[Suggestion] Allow fuel cans to auto swap

513 votes

You have 6 total slots in the generators. When I fill all the slots the can in the fuel position does not automatically swap with a full one above when it empties. Why would you have the extra slots if they don't really do any good?

Although I store my "electricity tool" in one of those slots, that still leaves 4 open ones. Upvoted.

It it strange that is not possible, even at furnaces or fireplace if you put stacks of wood or coal in reserve, they will enter to burn automatically when main stack is finished.
It is really disappointing when you leave the main base for longer time, when you are back, all is silent, all is rotten in refrigerators/freezers.
And it is more disappointing that suggestion is so less voted.... even is the main QoL improvement for OW game.

I have noticed that the MXC Fuel Canister will swap with the Biofuel Can as desired for deep-mining equipment. It would be good to allow more swapping options and certainly an automatic loading for a dedicated storage like the Biofuel Generator inventory makes complete sense.

This is important - the problem is that even if there is enough power in the system, quite often furnaces turn off when power is removed from the system and swapping the biofuel is difficult without losing power, requiring all furnaces to be checked again.
