Anyone else getting really tired of the HOURS of time it takes to set up storage filters for your faction's storage rooms on your faction's homebases? To set up storage filters for every block you need to have auto-sorted, you have to search for it in the list, then click it, then repeat the process over and over and over until you get each specific block you want to be filtered to that storage block. It's incredibly annoying and takes a painfully long time. And then, after that, you have to set the number of blocks each individual block type would pull on the filter when linked to another storage chest. Worst part is that there is currently a bug where you can't set that pull number on multiplayer unless you click OK on the menu and then go back and do it again, which takes even LONGER.
So that's why I think it would really be helpful if we had the ability to save the filter settings a storage block uses, so we could just simply load the filter again on another storage block at a later date, so we only have to do it once and never again. It'd made resource management for factions so much quicker and easier.
Additionally, it'd be very helpful if we could set filter types to extract a specific type or category of blocks all at once rather than having to select every single type of block. For example, if you have a storage chest that you want to store only advanced armor blocks in, but yet there's close to 50 different types of advanced armor blocks, instead of it taking you 15 minutes to click and search for each of those individual blocks in the menu and add them one-by-one, then set the amount of each advanced armor block to be pulled by the filter setting, you could do it in 15 seconds by just clicking a button or something that automatically selects and includes all advanced armor blocks in your search at once, and sets the number of each of them together that you want to pull.
Altogether, this would go a long way toward streamlining and speeding up storage sorting and management for faction resources, as well as for players playing by themselves. No more mindless hours spent repeatedly clicking and searching and dragging and typing for each individual block for a filter, you could just load up a saved filter preset of blocks to be dragged to that chest, and bam, done!
