"Deposit All ..." priorities

When using the "Deposit All" button or shortcut, the items being deposited should go into inventories following priorities that are intuitive to players:

Firstly, put them in blocks in the same grid that contains the inventory selected on the right (or interacted with using the shortcut). The blocks in that grid should be further prioritized in the order of cargo containers and then connectors (no production blocks yet).

Secondly, check subgrids that are connected to that grid via rotor, hinge, or piston and fill cargo containers and connectors. Then do the same for sub-sub grids, then sub-sub-sub grids, and repeat until all subgrids are exhausted.

Thirdly, go back to the first grid and start filling production blocks, then production blocks in subgrids, then in sub-sub grids, et al.

Fourthly, go back to the first grid and start filling tools (drills, grinders, and welders), then tools in sub grids, sub-sub grids, et al.


Lastly, repeat the above for grids connected to the first grid through only a connector.

Also, omit hydrogen generators from all of this. They often get filled with items that can only be removed manually since their inventory slots are considered input slots.


This should make the grid interacted with fill before other connected grids with minimal clogging of production systems, which is what one would expect intuitively.
