Auto Deposit

Chests standing close together form a group, such as a row or a stack of chests. Dropping an item near any chest in a group stores it in them, prioritising chests which already contain that item.

Only chests you could open yourself are used: not private chests of other players, chests inside someone else's ward, or chests another player has open.

Chest Panel

The chest panels have been improved with additional features and better layout handling.

Layout

The chest panel grows taller to show every row of big chests without scrolling, as far as the bottom of the screen. The wardrobe is shown as 10 columns by 5 rows instead of 5 by 10, with the panel widened to fit.

Deposit All

The open chest gets a Deposit all button under Take all. It moves everything in your inventory into the chest, except your hotbar (the top row of your inventory) and anything you have equipped, so you can empty your bags after an adventure without losing your gear. To keep other items too, such as your food, hold Alt and right-click them in your inventory. Marked items are also kept by Place stacks.

Sort

The open chest gets a Sort button under Place stacks. Sorting merges partial stacks, then groups related items together, in this order: wood, stone and minerals, ores, metals, creature parts, valuables, seeds, crops, raw meat and fish, food, meads, then ammo, weapons, shields, tools, armour, utility items and trophies.

Duplicates

Items in the open chest that another chest in its group also holds get a blue frame, so you can see what could be gathered into one chest. Hovering over an item in the chest makes the other chests in the group that hold it glow, and its tooltip says how many of them there are and how much they hold. Hovering over an item in your inventory does the same for every chest in the groups within auto deposit range of you, so you know where to take it.

Split Stack

The split stack dialog gets - and + buttons either side of the slider to change the amount by one, and so does the mouse wheel. These features are also available when splitting stacks in your inventory.

Configuration

Settings are in the BepInEx config file javidahmed64592.betterchests.cfg. Settings marked "(Synced with server)" use the server's values when the server has the mod installed.

Compatibility

• Other chest mods that add sorting, quick stacking or auto storing (such as Quick Stack - Store - Sort - Trash - Restock) overlap with this mod. Their keys may clash with R, T, F and G (all can be changed in the config file), and their buttons may overlap on the chest panel.
• This mod has not been tested with a gamepad, only with keyboard and mouse.

Uninstalling

The mod can be removed at any time. Items marked to keep (Alt + right-click) keep a small marker in their data, which does nothing without the mod.
