Smart Inventory

Smart Inventory is a lightweight and immersive inventory management system that eliminates tedious micromanagement.

The mod is accessed and configured via a small container that you can build inside your ship (costs 1 credit)

You can set carry limits for any Ammo, Aid, Chem, and Throwable items you want to manage. It can track the weapons you’re carrying and will fetch/store the required ammo from/to your ship’s cargo hold as needed. It can sync your inventory automatically, or be triggered manually. And it can be configured so that every time you board your ship, all resources and contraband go straight to the cargo hold.

It’s super useful, and once set up, it simply does its job without getting in the way.

You can tune it to make the game slightly harder or easier, depending on your personal taste.

Every feature is entirely optional - in its initial state, Smart Inventory does nothing.

🎯 Carry Limits

When a carry limit is set for an item, the mod will prevent you from picking up any more than that amount. You’ll never be allowed to carry more than, say, 200 x 7. 77mm rounds (if that’s how you configured it). If you try to pick up any excess rounds, they will be put back in the container they came from, or simply dropped on the floor.

Carry limits apply unless:

You're near your ship (per your Cargo Access Distance setting): excess items are moved to the cargo hold.

You crafted or purchased the item: limits are ignored.

⚙️ Setting Up Carry Limits

Open the transfer window on the container and place the number of items you want inside. Your carry limit is now set. Adjust it anytime by adding/removing the quantity desired.

All items are refunded — if you want to limit yourself to 10 Med Packs but only have 5, just deposit them twice. If an item isn't present in the container, it's ignored, so your effective carry limit is “unlimited.”

A Sync can be triggered in three ways:

• []By pressing the Sync button on the buildable container.[/]

  []Using the remote Sync Device (can be hotkeyed).[/]

  []Enabling Auto Sync to trigger it every time you board your Home Ship.[/]

• []Tops up your inventory with limited items from the ship’s cargo hold.[/]

  []Stores any excess items from your inventory into the ship’s cargo.[/]

[]Items without a carry limit are ignored, except for Throwables - these are stored by default to prevent carrying of junk like Toxic Gas Mines. You can still pick them up; they’re just stored during the next Sync.[/]

[]Sync won’t run if you’re in combat or if your ship is out of range.[/]
