Is there a way to move storage boxes with items in them?

[plump pickle]

It's a pain to constantly empty the storage boxes so that I can finally pick them up. Especially when there are like 20 boxes and the urge to redesign the ship strikes.

Doesn't appear to be a way. Definitely a huuuuge timesink when needing to move storage containers. Combined with the small inventory space, redesigning ship layout becomes an exercise in frustration.

It´s strange because it applies to almost all objects. Except that you can move it with the battery value. So something is saved when you pickup an item.

Devs should probably add some form of logistics upgrade for your ship. Allowing fabrication equipment to utilize an input/output and also allow the player to transfer items between storage boxes and their inventory.

Keep hoarding down until you upgrade your boxes and get shelves to stack them on. Then you can fit 200 slots worth in each "cube" room and still have room to walk between. As that point it becomes pretty easy to organize.

Doesn't everybody empty their boxes to move them, and only after setting the box down do you retrieve each item and put it back in the box... one at a time.

Can't tell if this is sarcastic! But yeah IRL all my storage bins are there specifically so I can lift and move everything all at once. So strange to have to remove everything from the in game bins to move them.

Really makes sense to be able to move boxes with objects in them yes :P rly hope it gets added, such a silly mechanic not to

[Kolosus]

Yes yes yes. +1

Games with base building NEEDS movable storage chests. I would also like to be able to use stored inventory items in crafting from chests on the ship.

This is something we're in the process of sorting

Some kind of checks and balance is necessary. Otherwise there's nothing stopping players from exploiting 6x the storage space by filling their inventory with boxes.

Something along the lines of: a box containing items always fills your hands, so no interactions/item/tool use until the box is put back down.

you missed the OP point, it wasn't about pocketing crates to expand your personal inventory, it was about making already placed crates movable w/o the requirement to empty them first.
