, you can make a sorting system out of conveyors and sorters. Very optimal. But containers don't have a pull function. And the whole system doesn't make any sense. You fixed it. Thanks. However, I have questions about managing the script.

doesnt want to work with bottles any ideas?

Would recommend switching to a ingame script for this. Taleden's Inventory Manager [TIM] is a great replacement that features the same commands.
