LUA function to list container contents and quantity
Enable more advanced and useful automation by adding additional LUA management functions for containers. Allow LUA script to extract an array of all objects in the container containing at least name & quantity. Would allow better tracking of stock levels and increased sharing of containers.

ShazbotYes, I built my first Hauler with three large containers and wanted the screen to show the current inventory via the Hub and was surprised to find this could not be done.

CoreVamoreDown vote. A factory, even of small size, would have 1 item type per container, the number of items within each can easily be calculated with existing LUA functions.

em_kayThere are applications for this beyond factory management. Example: Tracking contents of dispenser container that has to contain multiple items to dispense a full set of ship parts.

NoRezervationzThis needs to be a thing and it's a bit overdue imho. Would love to list all items in a container/hub by name and their volume/mass. My new hauler has several large containers hooked up to a hub and would love to display all of the contents in it on a screen in the cockpit.

ArialineRemark to CoreVamore : to know quantity of item you need make table of all available items which you want to follow so every player wich want to follow industries have a copy of data with name , mass volume, volume unit of each ore, pure and all other item , and all these private data are store in server NQ , it is about near 12ko or more for each PB using ... calculate the waste of data ... will be better for all to use data of the game itself so to have API which give us informations needed
