How to insert all the items in several chests?

[WIZ4]

I can not insert on all items in chests. Items that do not fit in the chest, disappear.How to solve this problem?

Code: Select all

  global.items = {}
  global.items.items_list =
  {
	defence =
    {
      ["stone-wall"] = 1000,
      ["gun-turret"] = 500,
      ["uranium-rounds-magazine"] = 1000
    }}

Code: Select all

function advanced_chest()
local chest = game.surfaces.nauvis.create_entity{name = "wooden-chest", position= {game.player.position.x, game.player.position.y+1},force = game.player.force}
for k,list in pairs(global.items.items_list.defence) do
	if chest.can_insert{name=k, count=list} == false then 
	chest = game.surfaces.nauvis.create_entity{name = "wooden-chest", position= {chest.position.x, chest.position.y+1},force = game.player.force}
	end
	chest.insert{name=k, count=list}	
end
end

Return value
Number of items actually inserted.

So just substract that number from the list you have. And loop over it for every chest. At the end all the entries in the list should end up being == 0.
