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 menu
