Just got the game last month and thank you for keeping this clean and easy and to the point

[@myaccount6216]

I nearly abandoned this script after it ruined my system when I first ran it, but after giving this video a quick look, I found out this script is one of the most useful things I have ever used in the game, so thank you for being clear and fast.

[@alexanderschenkels494]

Hey man. I'm not that advanced in the game and i was struggling with the script for some hours. But ur video just made everything clear. You're my go to SE youtuber now. Thanks and keep up the good work man

[@KnowBotty]

Be sure to check out my beginner's guide as well!

[@Valenorious]

10:00 As far as I understood Isy's guide for his manager, the order of the listed ores also matters. So it will always process stone before uranium ore because that was listed first.

[@Comicsluvr]

A wonderful guide! I use the script now but I've only ever activated it and let it run without changing stuff. Now I can tell it to fill all of my bottles and drop them in a specific spot that's easy to reach!

[@warpmonkey]

Super helpful video, and a fantastic mod! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@KnowBotty]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sharlenwar]

Thanks for this, using this in 2023 and it's all working brilliantly. This is a must for SE. Bases get huge with stuff everywhere, this at least helps you organize on the fly.

Wow....I just watched this, which was great by the way, even after 2 years. But what got my attention was that at the end of the clip, you said help us reach 1000 subscribers lol.....2 years later your at 3.94mil. Great work sir

[@DerIsy]

Excellent explanation my good sir! I always wanted to create an updated video for my script but I never found the time to do so. May I link your video at my script page? I'm looking forward to see your explanations of my other scripts ;)

[@KnowBotty]

Absolutely! I am such a fan of your scripts! is there any in particular you want me to cover first?

[@KnowBotty]

Oh and to clarify, I would be delighted if you linked the video!

[@DerIsy]

Great! You're now the official video tutorial guide for my script, because you did it way better than I did ;) As for the next video though: the ship refueler is in desperate need of an update.. On my channel it's still called the "Battery recharge helper" which was its former name... I never updated that :-/ I would happily put a link to your video in that description as well!

Oh one note though: My name is spoken like "Easy"... So, "Easy's Inventory Manager" ^.^

Was just looking at that script today, I will get a video out on it this week!

[@rowanbol]

For this lifesaving video I give you my thanks

You should've pointed out that you CHECK CODE after changing settings. I wasn't so sure and it's a good thing I watched the right side when you checked the code after changing some stuff or I would've never known

By far the best and easiest inventory management scrip I the game

[@kdg1237]

thank you very much for this tutorial

[@steveotsoko1675]

Awesome tutorial. Thank you for that. Is there a way to setup the main lcd on a wide lcd which is 90 degrees to the side? So 2 block high and one block wide? Or split the info to 2 screens placed that way? I'd love to have a larger font without the scrolling.

[@steveotsoko1675]

Nvm I found it on my own. In case anyone else wants to do this, set the categories in the LCDs Costum Data to true/false according to what you want to show where.

[@KnowBotty]

That's a nice little tip, ill have to start using that!

Great video and great script. The only issue I am having is my bottles are blinking in every container when theyre supposed to be in a specific container that I named Bottles. How do I stop that?

[@Domaorn]

ya know i was afraid to even use this due to the lcd aspect.. that i dont even need it makes me happy just to have the sorting thanks!!!!

[@elmerwhitaker7852]

Very helpful

[@darthslackus499]

Nice! Didn't know about the "-" in the autocrafting. Here's my 2 cents to add to your great tutorial: with IIM be mindful how you set your hydrogen & oxygen bottles. With you swapping empty bottles for new ones, before too long you'll find yourself having 20 bottles, even if you set the Autocrafting to '1'. The trick that worked for me was assigning the O2/H2 Gen Special and setting it to '1' as well. Edit: Or an easier solution you can set IIM not to craft bottles.

[@KnowBotty]

Good tip! I do usually end up getting extra bottles, I'll try that out if I have any more issues!

[@darthslackus499]

@@KnowBotty You might want to comment on the workshop file too and let Isy know about the video as it will help others who are struggling with the mod.

[@domedsky]

So I can use this on ships to pull ammo when docking? I just put a program block on the ship and set the amount of ammo in Special cargo?

[@RfLARedBeard]

Do you need to install the script into each grid or is one enough for every ship/station

[@robowolf3748]

Only 1 script is needed if all the grids are connected. ie, a truck and trailer. If you dont want them all conected refer to the connectors in the vid.

[@Caspero83]

Thank you, but how do i sort uranium only in a container? I get the part with ores or ingots, but if i only want Uranium ingots only for example.

[@breytac]

For displays with multiple lcd's there's a way to display the info on the primary lcd or another one, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

[@orgsniper]

Great explanation of the script. What if I want to empty a cargo ship but want to leave alone reactors, turrets, some ice ect??

[@IKnowNothing0101]

I think he explained you can call them "Special" and change the custom data to a minimum level (say 500 uranium ingots). That way - I'm pretty sure it would refuel as well!

[@DolphinOrgy]

Very helpful guide, thanks for the easy to understand explanations. Made my base work like clokckwork

[@garyl6031]

How do you make the text on your LCD's so clear? Mine are all fuzzy

[@dimond1806]

How do you tell it to not use certain cargo containers at all?

[@DantalionNL1]

Anyone knows how to make a dump container? I got a large industrial container just outside my base which i just wanna use for dumping inventories but it keeps renaming/using it for ores and ingots which is horrible since the container is outside my base. Locking or ignoring the container defeats the purpose of it being a "dump" any ideas?

[@mattalpha5935]

Hey, how are you crafting 1 of each item?

[@saunba6007]

Hello, we used IIM for autocrafting esp in a multiplayer game and it started to autocraft hundreds of bottles and thousands of elite rifles, even tho we set the wanted amount to 6 bottles and 6 rifles. any idea what might be wrong and how to fix it? we tried recompiling, turning the pb on and off, restarting the server and prettymuch everything we could think of already.

[@thedrifter2314]

Having an issue. Ive set up the main screen and auto crafting but i cant set an LCD to IIM-inventory... It just doesnt show anything

[@Jeffs40K]

This works good on Wide Screen LCD as well, turn them Upright so they are longer up and down, then go into Rotate screen and turn the LCD Rotation slider so the Lettering is in correct orientation then add your Text, stop s a lot the scrolling we hate.

[@nommy8599]

Bit of an odd question here about KZbin UI. Where is publish date displayed in an open video page (on this page)? I opened this from steam and wanted to see when it was published and can't. Not sure if YT just doesn't show it, if I'm blind, or if my UI (MS Edge) doesn't show it. Probably should just google it, but I'm gonna go with with the excuse that comments help the channel... :) [Edit] I did check description also (I'm not saying people should write it, I thought YT might display it there).

[@KnowBotty]

on my browser (Brave) it shows directly under the title below the video .

[@nommy8599]

@@KnowBotty Thanks! I just noticed it did for me too on another video. Zooming out (to 90%) made it show here too! Now I know what to do next time!!! Thanks for help :)

[@Rednec_Patriot]

How do you set up a fighter to pull ammo when it connects to the base?

[@Rednec_Patriot]

And would it be the same for a welder ship?

[@Varasalvi2]

The -1 command does not work, it keeps changing to 1 again and doesn't leave the list.

[@TroaBarton]

Issue im having is that its pulling all my components from my mobile base ships. Rather than just locking them or disabling the connector I want the ships to maintain their inventory and restock when they dock with the main station. Trying to figure this one out.

[@KnowBotty]

Rename the ships connector and add the word [No IIM] this should fix it, if that does not work try [No Sorting] instead, and make sure to use the brackets.

[@TroaBarton]

KnowBotty thanks for the reply I’ll give it a shot.

[@KnowBotty]

@@TroaBarton Good deal! let me know if it worked!

[@catwithsomeears2206]

11 months late but just use a sorter directed at your ship. The inventories will be connected and can only flow into the ship You can also add the “special” tag to the ship containers to keep the exact amount you want stored keep on board and restored when connected.

[@TheRealSether]

Any chance of updates to the scripts?

I've accidentally put Tools Ammo Bottles on the wrong cargo box, now i cannot remove those words, no matter how many times i delete it from the name. Any ideas?

[@KnowBotty]

I would say try turning off the programmable block long enough to change it. and also make sure you delete anything in the Custom Data as well.

[@cashman1843]

@@KnowBotty I am having the same issue. I did turn off the programmable and then renamed the large cargo container, but when I turned the PB back on the name adds Tools, Ammo and Bottles back. It does fill the container with Tools, Ammo and Bottles, but not Components which I have added. Any thoughts?

[@cashman1843]

I did find a solution. I Set the Automated container assignment TO FALSE and was then able to rename the container and then back to TRUE. This how the script line looks in the programmable block you need to change as said above. ======================================================================================= // Master switch. If this is set to false, automated container un-/assignment is disabled entirely. bool autoContainerAssignment = true;

[@schoolsucks12100]

cant get the lcd to hide an item

Try renaming the block again, that SHOULD reset everything.

[@dahamby9590]

.50 in and nothing to show how to get there....nothing to show how to put the script on the Prog block and so from there on the whole video is meaningless. Time index of.22 to .25 makes it all fail! I have the Prog block and LCD's but you skip over even trying to put the script on the block. Next thing you get a big built up base with all kinds of cargo/conv/junctions and the script is on the prog block and on you go.....
