Storage Compactor - copy Element Filter to another Compactor


Recommended Posts

Pretty much everything is in the title.

With multiple compactors it is very unproductive to filter out same things in all of them.

For example I usually place compactors for Algae near machines which use Algae. Same thing with Dirt or Coal, etc.

Also when I place 'general purpose' compactors I need to check all but those above.

Of course what I am suggesting here might be done via priority.

But there are plenty of times when player wants priority of compactors to be the same (this way dupes won't go ridiculous distance to get some coal if he/she could take some sandstone nearby and deliver to compactor nearby).

Any other Rimworld related feature you might want to add?

Spoiler

Just kidding...
For now, it's easy to handle since there are few resources but a copy-paste will be needed if the add more materials.

What i'd like is more storing options:

  • Store liquids
  • Store gases
  • and movable storage!

Factorio has a similar feature too. It is no doubt a dang good feature.

When dealing with storage compactors I was actually thinking, man, would be handy to have that feature right bout now.

I think that if you like this topic, then you should 'like it' via button. It might be better seen by devs then.

Octyabr, I've never played Rimworld in my life. :) For movable storage check this out. I've suggested this several days ago. ;)

p.s. Octyabr like in Eastern Slavic languages?

Oh, I didn't know there were a suggestion subforum, silly me...

That would be nice, putting all necessary resources in a wagon and moving it to a distant location for better deploy, I'd like that.

You're right. I should have put this topic there. ;)

If some moderator would see this. I'd like to ask to move this topic to Suggestions&Feedback. Thanks.

Oh yes, we need to be able to copypaste bin settings. Something simple as Shift+Left click, Shift+Right click

Similar to that, it would be helpful to do the same thing with planting seeds.  Different function, but could be implemented the same.  plant one and then copy paste settings to the rest of the plants (assuming you have enough seeds).   it could be applied to all building/structure settings.

In this case I think being able to multiselect similar buildings and any change made in the right tooltip bar applies to all selected buildings.

1 box for coal set to 8. 1 box for slime, algae and contaminated set to 8. 2 sweeps boxes stacked over an airlock above a storage pit set to 9.

if you emptied a box all of its contents drop on the floor if the box is on an air lock that opens it will dump its hold and ready up again when the door closes. unlimited storage idibidy storage space.

I don't want to hack in my way in alpha version of the game.

In my opinion ability to place working compactor on the surface of airlock is a bug.

I will look for tricks and cheats more seriously when game status will change to 'official release'.

edit: FYI recent update has just removed this 'feature'. ;)
