Chest Sorter lets you mark one or more areas (e.g., Factorissimo rooms) and then press Y on any chest to auto-sort its items into dedicated, single-item chests within those areas. If a target chest fills up, the mod places a new one following a safe grid from top-left → right → next row.

Features

  • Area-based sorting: items only go to your selected areas (across surfaces).
  • Single-item chests: each chest ends up holding exactly one item type.
  • Auto placement: new chests are placed on a collision-safe grid; never blocks the player.
  • Multi-area support: add multiple areas; the mod fills them in order.

Controls / Shortcuts

  • Shift+Y – spawn Selection tool (or click the shortcut button).
  • Drag with Selection tool – set/replace area.
    Hold Shift + Drag – add another area.
  • Y (pointing at any chest) – sort from that chest into your areas.

Compatibility

  • Factorio 2.0.
  • Works across surfaces (great with Factorissimo).

Notes / Limitations

  • Item stacks are moved via insert/remove; special metadata (durability, ammo, etc.) isn’t preserved 1:1.
  • If no free cells remain in your areas or you have no chests to place, the mod notifies you.
