I like being able to put the /dank/null on the docking station when I come back from mining to drop off all my collected things. But what I don't like is needing to re-configure which items I want the DN to pick up every time I go out to mine.

It'd be nice if there was an extraction option along the lines of "Extract from all slots, leave 1 item in each slot". Alternately, if the DN had an option to lock the slots based on the current contents, that would work as well.

there is..get most recent version and hover over slots with items

I'm still having issues with this. I have a Mk VI dank null, and I have selected "extract all but one". However, everything gets pulled out. Is this due to the method by which I am pulling items? I'm using itemducts and servos from Thermal Dynamics. I also tried this with "all but 16" and "all but 64". each case was the same.

A brief test with a hopper suggests that this may be due to servos extracting more than one item at a time. If the amount you currently have is an even multiple of the amount you want to leave in the DN, everything will get pulled out no matter what.

i will look into this...def could be..i'll mark it as a bug..heading into work tho, so i'll have to check it out when i get home

Completely understandable. I'm about to head to work myself.

see the gif in #50 ...if you wanna preserve the sorting, simply don't use the last of that item when building (after next update)...I am not 100% ruling your idea out as I can see other player having the same opinion, it just can't happen right now due to time constraints

back to what this issue is about (just so i don't get lost when reviewing before pushing next update)...the bug is when items are extracted from docking station using a method that extracts more than one item

Does it stop it from using it when ur building?

no..this setting is just for the docking station

Can it be adding for building? Or some way to lock them in place?

The Issue I have is I have it sorted a certain way, and then I use the lastone and its gets messed up.

i'm always open to a good arguement when someone wants a new feature..but I can't think of a good one for putting a limit on use...keep an eye on the number left and don't use them all..also position/sorting doesn't matter..extraction modes are kept per-/dank/null even if the item is fully emptied..upon putting another of that item in, the settings are maintained

how does this sorting help? how does the sorting changing screw anything up? (other than OCD)

i just thought of something...what I could do is display the number left of the currently selected item somewhere on the HUD...if you would like for me to do this, create a new issue requesting it and I'll implement it :)

When you use it build it helps to know what order the mats are in so you don't have to think about switching between them

short gif..note the extraction modes:

this is the same thing affecting the themal itemducts
also, I'm left clicking here..so normally it would extract (at max) the max stacksize (64 for these 2 stacks)...

Just Wanted to say Thank You :D And Keep up the great love your mod :D

I changed this to show only the items available for extraction...so mods trying to view the inventory of the docking station will only see the amount of items available now
