Senpai's Chest

Version 2.2.4 — Smart chests with configurable item rules for hands-free storage organization in Sun Haven. Chest labels, rules by item/category/type/property/group, per-character saves.

2.2.4: Chest labels now anchor from chest sprite world bounds (top-center), fixing cases where labels appeared offset instead of directly above the chest. Museum-detected Todo tasks now include destination hall and item icon metadata for richer Todo/HUD display. Added a new By Category option: Undonated Items (museum-needed items via S.M.U.T), and the category now only appears when S.M.U.T. is installed. Adding a rule now auto-enables Smart Chest by default (configurable via AutoEnableSmartChestOnRuleAdd). Config file now uses BepInEx/config/SenpaisChest.cfg (auto-migrates values from the legacy GUID-named config on first load).

2.2.2: No per-scene disk reload that overwrote in-memory config. Rule deletion only when a chest actually leaves the world (picked up / destroyed): Chest.OnDisable plus guards for application quit and scene teardown (active scene replaced). Scene-discard suppression now tracks replaced scene handles long enough for slower transitions, so area changes do not delete rules. Sorts never delete saved rules; no scan-time “orphan” wipe.

Disaster recovery: Per-character saves live in BepInEx/config/SenpaisChest/Saves/<CharacterName>_smartchests.json. Each save renames the previous file to .bak. If your rules were overwritten with an empty file, exit the game and try restoring the .bak (copy it over the .json, or merge the Chests array from the backup).

Features

• Chest Labels — Labels above chests (Chest, Large Wooden Chest, BankChest). Configurable visibility. Excludes Hoppers and Animal Feeders.
• Smart Chests — Mark any chest as a Smart Chest and define rules for which items it collects
• Automatic Sorting — Smart Chests periodically scan nearby chests and pull matching items (scan interval configurable)
• Flexible Rules — Filter items by:
  • By Item — Specific items (search by name)
  • By Category — Equip, Use, Craftable, Monster, Furniture, Quest, Undonated Items
  • By Item Type — Normal, Armor, Food, Fish, Crop, Watering Can, Animal, Pet, Tool
  • By Property — Gems, Forageables, Animal Products, Meals, Fruits, Artisanry Items, Potions, Museum (Not Donated)
  • By Group — Your own custom subcategories (e.g. Flowers, Vegetables). Create groups in Manage Groups, add items via search, then attach to chests with one click.
• Per-Character Saves — Each character's Smart Chest settings are saved separately
• Multiplayer Safe — Skips chests that other players are using

Usage

1. Open any chest
2. Press F9 (or your configured key) to open the Smart Chest configuration
3. Enable Smart Chest and add rules for items this chest should collect
4. Close the config and the chest
5. Matching items will be pulled from nearby chests automatically on each scan

Configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/SenpaisChest.cfg:

Notes

• Smart Chests do not pull from other Smart Chests (prevents loops)
• Chests in use by another player are skipped
• Configuration is tied to chest position; moving a chest resets its config

Tips — Fine-Grained Sorting

The game's ItemType "Crop" includes flowers, vegetables, and all crop types. Use By Group for the easiest way to separate them:

1. Open a chest, press F9, and click Manage Groups
2. Create a group (e.g. "Flowers"), search for items, and add them
3. Use By Group when adding rules to attach the group to any chest with one click
4. Reuse the same group across multiple chests—edit it once to update all of them
