About this mod
Shows the first slot item of a storage container on the outside as a 'hologram' and/or on a display screen on front, making it easier to quickly find the right box to grab your stuff.

NOTE: Requires BepinEx to be setup!
Note: Mod is Moons-update (May 2025) compatible
Creates a display on the outside of a storage container, letting you see whatever the first item in the storage container is.
Primarily, this makes it easier to quickly find the right box in a resource storage room without having to read the labels - it also makes it easy to see if a container is empty, as the display will be empty.
There's two display options -
- Display on a screen mounted on the front of the storage
- As of 1.1.0, the LOCKER specifically (only the locker) supports adding screens to both the left and right ends (you can specify any combination of left, right and front)
- Display a 'hologram' of the item (On chests, this is on top of the container; on lockers, this is on the front of the container; on T2 storage, this is in the hologram area)
Some semi-intelligent behaviour to display has been added to try and ensure the hologram item is scaled and rotated in a way that makes it obvious as to what it is (where possible) - some items have whacky models, so it's a best-efforts.
The item display can be customised individually via BepinEx config for each of the three storage types; by default it is:
- Chests (Container 1) = Screen only
- Lockers (Container 2) = Front Screen only
- T2 Storage (Container 3) = Both hologram and screen
Additionally (1.0.6) you can configure the hologram to show on top if you want to use it, as well as towards which side (for those that might like to use lockers end-on, but still be able to see something) - 1.0.7 adds config file options to control the scale of the holograms.
Additional helpers
These two additional settings can both be disabled via config.
Auto-Name
If a chest has no name set, it will be automatically set to whatever the first item added to it is (by player or by drone). Once the name is set, it won't be changed (even if you empty out the chest) unless you blank it off again - useful when boot-strapping your storage.
Full Indicator
If your storage is full, and it's enabled for item display, then the displayed item will blink on and off as an indicator.
The on/off times are configurable if you prefer a faster or slower setting, and can be set to 0 to disable the blink indicator.
Growables (New for 1.1.5)
If the item in the hologram is a growable (fish, frog, butterfly, etc) - then the hologram can show this instead of the source item.
This is set to 'NoSeeds' by default (showing animals etc); but can be changed to 'None' (only show the raw item as per old behaviour) or 'Seeds' (which will show trees and flowers as well). Note that vegetables will never show the growable; they'll always show the seed packet. Specific items can be supressed as of 1.1.6 (and Algae is now supressed by default)
Interaction with other mods:
If you use Stacking Inventories, then the full indicator behaviour can be set to either completely full (default) or no unused slots via the mod config file.
