Merged inventory blocks

It would be tremendously nice if the inventories of big ships with multiple blocks of the same type were merged together so we wouldn't have to scroll so far every time we go gather a missing component or bottle of hydrogen.


It could be even more useful if the inventory system overall was just one block for the whole ship that you place any component, ore, ingot or tool. Under this layer of accesibility, the components can get pulled to its refineries assemblers and whatnot, but are always accessible as a shortcut in one big block menu where they are nicely stacked next to each other, always ready.


Thanks for having a read!

hrm, make the merged inventory be based on Block name, so if you have 3 cargos have named "Component Cargo", It would be seen as one.

Small problems do arise though. In the event of one or more of those containers getting deleted/shot/damaged, what happens to the contents? Not too keen on this idea. A little too much opportunity for bugs, exploits and ...unhappiness in general.

I don't think of it as a complete transfer of the physical components and ores and materials, rather just an interface for the inventory to quickly pick up what you want. It shouldn't be a complete overlay too, youre right, more just an icon like those filters to click on and see the items there in that manner and behavior.

This would be absolutely amazing- is there a mod that does this?

As far as I know I havent found any :c.


I havent looked around for a while tho, and was thinking of trying to make one if not busy, but uni studies do make the tension.
