A suggestion, as this mod is pretty damn awesome though it wasnt exactly what I was looking for. The ability to automatically search for all the crafting materials you need for a recipe would be awesome.

Quick question, because I use the mod that lets me search the whole inventory around me and I was thinking this would notify me "immediately" that an item I wanted was on sight.

Like... let's say I'm looking for duct tape, I hit search and the dude takes a glance around and says "there's duct tape here/there/over there".

Is that it? because what I see happens is I automate some sort of long search (10+ mins) and at the end the player character says "yeah it's here in this shelf/crate/whatever"...

That or I'm doing something wrong, I'm not criticising the mod I just think I had a different idea of what was going to happen.

I'm using your mod, I like it, it's a good idea.
Thanks for fixing the problem.
Are there any other questions:
1. Tell me, is there any way to speed up the search time?
It’s just that when I want to feed a character using plates and spoons, I go to the cabinets and select “spoon” in the “Searsch Nearby” search mode, he searches for a very long time, sorts through something there, as if he is examining every item.
It is especially difficult and long, about 3-4 hours of game time is spent searching in the “Search Room” mode.

If the "Searsch Nearby" mode works in the active zone for use and moves one unit of the found item to the inventory, then I do not fully understand under what conditions the "Search Room" mode works?
2. Is it possible to slightly increase the display time of the “comment” by at least 1 second? It disappears and I don’t have time to read where the object was found.:steamhappy:

Thanks! I will wait for the correction. I will not delete the mod.

Activate search bar
I choose searsh nearby
I write "hours" - two options fall out
I choose any - I activate the search
Dead bodies lie nearby and watches lie in them.
Character checked corpses - says "watch not found":steamsad:

@Scourier there is now a "Take Item" option. When it's selected and the given item is found, Item Searcher queues an inventory transfer action.

Hey there @Krilton! I haven't implemented configuration for the mod as such *yet*, but I will put that on the roadmap. I'm tying up the next release of the mod now, which will put me in a better position to experiment with mod/sandbox options.

In the meantime, if you do get approached by a zombie, you can simply start walking to break off the current search.
Krilton Jan 12, 2023 @ 7:49am 
@Warhammer98 is there a way to add a sandbox feature to speed up the searching process?

It would suck if you start searching in an area that you think is clear and then have a zombie come up behind you, say you went AFK for a moment, and had you for "LUNCH". x.x
