Features

Teaches your containers to automatically send items you put in them to other containers if they are already containing this item-stack.
Puts same-kinded items to their siblings: copper-ore goes to chest containing tin-ore and so on.
You can create such item-groups from any items combination - just put your carrots, stones and feathers in one box, click the button and from now on your carrots will go to chest with feathers.
Configure mod to load-out all specific loot-items from your inventory to a proper chests via a single button click.

How it works:

When you put an item stack to a container via [Ctrl + Click] If container is full or doesn't contain same items:

check each nearby container and if it is not full and has same item (stack) - your item is routed there.
otherwise (if none found) check each nearby container and if it is not full and has "relevant" group items - your items are routed there.
In other words: If group contains your item and chest contains any other item from a group, then your item will go to this chest.

General Configuration parameters

- range - defines area to locate 'nearby' containers
- onlyStackableItems - (enabled by default) when enabled - non stackable items (tools, weapons, armor) are NOT rearranged
- hudMessageEnabled - (enabled by default) Enables hud message indicating that item was placed to some other chest.
- hudMessageText - HUD message consists of Icon, item-name plus this hudMessageText
- audioFeedbackEnabled - play ingame-sound if items are successfully distributed
- effectFeedbackEnabled - display a temporary visual effect over chests where your items were distributed

Grouping items

There are three available options to define an item-group:

by explicitly listing all item-names of group-members
by matching item-name prefixes: trophyboar and trophytroll are members of group with 'trophy' prefix
by matching item-name postfixes: carrotSeeds and turnipSeeds are members of group with 'seeds' postfix
by matching in-game item-type: Tool, Weapon, Ammo, Armor, Trophie

Grouping Configuration parameters

- enabled - (true by default) enables item groups logic
- itemTypeGroupsEnabled - enables grouping by item-types (Trophie, Tool, Ammo, Armor, Weapon).
- groupingKeyModifier - LeftControl. Change to 'LeftControl + LeftShift' if you want separate hotkey for triggering grouping logic. 
    (holding ctrl is mandatory since it's a 'move-stack' ingame key)
- createGroupBtnEnabled - (true by default)  adds a UI button which helps to create custom item-groups
- createGroupBtnPos - adjusts button position
- fuzzyGroupingEnabled - (false by default) enable grouping by more broad criteria.

Preconfigured item groups

[ItemGroup] config section contains a set of item-names based groups.

valuables = ruby,coins,amber,amberpearl
ore = copperore,flametalore,ironore,silverore,tinore,ironscrap,blackmetalscrap
rock = stone,flint,obsidian
ingots = copper,bronze,flametal,iron,silver,tin,blackmetal
wood = wood,finewood,corewood,ancientbark
mushrooms = Mushroom,MushroomBlue,MushroomYellow
berries = Blueberries,Cloudberry,Raspberry,Honey
vegetables = Carrot,Turnip
cookedMeat = CookedLoxMeat,NeckTailGrilled,MeatCooked,FishCooked,SerpentMeatCooked
food = CarrotSoup,Sausages,QueensJam,SerpentStew,TurnipStew,BloodPudding

Preconfigured groups matching item-names by postfixes or prefixes:

[PostfixedItemGroups] posfixes = cone,seeds,pelt,hide # i.e. CarrotSeeds will go to TurnipSeeds
[PrefixedItemGroups] prefixes = trophy,mead,arrow,armor,cape,helmet,atgeir,bow,battleaxe,knife,mace,shield,sledge,spear,sword,tankard # i.e. ArrowFire will go to ArrowFlint

###How it works: When you put an item stack to container via [Ctrl + Click]

if simple container lookup by same-item-name described above has no results then:
check each nearby container and if both container and your item are
- members of same item-names based group (either preconfigured or user-created group form [ItemGroup] config section)
- or members of same item-names-prefix based group
- or members of same item-names-postfix based group
- then item is routed there.
if none matched - check each nearby container and if container has any item with item-type same as your items type then item is routed there (could be disabled with itemTypeGroupsEnabled config option)
if none of the above matched and fuzzyGroupingEnabled option enabled - additional item-types based groups are checked: IsMaterial, IsConsumable, IsCustomization, IsMisc

Adding custom item groups

Put desired items set to a chest, click the [☼] button (at the bottom-left corner of chest panel). New group will contain all unique item-names from this chest.

Unloading items.

Configure item-groups & names which should be allowed for 'unloading'. Open any chest and click the [⇓⇓] button.

'Unloading' Configuration parameters

enabled - (true by default) enables unloading logic & UI button
btnPos - adjust button position
groupsList - List of items group-ids from [ItemGroup] config section allowed to be 'unloaded'
itemsList - List of item-names allowed to be 'unloaded'
itemsSkipList - High-priority list of item-names to exclude from being 'unloaded'
alwaysGrouping - (true by default)  - grouping logic is always on for uloading. Otherwise - pressing of groupingKeyModifier required.
addToItemsFilterKeyModifier - If pressed - overrides createGroupBtn behaviour by passing item-names to unload 'itemsList' instead of creating new items group
addToSkipItemsFilterKeyModifier - If pressed - overrides createGroupBtn behaviour by passing item-names to unload 'itemsSkipList' instead of creating new items group
materialsFiltering - always allow 'materials' item type to be 'unloaded'
trophiesFiltering - always allow trophies to be 'unloaded'
consumableFiltering - (disabled by default) always allow any consubable item to be 'unloaded'

###How it works: Checks each non-equipped item in your inventory and:

if item is NOT in itemsSkipList config option
if item matches any group from groupsList config option or item-name is listed in itemsList config option or item-type is Materials and materialsFiltering config option enabled or item-type is Trophy and trophiesFiltering config option enabled or item-type is Consumable and consumableFiltering config option enabled
try to move item to nearby 'relevant' chest

###Disabling preconfigured groups You can disable any preconfigured group by deleting part after '=' symbol. Example: "vegetables ="

ⓘ You can also manually verify, merge or add new groups to [ItemGroup] config section. Example: "fishes = FishRaw,FishCooked". (requires game-restart)
Item-names could be discovered by googling some "valheim Spawn items list".
Also "Ctrl + L + click" (instead of Ctrl + click) while moving item to chest will log item name to console (F5). Item-name will have a '$item_' which you will need to remove before putting it into config.

##Controller support

set [Grouping] groupingKeyModifier to JoystickButton0 value: RTrigger+A will always use grouping. Alternatively - set it to JoystickButton6 (map button)
RightStick click : trigger Create group ([☼]) while at containers-panel .
RightStick click + RTrigger : same as addToItemsFilterKey.
RightStick click + LTrigger : same as addToSkipItemsFilterKey.
menuButton (☰) : triggers Unload-all-items button ([⇓⇓]) while at containers-panel.
merge-or-create dialog: LeftBumper= Merge, RightBumper=Create
I've tried to mimic games tooltips but they overlap with buttons a bit now. Set [Unload] btnPos = {"x":1.5,"y":7.9}

Configuring mod:

Recommended: enable in-game console (opened by F5) by adding -console launch option.
Recommended: install latest BepInEx.ConfigurationManager
Start the game. Adjust config via ConfigurationManager while playing game (press F1 while in menu or at inventory UI)
Or from a config file at Valheim\BepInEx\config\flueno.SmartContainers.cfg. Requires game restart.
