Previous base item cache

[Stoke]

I built this thing then went and deleted my old base once id setup a new spot. Now when i go to the cache it keeps telling me inventory full. which inventory is it attmpting to use? exosuit? spacecraft? freighter? base storage? ive gone to each and cleaned them out and still it says full full full. How much space could the mats from that starter base need? driving me nuts...

AFAIK, it no longer works. It was useful back when you only got one base. Now that you can have multiple bases, not really needed and you can just delete the items in your old base if you want the resources.

Generally, it is a bad idea to ever delete a base....unless you go crazy and build so many you hit the limit.

Did you delete the base piece by piece, or using the computer? This only works if you use the computer.

The base cache overflow storage container still works. It holds an enormous amount of resources (I think each slot is about 20000 parts or something!) You can only transfer OUT from the overflow to your inventory, if there is a free slot in your General Inventory of your exosuit. You can not transfer into the overflow.

The new splitting of stacks function (button C hovering over a stack) may or may not work with the overflow container.

I use overflow storage object a lot on my freighter as it collects resources from planet bases I delete every so often. It can be useful to dip into for easy gathering of resources or plants I may have destroyed some time ago. To make use of the container, you must delete the base computer.

Message you get from it is a bit misleading, when it says it is full, it is actually empty.

I used it just a few days ago so it worked, then it had the various parts in it from the base I had previously deleted, then when I had emptied it, it said it was full.

One disadvantage of using that cache is that you do not get 100% back of the material, do not remember the difference, but it was maybe 50%, so if you want to delete a base, it is probably better to do it manually bit for bit, if you have time and energy, then you get all the material back.
