[1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
Describe the problem as best as you can
What did you do?
1. Have a Spidertron
2. Put some stuff in the trunk
3. Apply a filter to a slot for the stuff you put in (not the same slot)
What happened?
Nothing.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
When slot filters are applied to one's own inventory, any matching items are automatically moved to that slot. Spidertron inventory should behave the same.
(Note: I don't have any other vehicle handy, so I can't confirm behaviour for cars/tanks)
Log and screenshots attached.

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
I see where this confusion comes from...
Filtered slots in characters inventory are filled because of the inventory sorting. If you disable "Always keep player's main inventory sorted" then inside of the player's inventory those filtered slots will also not get automatically filled. Both pieces are really tightly coupled (inventory sorting and filtered slot filling). In theory i could make a separate method that only fills filtered slots while keeping rest of inventory in unchanged order. I am not considering current behavior to be a bug because spider's inventory is not being sorted (which would cause filtered slots to be filled). I am leaving this for other devs to decide if this should go into "not a bug", "ideas and suggestions" or get "fixed".

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
I think, since we are adding the logistic requests, we should probably sort the inventory like the character,
For instance if you have 10 belt filters, but the belts are filling non-filtered slots, it can cause other item deliveries to fail

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
I have not checked in 1.0, but at least in 1.1, transfers do try to fill filtered slots first, so logistic requests should not be a problem.
Therefore, I think this is feature request for inventory auto-sort for Spidertron and moving it to Ideas and suggestions.

Yes, transfers work as expected. I didn't realise the "auto-filter" was a result of the auto-sort.

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
I want to give this a big +1
I just built my first Spidertron and set up some logistics requests and partly filled its trunk by hand, to make it capable of building outposts for me.
I immediately noticed, that the inventory does not auto sort, and I really miss this QoL feature.
So please, consider this feature request for inventory auto-sort for Spidertron.
Thank you!
Ps.: I'm currently on 1.1.8

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
can it also occur for RollingStock as well? then all entities with filtered slots would work the same way with no "gotcha"s.posila wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 12:26 pmI have not checked in 1.0, but at least in 1.1, transfers do try to fill filtered slots first, so logistic requests should not be a problem.

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
In case anyone is interested, my mod Spidertron Enhancements includes automatic spidertron inventory sorting. (Link in signature). It has no UPS impact because it only sorts the inventories when you open them or manually place items in them.

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
Sorting isn't free; and until very recently was actually very expensive. It's still not free (and not cheap - but not expensive like it was). Sticking it on every cargo wagon seems unlikely; sticking it on spiders... maybe some day but I know of no plans to do it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
There’s also so little reason to put sorting on cargo wagons. 99.9% of the time a wagon has one type of material in it. The 0.1% is when you have a ‘building train’ in which case you probably specifically filter every slot exactly how you like, or you’ve switched to using spidertrons for that purpose anyway.
I would support sorting spidertron inventory though.

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
I am replying to this topic instead of starting a new one. But I would also love for the spidertron inventory to get autosorted just like the players. Probably bound to the same or a different setting so players with 500 spidertrons can turn it off if it impacts their UPS too much.
Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
As for now Spidertron Enhancements (credit: Xorimuth) dose provide a modded workaround. Besides other things like pathfinding for spidertron.
Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
+1 on the spidertron tbf The cargo wagons are pretty easely to filter and dont need to change as often
kind regards

Re: [1.0.0] Filtered inventory slots in Spidertron don't automatically fill
maybe only sort inventories that have a filter set?
