Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Inventory filters in Space Age

Post by Premu »

In Pre-Space Age, you could filter inventory spots e.g. in train wagons or chests for specific items by simply middle clicking on it.

This doesn't work anymore. Is this feature gone completely, or did I just miss it in the configuration? I don't see anything fitting in the keybindings at least...

Cargo wagons : yes. Chests : no, never ? (Unless modded ??)

Ah, you're right. I misremembered that.

I tried to use such an inventory filter in an asteroid collector to prevent the clogging of it with asteroids of one type, but it didn't work. I guess I'll need to keep on throwing the surplus asteroids out.

Yes, this seems to be part of the puzzle ?

(It's still annoying in the Space Platform Hub though, for instance for separating repair packs and backup components from cargo...)

It would be nice if the collector storage had this function, but it's easy to achieve with a small circuit to set the target level with a constant box + decider or math box to set their filters.
