Beyond Storage 2

If you can do it using items in your inventory, you can now also do it by PULLING from items in nearby storage crates, vehicles, drones, workstations, collectors, etc.

In addition, you can easily PUSH from any of those sources to nearby crates, for excellent inventory management.

This version is for 7 Days to Die v2, which is why the mod is called 'Beyond Storage 2'.

The current source repository is located at https://github.com/superguru/7d2d_mod_BeyondStorage2.

  • remove pullFromCollectors and pullFromWorkstationOutputs config settings as they have no use case

⌛History

[url=https://www.snowbeegaming.com/undead-legacy]Undead Legacy[/url] by Subquake was almost certainly the first mod to introduce the "remote broadcasting" of items for crafting, as if you had a gigantic inventory that included your storage crates.

[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/2196?file_id=28586]CraftFromContainers[/url] by aedenthorn implemented this for later versions of the game, as Undead Legacy was not available for post A21 at the time. The source code is at https://github.com/aedenthorn/7D2DMods.

[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/5087]1.0 Beyond Storage[/url] was refactored and updated for 7 Days to Die v1 by unv-annihilator and extended this idea, based on the code from aedenthorn. This brought the addition of vehicles to pull items from. The code quality and stability of this mod high. See [url=https://github.com/unv-annihilator/7D2D_Mods/tree/main]https://github.com/unv-annihilator/7D2D_Mods/tree/main[/url] for that fork.

[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/7809]Beyond Storage 2[/url] added pulling from all conceivable sources, like drones, workstation outputs, dew collectors. Also added all inventory operations like paying for items at a trader, painting, lock picking. The mod also fixes many notification bugs from the original game, and all operations are seamless. Pushing items from any place you can pull from, in order to auto-sort items, was also added.
