can you use town storage for temporary storage?

[Morgan_the_S̶i̶m̶p̶ Fae]

in the tutorial i remember it saying that you can drop stuff off in the town storage for use later but maybe i was mistaken, i can't figure out how you put things away in there. did i misunderstand or is there some kind of trick?

I think you might need a truck with a crane and unload the cargo onto the loading platform and leave it there until you need it. Then use the crane to load it back.

You can drop off stuff basically everywhere (needs a crane) but AFAIR only crafting zones permit an unload option

If I understand the question right, then it's just as the two guys above say -- you can unload and leave cargo anywhere on the map, and come back to it at a later time.

You can either unload it with a crane (untie it first to be able to lift it), or you can "drop" it on the ground if your vehicle rolls over. Unless you drive up near the cargo and choose the option to delete it from the map, the cargo won't disappear and will persistently stay on the map, even if you switch the game to other maps / countries.

So if you prefer to play this way, I guess you can designate a storage point / hub, where you can bring and store any kind of cargo, to be picked up and moved somewhere else later. The only possible exception might be the logs -- they are so long and cumbersome that it might be a big pain to load / unload them a bunch of times (but you technically still could, if you wanted to).
