    My suggestion aims to make our stellar nomads lives a bit easier when it comes to large inventories and maximize the "money-time" ingame by minimizing tiresome sorting chors for the player.

    It stands to reason that in a space faring environment there will be a commodity indexing service available; I would like to be able to wire up all the chests in a scene(E.G. in a house on a planet or on the ship) so they will count as one large pool of item for a commodity management console or a ship\house computer.

    I would then move my player character to the ship computer console and be able to deposit or search for an item.

    * it would be nice to have the ship computer automatically sort the items by type and put them in different boxes for me so when i'm popping a box with my pickaxe or something i'd get all my cobblestone for an instance and i know that i'll have all the building materials i can wish for because i've already took the time to pick it up and mine it. :)

    Keep up the good work, I'm one happy Koala! :D

    Tell me what you think guys! (and gals, ofc)

    P.S. Oh, and i would like the UI to remember where I place my windows! That's it, I'll shut up now. :S

    I would like something like this. As it is, there's already a small sign of this in the way the game sorts dirt and such from the main inventory. Perhaps this could be a thing. I certainly wouldn't be against an "Auto-sort" button.
