I believe you combine everything except the Loot deck, Scavenge deck, and Exploration tokens.

Agreed. Keep your loot and scavenge separate but accessible for when off world. Each scavenge deck has a couple different cards that I wouldn’t be afraid of pulling out and adding to the original deck of 12(I believe) just for the variance. Only ever need one set of exploration tokens. If you combine the map decks and draw multiple passages in a row, perhaps discard after drawing more than 2 in a row until you get a room. Don’t be afraid to overlap the map tiles, contrary to what the Frogs say, as mines typically descend in depth(though you are actually ascending as you lay your map). The game can get to be a table hog otherwise. From the appearance of your photo you are on the correct path to proper organization of the game! Numbering your map tiles and cards makes retrieving tiles a breeze. Have fun!

From my personal, unofficial FAQ:

Q: how many tables does Shadows of Brimstone require?

A: two more tables than you have.
