Implemented Being able to select by category in storage filtering

[JimmyJamba]

Hahaha, I want this so much, not willing to stab someone though. Categories would be nice but would love the ability to use wildcards to pull items.

Yrjosmiel I've set a recurring reminder every couple days to bump this so I don't forget or in case no one else bumps it!

Well, considering how often this thread was bumped, how it is amongst the tasks of the council to read suggestions, and how one of the councillors is known to recieve an alert whenever a new post is made in any forum or thread he has access to *cough*me*cough*, it is highly unlikely, that no councillor read this thread and every post it contains.

Improvements to the storage filtering system for more ease of setting up is planned. No stabbing though.

Ye that sig is probably reportable for something.

 

[hunterRAE]

Thank you Bench for hearing our grievances, I truly appreciate it. :>

I came up with these a while ago (as you can tell by the UI scheme.) during one of the many other threads about this. If the devs are listening to this, I'd figure I'd post them here.
The one thing I hadn't put on here was import/exporting lists. List format would be some identification of the blocks, a comma, and then the quantity.
so like

542,99999

or

Grey Hull,99999

or

HULL_GREY,99999

or something like that. Personally I think the first version will be the one least likely to wind up with errors all over the place from misspellings.

To be fair, it's always been planned as an update since storage filtering was first added in.

I figured as much. It's just getting a little... ugh. I hope we don't have to wait too much longer.

Understandable, there's a lot of things that need addressing, but sometimes we'll put them off to do a bunch of them in one go. For example other plans for storage already exist that might include additional changes to the way storage is linked or interacted with, and rather than constantly going back and forward tweaking and re-tweaking it's easier to just wait and do it in one hit, and let that other time we would have spent go towards other things.

BUMP!

Oh my gosh this makes me so happy! Glad they will eventually do something about storage filtering being such a chore.

oops, accidently BUMPED this thread.
Must be more careful.

While you are at it, it would be nice if the copy/paste template feature actually copied storage and display modules correctly, including their links, names and pull list.
Currently it does not (v0.19401), multiplayer java 64 bit.

Yes this is true, that would be such a time-saver if you could copy storage filters by just copying the blocks with copy/paste.
