Ability to set bag content definitions for auto-sorting.

As a horrible bag organizer, I would love the ability to have a little more control over how picked up items go into my bags.

For one, it seems to make more sense that the flow should go from Slot 1 - 16, as it already does but if a bag is in Slot 1, it should go there before going into empty slots on my default inventory bar. When I am mining for example, I usually have a large bag in my first slot so it would be nice if by default my mined ores deposited into their first instead of trying to fill up any empty slots on my default bar first and then going into the bag. (especially since you are unable to do any bag actions while the mining action is active)

To carry this further it would be nice to be able to set bag 'default definitions' - basically be able to access a dialogue that lets me select the objects that when they are picked up will go into that bag by default. For example, being able to select 'Mining' and all ore/metal chunks and gems would by default go into that bag instead of trying to fill my default inventory bar first.

Other examples would be 'Food', 'Drink', 'Seeds',  'Emblems', etc. I would even be happy with the Item categories used in the encyclopedia currently although a few logical subgroups would be nice in the case of 'Fruit', 'Herbs', 'Mined Ores', 'Ingots', etc.

Hell to be honest, I would even be willing to buy specialized large bags from the vendors now - Seed Bag, Mining Bag, Gardening Bag, etc if this ability to set definitions on the player side is not seen as a viable option to allow in the future. Anything to keep me from spending so much time trying to stay organized and keeping more on the tasks that are what i consider productive. Limitations are expected, I would probably not see an option to check off from a list of every item in the game, that would be just too unwieldly, but some options WOULD be super nice and appreciatec.

Also - Currently would be nice if Tools by default automatically went into a Toolbox if you owned one instead of the first empty bar slot as well much along the lines of how Spices and Elements go into their containers by default.

  • Seems like this was an idea posted a few tests again...but frankly, I'm too lazy to go look for that thread.  It was a good idea then, still like the idea, but I'd like the categories to not limit me from mixing things up if I need the extra space.  It's the first option...space available in a tagged bag, the item goes into that bag...but if no space available it reverts to the current system of going to the first open slot no matter the category of the bag.

    Currently to circumvent this, I typically try to keep at least one item of things I use regularly in their sorted bag.  As I get new stuff, it will go to the location of that item to fill up the stack.
