This mod allows you to easily and dynamically add auto storage to any container in the game, and create your own custom storage lists for each container to store exactly what you want.  It's flexible and compatible with pretty much any house mod, or any mod that adds new items to the game.  It's also designed to be easy and clean to uninstall, so you can try it out worry free.  Just follow the uninstall instructions at the bottom if you plan to stop using it.

[]Custom Lists: you create you own custom auto storage Item List for each container so it stores exactly what you want and nothing else. []Storage Keep: you don't have to store every item in your Item List, you can choose to keep a certain amount of each. []Storage Take: You can choose to take a specified amount of each item in your Item List from a container. []Save Custom Lists: you can save a custom Item List and easily load it to a different container. []Preset Lists: there are a few preset lists to give you starting point for your custom list. []Workstation Link: You can link a workstation to any auto storage container and it will retrieve the items for you when you use it, and return them when you're finished. []Fishy Friend: he's your friend and he loves you.
Author's note ding: Honestly, you can read all the crap below but the mod has a built in tutorial and it's pretty self explanatory, so I recommend just installing it and giving it a go.  All the wordage below makes it seem more complicated than it is.  You can always come back if you're confused.

Auto Storage Details

Alright, so you want to know some nitty gritty details on auto storage.  Well, it begins, as all beautiful stories do, with a fish...

The magical Auto Storage Fish will swim to you as soon as you install the mod, and it is he who hath the power to bestow auto storage onto any container you desire.  To do so is easy; just place the fish in the container you want to have auto storage and voila, that's pretty much it.  You can do this on up to 50 containers.  But now, here's an important bit, you should probably know how to access the auto storage menu once it's set up. Between this description page and the in-game tutorial you'll probably figure out that AIS uses a multi-tap system for its containers.  Put simply:

Single-activate -- opens the container normally Double-activate -- opens the Auto Storage
