so i was gonna test this new system
reclaiming my building and then getting items back epic stuff dev’s
i proceed to reclaim the items on the new beacon
whats this its all organize the dev’s finally did what were hoping for for 2years autosorting
an epic day in boundless
whats this i can take items only per hunderd out our if i shift they get mingled again
ow wright i forgot in boundless you cant have a break
autosorting is probably cheating for someone out there ?
is there any reason why autosorting is a bad thing?
dont get me wrong the reclaim system is super mega awesome
but man give us a break just let us autosort stuff who we harming
ive spend atleast 40 hours allready sorting items
are you trying to bore me to dead
just allow it
our make it a seperate system we can use
conclusion reclaim system extreme epicness
blocked auto sort extreme lameness
please explain to me why o why its wrong to autosort im very curious this time
ow is my first day after a long break today so havent read up about this thing enlighten me
theres probably a mobile storage cheat but i def think solution for it is wrong lol
yeah quit awesome to show us it can be done and then to take it away
is like that video off a child getting a old nokia at christmas put into a new iphone packaging
that sums up my experience
IIRC how reclaim works, used it a week or more ago, it’s basically a list of how many of each block you have, it’s not actually auto-sorted when you think about it. Reclaim storage is not separated in stacks of 100 or smart stacks of 900, so it’s completely different than your everyday storage. I might be wrong, but that’s how it seems to me.
And yeah, give us auto-sort I’ve spent hours past few days sorting just stones Sometimes I’m glad I don’t have so much items just because I don’t have to sort them.
i unzipped sorta a stack off 3000 same blocks and it divided itself over all the other not full stacks off diferent collered rocks if it would stop doing that that be big step forward
Sorting stone is tedious for sure. I have spent so many hours sorting. Those are the times I burn out. When my stuff starts piling up around me.
@james Just a little tab in the corner of your inventory that says auto sort. When it’s on anything you shift click in or out of your inventory auto sorts.
i hope its not like that time the dev said ow those single portals turning wrong i can fix that in a hour
after a year off extreme confusion and oort loss lolz
Why do you think that? Because reclaim now does it and it’s not everywhere else you automatically assume it won’t ever be implemented for other storage options?
Has it? By whom? And how? Where?
You sound a little pessimistic, we have no way of knowing what will happen. They probably just implemented it here first, reclaim was a new feature, best to include it right away in there then to add it later on when sorting can be done everywhere.
An option to auto sort player and storage inventory.
It has been brought up many times in these forums, I can’t be bothered to trail through it all. I have never seen a direct response to any request/suggestion from a dev though.
Sorting items when you are shift clicking them from inventory to storage. Sorting by matching with stacks that are already in storage that are one item/color sorted. So if I have 3 colors of sedi stone, and I put a stack or even a piece of each in separate storage slots, if I shift click smart stack from inventory that has all those three colors, they should sort in storage with matching color.
At least that’s my idea of how it would work, probably everyone has their own version
Group things by color or exact same type.
Lets say I have multiple ss of twisted trunks but like 10 different colors. I want to group them in different ss from the same color only.
Another case, I have multiple ss of different types of trunk. I want to group them in different ss from the same trunks.
Sorting blocks by color number.
I had to manually check, split and sort every single color from my gleambow gleam collection, It would have been nice to be able to split or sort all the ss by they color number.
I think those can cover pretty much any other scenario since we could make use of them in order, like first split in same type groups, then split those in colors and then sort them.
Edit.
The problem I can see with all this is the space, If we want to split groups of things they may not fit inside their actual inventory, but that can probably be solved?
Edit 2.
Ok maybe not put this as an option inside inventories, but make a sorting machine? It could queue up the things we put inside and if it runs out of space it just stops as all the other machines.
Smart stacks are great for grouping, but they don’t order things.
For me sorting is grouping plus ordering!
If I had 100 different colours of gleam, smart stack group them together by colour, but sorting would also order them by colour name (my preference, but option to choose how to order would be nice).
If I had 20 colours of rock, 20 of trunks, 20 of gleam, etc. Sorting would group each type and order by colour name within the smart stack.
Maybe you could have the option to group by colour and order by type as well eg all my bright blue items go in one smart stack and then the smart stack is ordered by type (gleam, rock, trunk, etc)
But they only just now implemented it. Reclaim is a completely new thing, so they could easily add it right away. Adding it to the other storage types takes more time.
I am assuming they will do this in the future, or at least want to do so.
But it also has been possible to add many more things to the game which they haven’t done yet?
That’s not confirmation that they will never add it to the rest of the game tho
Oh that I get. But with coding such a thing it then has to be added on top of the other storages, probably they then also want an user interface with how you want it to sort items, all things that were not yet needed for reclaim, to add the sorting to the other storage solutions would take more time.
I’m not saying I can be 100% sure they will add it but to draw conclusions that they never will because reclaim now has it is also based on not knowing what the devs are thinking and/or doing…
I soooooo wish the devs would finally provide us with information on what they are planning. I know the drawbacks of doing so, but it can’t be worse than how it is now…
Reclaim storage right now does not stack multiple colours of gleam together, it does them in separate stacks. Same for rocks and any other blocks. It also seems to sort them by colour.
It would be lovely if there was a way some day to sort our regular storage blocks/chests in the same way. I add a stack of gleam to it but there’s already another stack of a different colour? Then do not smart stack, etc.
I also would love a system already where we can designate empty spots for certain item types, like fossils, so I can have 3 different spots where they should go, not all automatically in the same stack.
A better way would be that if you turn a switch on, on the storage, that the game does it automatically, so you do not need to designate certain spots for certain items, but if you have 100 of each of the 3 fossil sizes and add 1000 of the medium fossils then you would have 4 stacks in there, but since auto sorting is on the first stack is the 100 small fossils, then 1 stack of 900 medium fossils, then 200 medium, then 4th spot has 100 large fossils.
Auto sorting…
Problem is, there are so many items and with different colours that we spend oodles of time manually sorting them, we would love a system to make that easier.
I’ve spent hours past few days sorting just stones 
Sometimes I’m glad I don’t have so much items just because I don’t have to sort them.
