[Space Age] Allow inventory slot filtering/fixing in space platforms.

Post by Darkona »

I would like to be able to middle-button click on space platform's inventory slots to make them specific for an item like the player's inventory. Refer to the given savefile:

Go to space platform "Wayfinder"

Look into the inventory, it increases and decreases constantly as stuff goes in/out

It's very hard to Ctrl+click an item in the lower slots to send it to the ground and a lot of missclicks happen.

If I could mark slots, those wouldn't move anymore and it would be easier to select stuff. I know I could set a logistic request on the surface for the items I want but it feels wrong that I can't simply click stuff to make it go down.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah, I've run into this, too, using the platform hub as a buffer for asteroid chunks. It's so frustrating that I probably won't do that in any future ship.

One other solution could be to change item sorting so that all the asteroid chunks appear at the end. I've already fixed the problem for every other item I buffer in the hub, by setting the limit to not be a multiple of a full stack, e.g., 490 iron instead of 500. But since chunks only stack to 1, there's nothing similar we can do for them.
