Introduction

Having a hard time finding items in your inventory? Wish there was an easier way?

Now there is - with this mod, all placeable items in your inventory will be shown at the top of your inventory in filtered slots.

But that's not all! Items which are in any of your quickbars will not be shown in this way. You already know where they are, they're on your quickbar.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. Items that you set inventory filters for yourself will also not be given slots by this mod. That way, you can always find those special items in the place that you wanted it to be at.

How to use

You need to set a filter in your inventory for this mod to work. The filtered item can be either a deconstruction planner or a fish. The mod will not set or clear inventory slot filters past the point of this filter, so you can reserve some space for construction robots or other things that you want to find at the bottom.

If your inventory is really full, you might notice that this mod isn't setting any filters. At the moment, it needs as many empty slots in your inventory as filters that it wants to set. If you have more items on your quickbar, or a bigger inventory, or more slots manually filtered (slots that are filtered after the deconstruction planner / fish slot) you will encounter this less often.

Etc

Inspired by Placeables - whose concept I loved but wished existed in the base-game inventory screen.

Future Plans

Revise "sorting" algorithm so it needs fewer empty slots to function. If you can make one that only needs a single slot, you'd be my hero :)
