I went ahead and added a config to allow users to change the type of bank opened. You will not be able to change it during game play however.

Hello! Thanks for the mod, it really makes chester and the money trough co exist. Would you be open to make an update to the mod where you can choose which safe type item it opens? Either way thanks for this life saver mod!

THANK YOUUUUU!! I was discussing this on a call today that Chester is very easily replaceable by the Money Trough, and how the safe is unlocked after the Skeletron and that it made sense for Chester to be a Walking Safe instead of a Piggy Bank

This should be a vanilla thing in the game, thank you very much!!

I will check this out. Thanks for the report.

I appear to have issues with no longer being able to open chester anymore. It appears that in multiplayer only one person can reliably have chester open and close, while any additional pets of chester will immediately close when you try and open them.

Lovely!!!

[v1.1] Chester now correctly quick-stacks to the safe inventory when clicking in the 'Quick-stack to nearby chests' button.

heck yeah little sheep!

Mod has been ported to 1.4.4, with improvements!

Darn well don't give up little sheep!

Unfortunately I used janky code to make this work. Someone could probably do this mod justice and make an IL Edit to make it truly functional. But yeah, since Chester is still considered a piggy bank in the base game, the logic to quick-stack from inventory is still bound to the piggy bank (if it followed quick-stacking inventory logic to begin with).

This is a really great mod, money trough for piggy bank; chester for safe, void bag for void bag, it all makes sense!

One thing, has anyone noticed that they are unable to 'Quick Stack to Nearby Chests' to Chester? It's as if the game doesn't recognize Chester as the Safe and won't Quick Stack to it. I tested quick stacking with a Void Bag and a Flying Piggy and it worked to both of them.

Is this only me experiencing this?

wait I forgot to give an award give me second... take this warm blanket award!

good stuff

Possibly, steam and tModLoader have been pretty funky with autoupdating workshop content.

Wait, did my version revert? I had an update to v0.4 today after verifying my files?

Well, after a few sessions, seems Chester reverted to the old behavior. Somehow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you very much for the fixes! I'm glad that you were able to work on them.

One thing I forgot to mention before: Chester's inventory doesn't close when opening Magic Storage's inventory, so Magic Storage can't open until Chester is closed.

On the bright side, the fixes you implemented ought to make closing Chester to open the Magic Storage inventory much, much simpler in the meantime. Apologies for not mentioning it before!

Mod has updated!
• Added more handling checks for Safe, Piggy Bank, and Money Trough interactions
• Auto-Pause now supported
• Chest UI now closes properly when interacting with Chester
• Chest UI now closes properly when closing the player inventory

My main focus has been on other mods, but I'll try to work out more kinks soon. Hopefully before tModLoader's next freeze.

Is it just me, or is Chester's inventory interface... really hard to close?
It not only closes for only a frame if right-clicked after opening, but also stays open after closing and reopening my own inventory.

That can't be intentional design...
...right? :x

simply good

Yeah, that's due to the first frame being the piggybank. I can't seem to bypass the initial frame, for now at least.

Okay, I figured it out. It works as long as Autopause is turned off, but with Autopause on, it only opens the piggy bank.

Idk why, but I cannot get this mod to work. I thought maybe the update today would have fixed it (since the in-game mod browser said this requires an updated version), but no dice. :(

This is so obviously the way Chester should have been implemented, great mod combined with just the void bag.

nice i like this

This is an awesome idea, already have something to access the piggy bank so this just makes more sense

Very cool! Thanks

Whoops, I didn't have my sound on while working on this mod so I missed that! I'll have a patch for the sounds out later tonight. As for the 1 frame of piggy bank, I think it might be unavoidable with the method Im approaching this but I'll keep trying to fix that as well.

A bit buggy. It opens the piggy bank for a split second before being redirected to the safe. Also occasionally makes Chester make an ungodly glitchy noise repeatedly for as long as the menu as open.

Took me a second to realize how much better this simple change is, the Piggy Trough is practically useless if you don't have this mod. Very nice!

Instant favorite! This is frankly how it should have always worked, we already have the Money Trough, after-all.
