Storage

[normski]

Hi everyone,

I am spamming chests but feel I am missing something. How are you all doing your storage?

It's a flippin nightmare. Not sure why 100 chests in Valheim never felt like this but there's just so many fiddly bits and it is exploding exponentially before my very eyes. And the chests are enormous. Particularly daffy when putting them next to the teeeeny weeeeeny forge that looks like it's for mousy minions to use. And they don't stack, and they don't go on shelves. Mel Brooks designed the crafting system with John Cleese at his side. Goofy helped.

I store the things I'm trying to keep in storage chests and simply go to the higher capacity chests as they become available and I've accumulated the required materials.

You can name the chests, so it's not really that big a deal to keep track of where you put thins.

As far as I know there isn't much of an alternative in this game (or many games of this genre).

Naming chests and sorting by categories. I just have a room full of chests along the walls, and as they become full I narrow the category. Works well enough.

It's not the best system for it, but I expect it will be improved.

Nicely stacked chests!

[Faya AOP]

2 Chests besides each crafting station, only mats inside which go into the station.
Contemplating to start to destroy lowest tier mats in arrival now.

Takes a bit of work, but the key is to start from the top and work down. Climbing on something so you can get a better view of the top shelf helps, and crouching for the one on bottom.

Edit: You can rotate the shelf 90 degrees and put another row of chests beside the first. You can get 10 chests on one shelf if you really wanna go nuts.

Yea. It takes a bit of work because it does not "snap" in place (like other games)

I do not have steamer "yet" and still use weatherd trunk (EVERYWHERE!! I got like 20 chests)
I use tables and you probably notice that it has to be place "perfect" on the top and you have that "little green/ok" where you can plop it.

my beef is that I wish it snaps so I do not have to play tetris with my shelves.

They do but it is a complete pain in the ass. You can ONLY put them on the shelf when the shelf is NOT built. In other words destroy the shelf, destroy the chests, place them but do NOT use the material options until everything is placed.

Voyager Steamer Trunk is a bit smaller. I think it came form a POI somewhere around Gloom/Hunt realms?

There is a dresser container you can buy in one of the first Ascended realms (Forest I think) that holds 50 items. I think it was 50 or 75 T3 essences.

Take the gold chests (has 55 slot capacity) and rotate them to the side, and slide them into the walls, then you can stack them neatly horizontally side by side along the wall, then if you have some sort of platform on top of them you can place another layer on top.

If you place containers side by side very tightly apparently it can form a surface for chests to be placed on top if there is zero gaps.

I'd suggest using Steamer Trunks at the bottom since they are the easiest to aim towards, then place a row of gold chests above neatly.
For material categories:
- Ores (I leave coal and sulfur in there for convenience sometimes)
- Ingots
- Parts (Anything not ingots or is a combination of materials I leave in here)
- Gems
- Stone
- Fiber (I include threads and wicks here sometimes)
- Textile (mainly leather/fabric/cloth/felt)
- Alchemy (Paper / Ink related stuff to the Enchanter's table)
- Magic (Infusions/Charms/etc)
- Potion
- Wood
- Seeds
- Coatings (I do the material processing so I use a container elsewhere underneath the mortar for these)
- Fused items (I keep these stat fusion items separate from the ingots to avoid mixing them up)

Visions of Valheim dance through my head. Yeah, up to weathered on tables. It's early so not horrible and at least we can move full chests around. That is a great QoL that cannot be understated when I know I will go to the next upgrade.

Do we ever get a better looking cooking apparatus? It's ok in my hovel but I gotta hope for better later. I would like option of cook stove &/or fireplace since we have to have them accessible everywhere.

Thanks for the shelf info. Tables for now will have to do. There is a limit to my futzing about instead of exploring and killing stuffs.

Ascended Antiquarian Forest had a fireplace light (no cooking) on the vendor.

Yeah well I still have nightmares of when two Lox spawned in my base and destroyed my warehouse of a dozen chests full of junk.

[Foxglovez]

LOL lox, so cute and tasty. Imagine one with our tissue paper buildings. No, don't.

At T3 you get a smallish metal gas cooker lookalike thing, if that counts.
