Space Engineers Script: Split container stacks

gistfile1.txt

    private const float StackSize = 10000.0f;
    
    public bool SplitContainerContents(IMyCargoContainer container)
    {
        var inventory = ((Sandbox.ModAPI.Interfaces.IMyInventoryOwner)container).GetInventory(0);
        var items = inventory.GetItems();
        // NB We only check the first item
        var item = items.Count > 0 ? items[0] : null;
        var amount = item != null ? (float)item.Amount : 0.0f;
        if (amount >= StackSize * 2.0f)
        {
            // Move to new stack
            VRage.MyFixedPoint newStackAmount = (VRage.MyFixedPoint)StackSize;
            inventory.TransferItemTo(inventory, 0, targetItemIndex: items.Count,
                                     stackIfPossible: false, amount: newStackAmount);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Call for each container you care about. Returns false if container can't be split anymore (e.g. first stack is less than 2*StackSize), true otherwise.

(I call this method for each container on each simulation tick to avoid complexity errors. Hence why it isn't just a straight "for" loop.)
