Huge QOL improvement - inventory sorting
I feel when mining and producing stuff it gets very messy and hard to see how much of each resource i have (think of a station or production ship) - with may cargo containers, some full some empty and the UI being very large, not fitting many items on he screen, i constantly must scroll and type in every resource one by one in the search field and even then stack them manually.
that costs huge amount of time.
so:
- 'sort all' button, like in Satisfacotry, a button that just stacks everything as much as possible
- and 'overall' / combined view of all resources (at least in connected containers - like 'container - group1') without them being grouped by containers maybe, saves a lot of UI space, and much easier to see at a glance.
what i mean, a toggle button or sth like that in the inventory menu to switch from the current view to the combines view, which then shoes all the resource types ONLY ONCE in total, like GRID A has: gold [66 tons]. maybe even 2 variants, one for the total grid or at least if that would break things, for connected containers together. so i only see each icon for each resource once. maybe even always in the same order (maybe with a pin as favorite button or sth).
and when moving items between (the left and right pane, 2 different grids and so on) so i can just move between container groups the TOTAL AMOUNT and not caring which goes where (in which exact container), so if my storage consists of 10 containers each with 16t capacity i can still move 160t with one click.
especially since assemblers/smelters also have outputs. when doing 2-3 ore hauls and meanwhile producing a load of products, i end up always in a mess not knowing how much of anything there is. so i think something like my idea would help that a lot.
- Cargo Container having options/priorities. if i need 5 containers just for storing iron, i want to unload mining barge that the iron just always go in these containers and the other stuff fin others. so its more order in the inventory and less manual sorting is required.
-also if u have other/better ideas, all is welcome, i just think the inventory handling is very tedious and needs much more QOL, which i think is possible with even little to medium effort.
I like this feedback
