  It's possible with a custom script that relies on hooking into the OnBeforeChangeScene and OnAfterChangeScene custom events - in order to back up the item, and restore it afterwards.

  It's made a little more tricky, however, given that the item is also deselected in Start - but you can use a coroutine to get around this. Something like this ought to do it:

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  using AC;
  
  public class CrossSceneItemSelector : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      private InvInstance crossSceneInvInstance;
  
      private void OnEnable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnBeforeChangeScene += OnBeforeChangeScene;
          EventManager.OnAfterChangeScene += OnAfterChangeScene;
      }
  
      private void OnDisable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnBeforeChangeScene -= OnBeforeChangeScene;
          EventManager.OnAfterChangeScene -= OnAfterChangeScene;
      }
  
      private void OnBeforeChangeScene (string nextSceneName)
      {
          crossSceneInvInstance = KickStarter.runtimeInventory.SelectedInstance;
      }
  
      private void OnAfterChangeScene (LoadingGame loadingGame)
      {
          if (loadingGame == LoadingGame.No)
          {
              StartCoroutine (ReselectItem ());
          }
      }
  
      private IEnumerator ReselectItem ()
      {
          yield return null;
          KickStarter.runtimeInventory.SelectItem (crossSceneInvInstance);
      }
  
  }
  

  This'll need to be attached to a GameObject that survives scene changes - attaching it to your PersistentEngine prefab will be enough.

  Thanks for the quick response Chris!

  This script seems to be working as intended.
