Adds my version of a linked chest.

Known Issues

  • At the moment not compatible with Space Exploration

Settings

New Settings have been added. Research requirements, crafting cost and invetory size can be configured.
If you want to have the same settings as before 1.0.12 use:
- Crafting Cost: easy
- Required Research: logistic
- Inventory Size: 120

Features

  • Adds an implementation of the hidden "linked-chest" with some modifications for better usability.
  • Chests with the same Link ID share an inventory.
  • When placing a new Chest the default Link ID = 0 is applied.
  • In the user interface are 2 ways to register a new Link ID. The Preset Link ID is the first available starting at 1.
    -- Input a Link Name and Link ID
    -- Use the choose elem button (below the Link Name Textfeild) to pick an item. The name of the item is copied to the Link Name.
    After both steps the Add button registers the link.
  • With the Remove button the currently selected Link is removed.
  • Chests can be connected to logistic circuit

New Features

  • Dropdown list is now translated if possible
  • Added a new button, that lets you pick an item and the name is set automatically (See last images)
  • Pasting a Blueprint on chests in the world now sets the correct link
  • Pressing Add now automatically selects the added link in the opened chest
  • Dropdown list is now sorted by the link name

Coming Soom

  • Better graphics for the chest
