Shared Storage between alters?

[Macfiej]

Hey guys is storage shared? I want to make a new base and im wondering if it works that way. I have magical chests.

[Shiana]

the same as in terraria. you can just enter the world of your first char with the second one, fetch items, and travel back to its own world. But since everything respawns on singleplayer start, and even the chests only contain simple ingredients - why do you need shared storage?

The magical chest shared storage works for the crafting in the entire base area in which it is in, but not for other bases.

hes asking about between flames i believe not between worlds.

and to OP sorry no doesn't look like loot is shared between bases, you basically build one base then the rest of ya flames you just put down to use as fast travel points

storage with magical cheats is not shared between distance, personally have not checked to see how far but my storage at first camp don't reach my second.

No technically not, unless you wish to build a base for a specific reason, i think its good other people have complained but i dont like being forced to move my work every time i reach a new area.

i have 6 altars available to me, but im only using 2, one where the original base location for the tutorial, and my project Wizard of the deep flame, where im building inside a mountain.

Yeah i dont understand that design decision, they want us to build mutiple bases but doesnt let us share progres between them basically forcing us to start from scratch. I guess ill use them as a teleport point then.

I think its more a highlight of choice, you can build the bases, and they let you build huge. outside of the original 40 area you dont even need the space unless you want it. thats why the base size and flame upgrades are separate.

So its less of trying to take the negative aspect, and saying you have the choice, but dont need to and dont have to.

Well i would love to have a choice to connect all my bases but i dont have any ;p

Why do you need multiple crafting stations spread out over 7 bases? Just have one base for all of your crafting and just play around with the others, blocks etc have no weight and travel is instant.

There may be little value in multiple bases, but altars are useful to put down as fast travel points.

Magic Chest should be this feature, sharing resources across every base, rather than what they are, pull from chest for crafting, which should be a default game feature and not an upgrade.

I've my home altar and the others are dotted about near resource spots with one kept as a respawn point for shroud diving and general exploration. Takes less time to portal home, drop off stuff and portal back than it does to setup a second or third base for the same purpose.

It's easy enough to have boxes near each crafter to hold the stuff they use the most if a wall of random junkboxes is confusing.

I can't think of many treepunchers where a stash is shared globally across the world without a lot of technomagic gizmos and faff.

One thing I'd like to have is stations like the drying rack or seed bed pull from storage based off a number of crafts you want rather than having to split stacks to feed the machine manually.

It is a default game feature because of the magic chests.
