• Smart Item Picking System
   ▸ After placing the machine, the "Shadow Hand" automatically collects items within range into containers in the area
   ▸ Highest priority "Match Mode": Only attempts to store items when the same type already exists in the container
   ▸ Secondary priority executes "Whitelist/Blacklist" rules (mutually exclusive mechanism)
   ▸ Supports type filtering: Weapons/Armor/Amulets/Food/Non-stackable items

UI

  ▪ Right-click item: Remove from current list
  ▪ Broom icon button: One-click clear corresponding list

  ▪ Lower part: Mode rule switch (Match Mode enabled by default)
  ▪ Red button on far right: Opens preset interface for preset operations
 ▸ Little Design : Items in slots automatically return to player's inventory when adding to lists or closing interface

• Smart Storage Logic
   ▸ Perishable items prioritize containers with slowest spoilage rate (first choice), second slowest when full, etc.

  Usage Notes
  • Warning! Machine light turns off when interface is open. Avoid operation in dark environments
    
  • Special scenarios (mod conflicts/item retention in slots when closing game) may cause temporary item retention, but items will be returned to player upon reopening interface
    
  • The Preset Settings, the default name is 10 characters long and the description is 46 characters long
    
  • Preset data is cross-save compatible (stored locally). However, since the different DLCS in the standalone version of Don't Starve have their own unique items, I made some small operations. When you apply the preset that contains items from Other DLCS, the item images that are not in this DLC will be replaced with a "Other DLC" image:
    
    Apart from this, it will have no impact on your usage. When you return to the DLC save file with the corresponding items, these pictures will still be displayed normally.
    
  • However, it is also possible that when adding the list from the slot, the picture may be replaced. If anyone encounters this situation, please feel free to give me feedback and I will fix it in time.
