Containers and item degradation

[Graorgh]

I'm moving from Lonely lighthouse in DP to TWM and I have a serious problem in my new home, Mountaineers Hut. Space. I have already filled the 40kg container and I need more space, so I have a few questions:
- Is it possible to carry an empty container from one location to another?
- When I place an item on a shelf, does it degrade as if it was stored in a container or as if I just lay it in the ground?
- The boxes count as containers (slowing degradation)?
I would be very happy it it was possible to craft some kind of cupboard or cabinet
I know that a possible solution would be to not try to save EVERYTHING, but it's beyond me, my Diogenes syndrome won't allow me that

Unfortunatly you can't move containers. You can use the fishing hut on the lake but for further storage.

In regards to putting stuff on the table or shelves , I only put stuff that doesn't degrade such as tools , weapons etc. Hope that helps.

- no, they're static.

- items outside (at least some of them) degrade faster than stored materials. Example, i put bear meat in a container and then some chunks on top of the kitchen table (because fridge was full). The meat on the table rotted and disappeared long before the one in the container. Id assume other items with degradation have similar behavior.

- Any kind of container in the game doesn't degrade or lose its properties.

What you can do is try and manage the 40kg you have for essentials. As in, store the non perishables on the floor, on a shelf, table, wherever, things like wood, sticks, kerosene, storm lanterns, all the tools, rifles, bows, etc etc. Maybe you can manage by then.

Containers slow the decay rate by 50%.

I use containers for meat and matches. Everything else goes on shelves, counters or the floor. Sometimes I actually find myself enjoying the process of arranging all my junk on the counter so it's semi-organized. Yeah, I may have a touch of OCD. :)

Check out the boats by the dock as well-have found a plastic bin there-not sure if is in every game-learned to check out the boats the last time I was passing thru DP-not sure if they are random or not
