The problem is inventory management. It's incredibly annoying to have to dig crap out of a matryoshka doll of nested inventories. It turns the inventory into a cluttered mess. In an ideal world, my inventory would look like this after picking up a stack of paper wrapper > protein bar:
*12 paper wrappers > protein bar
Nice, neat, simple. One line, one stack of items. Perfection.
But instead, it looks like the monumentally retarded clusterfuck in picrelated. You see the 2nd entry in the list there? That's actually inside the FOURTH entry. The THIRD entry is inside the first entry. This is actual flaming dogshit.
So far as I can see, there is zero reason for any containers to ever have anything put back into them unless the user intentionally wants to do so for a specific reason. I frankly don't care if I lose some .5L of inventory space because I'm carrying a half empty cereal box in my backpack that has just enough room for me to fit a tuna can, a pencil, and a handful of scrambled eggs into or whatever. I want my inventory to be neat, organized, and easily readable.

Anyways, I tried fiddling with it some. I tried putting "auto_insert": false into the "pocket_data" field but no dice. It accepts the change just fine but it doesn't do anything at all, the behavior remains the same. I'll keep searching in the meantime. I hope I don't have to go mucking around in the actual source code to change this behavior.
