Implemented Being able to select by category in storage filtering

[Yrjosmiel]

Simple as that. For example, you want just to get everything that is in the mineral category. You will be able to do it in one click.

Ain't nobody got the time to repeat the same thing 20+ times.

Add "Draw like items" as well to suck in types that are already in the chest.

Yesss! I hate having to filter every capsule for each storage!

wait a sec didn't i see you in the nfd build server

 

[Equilibrium21]

What does that have to do with this? lol

 

[Yrjosmiel]

so you left the server just so you can check the forums? :D

 

[Equilibrium21]

Umm... no?

 

[Yrjosmiel]

Umm... no?

[Reilly Reese]

I approve

I AM GOING INSANE!!! My faction's new base includes a full sorter with remote access via a storage filter item request system. The problem is that the sorting part is making me crazy! Hull is such a simple category, but I have to go in individually and set five shapes and nine (I think?) colors for just one flippin' block! Now multiply that by the different types of armor. Then crystal armor. Then all the hazard stripes. All the system blocks were bad enough to set up but... bleh. This is not okay.

I tend to invert it. If I want to pull all of the minerals from a storage I'll type "raw" or "ore" in the search box for the pull list. When I comes up with all the "raw"entries (which are all the asteroid spoils) I add them all to the exclusion list and then set it up so that all other items are pulled to other stores and I'm left with what I want. All I do then is pull all of those contents into the manufacturing line and all done.

I'm not sure how to adapt that into what I'm doing without it being terribly inefficient. This is a far more complicated system than what you appear to be describing.

My system is composed of a main storage section where everything is stored and may be grabbed from sorted categories manually or called to a box elsewhere in the (very, very large) facility for pickup. Items may also be dropped from several locations around the base into boxes that get pulled back into the main sorter and storage. Some of the factories also draw materials directly from storage.

why the hell is this not yet recognized

we don't want to do the same fucking shit 30 times god damn it

 

[Yrjosmiel]

Dear moderators or whatever you call yourselves:

do you want me to bump the shit out of this?
because ignoring this will make me bump the shit out of this

 

[kiraen]

Chill. By all means, bump.

But being rude is not going to endear you to those who make these decisions. Quite frankly, if I was a mod, I'd be offended and just lock the thread to spite you. Good thing I don't have mod perms here. Especially since I actually support this idea.

They probably have weekly meetings. Maybe they are considering it. Maybe the guy who checks this stuff has the flu.
Of course, even if this gets approved, I wouldn't expect to actually see it in the game for at least a month, if not longer. Definitely not the next update.

So relax. Meditate, do some yoga, go blow the shit out of things in whatever shooter you prefer.

But keep it civil.

 

[shadowulf]

Agreed, just don't blow your top. I want this. +1

 

[Valiant70]

Crusade , could you possibly bump this to the council? It's an highly necessary and overdue feature. I know it will probably take a while to code, but there are three coders now, right?

see? even this guy knows the pain.

(actually a bump in disguise)

 

[Yrjosmiel]

seriously guys
this isn't recognized yet
where the council at tho

 

[hunterRAE]

OK, Yrjosmiel chill out a bit. Most things that are good come out of fleshing out the idea and patiently waiting for a reply that will validate that this is a thing that should happen. I agree this is something that should happen, so please relax, because your rage can be constructive and not jeopardize the idea proposed. Your rage discourages if pointed at the mods or devs, because they have several things going across their proverbial desk. Please, if any of the Moderators or Developers are watching, please at least confirm that if this is being processed, it would be greatly appreciated.
