How to use the new twig storage?

[Lobo]

It's just to drop things there?

Hey!

Yes, you just drop items there. =)

The devs responded to the many pointless requests for storage because apparently making a pile in a box is much, much better than making a pile on the ground.

Players asked for something pointless so the devs gave them something pointless - can't fault the devs.

Want them neatly stacked? Drop them on the ground.

Well... yeah! =D

It's the best possible solution for now. Certain technical difficulties are preventing us from doing it some other way.

I have a large-ish house on platforms, I drop all the bulky stuff under the house, in organized piles but easy to access and doesn't clutter up the inside. Got a woodworking/forge setup under canopies right next to the house, makes it all real simple to deal with and those foundations on stilts easily mark off areas to drop items in to have good, sensible piles (different types of wood, rocks, ores, etc.). Work smarter, not harder.

Yeah, I found the storage quite pointless, it's hard to grab the stuff inside. I don't know why people are asking for that kind of storage, when a foundation with half walls, or even some rocks, is good enough if you don't want to make boxes.

Eh, more options are good. Players will have more choices on how to handle their items. I can see using the twig storage box for some items, like tossing all the spoiled food into, etc.

Except that every option involves time and effort for the devs. Wondering what (more useful and interesting) thing we're *not* gonna get because peeps complained about not having totally unnecessary storage boxes.

I remember - when I first bought the game - being impressed by how nicely the devs did the "stuff piles itself neatly when dropped" mechanic.

Sometimes it piles too neatly. I actually lost about half my health once falling off a pile of stacked long sticks when I was doing a Very Hard run.

I wold rather the boxes stacked at least 1 high
