[quote=“Solusphere, post:19, topic:12039”][quote=“X-PLODE, post:18, topic:12039”]You can easily move piles from tile to tile with the advanced inventory menu.

Use ctrl/shift+m to move stacks of items instead of one by one(which is process intensive) with holding enter.[/quote]

I just use the comma key to move all, personally. Unless you’re talking about a different functionality?[/quote]

Comma is a “move all” command. It shifts all items from the highlighted tile to the target one with one keypress. At least on US keyboards. Maybe other types have different setups?

> To answer your question Litppunk, there are two cargo spaces I reserve for “transfers” to the rest of the vehicle, the one closest to the door, and the one two tiles above from that. As long as I’m adding less than a thousand volume to the cargo, this works pretty well for me, as I can do everything within the advanced inventory by just standing in the right place. I sometimes find myself getting lazy and just leaving certain junk in the transfer bays though 😛

My trick is to use the ‘v’ button - the ground will hold up to 4000 volume, which is 4 cargo spaces worth, so I can move stuff out easily en masse.[/quote]

Oh man you guys are glorious. I knew of the “v” key, but never thought to use it for that, only to move things that had fallen off of me, in the vehichle and through those lose floorboards. Always forget about the comma for some reason though, and I guess Ive been doing the same as soulsphere to a lesser degree. Thanks everybody. I knew there had to be better solutions.

Debug 4k rags on a tile, then use comma to move the pile to another tile.

Then move it again using the ctrl/shift+m command, then come back and tell me if you noticed a speedup.

Hmm, I’ll give it a go next time I’m playing. Not trying to be argumentative, I think I’m just misunderstanding what your saying it does. Thanks for the info!
