[]Seamoth Total Storage correctly returns items to their original modules, while also trying to allocate space for newly added items, with a consideration for edge cases.
[]Seamoth Total Storage does consider each storage module installed on the Seamoth, with the total size adjusting based on the combined capacity of all modules.

-
[]Storage Overflow Handle Behavior: Choose a behavior on how a mod would handle the edge case of storage overflow. This instance may occur when you can move items with significant size to total storage, but these items cannot be put back into individual Seamoth storage modules. You can either make it reopen the inventory or move them back directly to player's inventory.
[
]Max Storage Access Distance: allows you to set a maximum distance for accessing vehicle storage when it's docked at the base (default is 10, which is approximately the interior of the Moonpool base).[]Skip External Storage Access Animation?: turn on to skip opening and closing animation of storage when you manually open it outside
Use Cases
-
[]For the storage access while docking, you no longer need to run and try to align your camera to face the correct storage module attached to the docking Vehicle. Instead, you can simply press the shortcut key that you can configure in the mod settings, and it will grant you access to all the items in each storage module, making the process more convenient and efficient.
