It’s always the same pattern: After a few hours I decide to sort everything because it runs out of control but then I never do it again so it’s getting worse than before.
When playing RuneScape like 10 years ago I sorted my bank by item color. Once I started pressing the button to deposit everything at once (because it felt soooo easy) it looked like it was sorted by color but it was significantly worse, since the items I used the most were always somewhere I didn’t expect them.
Small chest size is literally the only reason why I don’t like playing Valheim. Factorio was the worst game so far. My factory worked but it was a diabolic mess that relied on me, sometimes refilling some random chests manually.
At least there is a decent chest size in Minecraft. But with some mods installed there are tons of additional items so I always had to install Storage Network.
Refined Storage is a fun storage mod, I’d recommend trying it if you haven’t already!
