Auto-sorting bags, or more special bags (like toolboxes), or something to help us sort our gigantic inventories

We all, collectively, seem to have too much stuff. A lot of glitches seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time just sorting their bags. It's the kind of thing that computers are way, way better at.

Here's my recommendation: the ability to set bags so that they are dedicated to certain items, or types of items. A food bag that, when it has spaces, automatically takes food that you pick up. A drink bag. A seed bag. Etc. Like toolboxes, or element bags, or spice boxes, only where you choose to make them pick that item up when you make it.

Alternatively, some kind of automatic sorting mechanism that would organize all of your bags. I'm not sure how would be the best way to do this. (If this is something you can do with the API and someone has programming smarts that would be neat too.)

  • I would also super love this. It'd make it so much easier! I'd happily pay more for a bag that would auto-sort things for me.

  • yes please times a million !!!,
    any kind of auto sort would be so helpful. I DO spend a LOT of time sorting my bags... like when i cook I may have cherries scattered in 2 bags- and then I have remnants in 2 bags -and then i have to hunt and merge the 2 so i can end up trying to have ONE stack of cherries in ONE bag. ! gah- enough to give me a glitchy head pain.

  • +1 There are some things I always carry enough of (especially food, drinks, and basic resources like grain/cherries/etc.) that I'd love to have the option to auto-sort. Right now I either allow my bags to be chaos or spend a tremendous amount of time cleaning them up.

  • +1 (BUMP!)

    Auto-sort would be able to cut time spent organizing in half even if it just grouped together like items and made partial stacks into full ones. In theory, all the computer would have to do is match characters.. (i think?)

  • I vote for special bags. I like the idea of carrying around a fruit basket that stores cherries, beans, planks, general vapours, and plain bubbles.

  • A good 75% of my game time is sorting my bags so +1 on this idea or an idea that would make it much easier to categorize my inventory without me having to lay out a bunch of piles on the ground,sorting and then placing back in bags

  • +1 ABSOLUTELY! I can't TELL you how handy it would be to have one or two bags that automatically get all my produce! that and one for all the harvested things from trees, I'm CONSTANTLY sorting my inventory!
