How It Works

Creating a Link

1. Find a container you want as your master chest
2. Cast Create Link while looking at it
3. Name your Link (defaults to the cell name)
4. A config menu opens - assign filters to nearby containers
5. Sort reshuffles all items across the network based on your filter configuration

Sorting Actions

• Sort - Reshuffle the entire network based on current filters
• Sweep - Reverse: pull everything from linked containers back to master
• Whoosh - Quick-deposit inventory items to master (configurable category selection)

Selling Items

1. Cast Set Sell Container on a container
2. Drop items you want to sell into it
3. Sleep or wait - SLID automatically sells items and deposits gold

Vendor Wholesale: Register merchants for better rates. Requires the Investor perk and 5,000 gold. Vendors visit your sell container on their own schedule.

Remote Access

Cast Conjure Link Chest to summon your master container anywhere for 2 minutes with full access to Sort, Sweep, and Whoosh.

Building from Source

See docs/Build.md for prerequisites and setup.

cmake --preset release
cmake --build build/release --config Release

Output: build/release/Release/SLID.dll

For Mod Authors

SLID supports custom filters, presets, container lists, and vendor whitelists via INI files. See docs/ModAuthorGuide.md for:

• Trait reference for filter definitions
• Preset and container list authoring
• INI file format and naming conventions
• Plugin API for SKSE messaging integration

Example filter:

[Filter:your_items]
DisplayName = Your Mod Items
Description = Items added by Your Mod
RequireTrait = formlist:YourMod.esp|0x123ABC
Parent = misc
WhooshDefault = true

Example container list:

[ContainerList:My Storage]
RequirePlugin = MyMod.esp
Description = Storage containers from My Mod

[ContainerList:My Storage:Containers]
MyMod.esp|0xABC = Weapon Chest
MyMod.esp|0xDEF = Armor Chest
