Afterschool Special CIMS System

CIMS
Computerized Inventory Management System

The Computerized Inventory Management System will automatically sort your gear into assigned containers and is incredibly easy to use. It utilizes two computer terminals, and once you get used to it you can sort your entire inventory in seconds. I can be fully loaded down, come into the house, sort my gear, heal up at the Infirmary, sleep for an hour for the "Well Rested" perk, and be back out the door in under a minute!. One terminal located on the desk, and the other on the back wall by the ammo & workbench. They are set up as follows:

AMMO PARTS: Open the terminal and click the line to sort your Ammo Parts. All ammo parts used at the reloading bench including cases, lead, hulls drained energy cells and powder are then removed from your inventory and placed into the ammo case labled "Reloading Parts". The parts can be removed from the case by simply opening the case and hitting the "A" key, or by using the terminal option to get them back out.

AMMO: Ammo gets sorted to the ammo box labled "Sorted Ammo".

WORKBENCH PARTS: Follow the same procedure above for sorting your Workbench parts and it will remove all your items used to create anything at the Workbench and place them in the first toolbox labled "Workbench Parts". You may also get your parts back out by using the terminal or get them manually from the actual container by hitting the "A" key.

EASY TO USE: Basically, all I do each time I come in is head to the terminal and sort my parts. After I've played for a while, I'll go get all my parts out at one time, turn around to the benches, make everything I have the parts to make and use the terminal to sort everything I have left back into its container. It literally takes only a few seconds.

DESKTOP TERMINAL: The desktop terminal works exactly like the workbench terminal does. It has options to sort Chems, Perishables, Alcohol, Collectibles, Explosives, Weapons, Armor, Clothing, Books, Mags and Money.

Chems go into the First Aid Kit on the wall.
Clutter items such as cups, glasses, clipboards and so forth go into the garbage can in the kitchen.
Perishables: All items that can be ingested such as foods, water, Cola and meats are sorted with the Perishables option. Basically, anything that I felt like could "rot" goes into the refrigerator.
Alcohol goes into the Refrigerator.
Collectible items such as Teddy Bears, Pre War Money, Garden Gnomes and so forth go into one of the lockers beside the desk
Explosives go into the fourth locker on top from left to right.
Ammo, armor, clothing, weapons and money (excluding caps) go to the containers labled for each item.
Skill books and mags go into the desk.

WEAPONS AND ARMOR: Weapons, armor and clothing are NOT repaired when removed, so it's not nearly as much of a cheat.

CRAFTING ITEMS: All of your crafting items should be sorted into the refrigerator. Just like the parts sorter above, I simply collect stuff as I go, and after a while I'll go to the Refrigerator, hit "A" to take out everything and head over to the new Crafting Oven. Once I have made everything I can, I return to the sorter and sort all the remaining ingredients back to the Refrigerator. It really makes making stuff a snap!
