so glad this is still here. needed a refresher without breaking my base since i picked up the game again

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.

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

I've been looking for info for a whole week! the answer is found here. thanks.

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.

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!

I was watching Splitsie use Isy's Inventory with the Industrial Overhaul mod. It was giving him such a headache :D Thanks for this tutorial, it made understanding what he was doing much easier.

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

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.

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

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

Brilliant, ive learnt more stuff now how to do things on space engineers, a game with a huge learning curve. TYVM.

thank you ive played space engineers for many years n seen RU-vidrs use this but always looked to complicated thank you this will make the game more fun for me, x

Solid explanation my friend.

Super helpful. Thanks for posting!

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 ;)

Thanks for the vid. REALLY helped me. Made the game 100% easyer too!

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

For this lifesaving video I give you my thanks

Now that's what I call a tutorial

By far the best easiest to understand guide to such spaghetti 🍝. Thank you. Pizzas 🍕 one me.

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

great job, thanks man!

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!!!!

thank you very much for this tutorial

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.

Thank you for a great tut,

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?

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

Very helpful

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

Hey, how are you crafting 1 of each item?

Bit of an odd question here about RU-vid 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).

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

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

salut merci pour tes explications car je ne parle pas anglais mais j ai réussis a comprendre donc merci beaucoup

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

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

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.

Am i doing something wrong, but it won't work on dedicated servers

I can’t get the Autocracting LCD to work, followed every step and nothing, I have the main LCD working but Autocrafting won’t work, screen just stays blank

How do I add more ores ?

cant get the lcd to hide an item

I typed in LCD Autocrafting. Now the LCD Panel does nothing

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?

tks u

Hey man how are u

How do I get my game into experimental mode

Made nothing clearer for me im affraid, will give it a third watch

Stupid script always stops by itself and I can't figue ourt why. Lost so many hours maintaining it. I still like it, but hate it in the same moment.

Why does he sound like the nerd emoji

.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.....
