Sorting items into different containers automatically

 

A mod request/idea

 

I always pick up a lot of Items. Putting them into the workbench is like dumping them in a bottomless pit. Even with sorting mods I need so much time to find a specific item (Yes, I know, I could sell the stuff or scrap it but I won't. I like to have hundreds of pipe revolvers... ;-) at least to equip my settlers) So I thought about a mod that can do it. But because I have barley time to play once a week and the learning curve without proper documentation is very steep I was not able to do it by myself. But maybe someone like the idea in on or the other way.

 

Description:

Automatic sorting mod (need scripting)

• sorts all stuff in different containers of your choice automatically
• put all your stuff (weapons, armor, food, junk) in a stand alone Sorting-Source-Container (SSC).
• Chose a target container, put a sorting device (SD) in the it (created and named with sorting keywords on a workbench) and press the activation button on the SSC. All stuff will be sorted according to its sorting keywords to the containers with the corresponding SD.
• containers need to be in a preset range to another or at least has to be in the same cell?

Example:

1. Put all your weapons in the SSC.
2. Create an SD item, name the SD device "shotgun SD" and put it in a container. More sorting keywords separated with the pipe "|" like "combat|shotgun SD"
3. Activate sorting on SSC
4. Script moves all items which matches the sorting prefix from SSC container to the container with the corresponding SD

- sorts weapons, armor, food, junk... into its own container
- containers must be in the same settlement.

More ideas:
A quest to get the devices:

• Find parts of a Mr. Handy and repair him. He then hover between your containers an "do" the sorting
• The sorting Mr. handy could always muttering to himself.
• can "phase" though walls and doors to reach a container. ;-) Nice and creepy
• When you near him he is overly brightly, when you turn away or barley at hearing range he curse you and the job and everything ("kill them all...mumbeljumbel smash there heads...mumbelbrumbel... rip then to shreds...:" (like gollum from "Lord of the Rings" or "Kreacher" from Harry Potter)

I've always felt the same; Automatic sorting has been my lifeblood for skyrim and FNV.

I believe it needs F4SE to properly function along with a custom script.

 

I'm sure someone here can help or direct to how you create one yourself..
