Dedicated storage issue?
ok so I am playing on valguero and everything has been working great for days. however after we defeated the bosses as a tribe figured we wanted tek dedicated storage and it was ok to spawn some in since not available on the map. anyway for days after, everything seems fine. but today when I log in I cannot access the dedicated storage boxes inventory. only withdraw a stack from the radial menu and depost it just fine. but there is no way to access the internal inventory. I used to press F to access them. like dinos and stations etc.. but nope nothing happens now.

ummm the S+ dedicated storage you cannot even access the inventory to put anything inside it to set it... when you walk up to a new storage container the only option you have is to Set resource type, which then brings up a scrolling menu of all resources. So you cannot set it to store bullets. the REGULAR non S+ ones work as you described, by setting itself to whatever you put inside. However I have no found a way to set an S+ dedicated storage to store an item. because no items are on the Set Resource Type List it brings up.

The dedicated storage can only hold 1 resource type at a time.

yeah I just mean can it store cluster grenades or glowsticks at all? using the transfer gun? cus neither the regular or S+ can be set to those items. without the transfer gun. so im curious if with it, can I store those inside?

Id say its because it doesnt accepted crafted things... base resources only.

which sucks because the regular ones DO accept crafted things. :( its just the S+ ones that do not. HOWEVER I can make a regular one, put the crafted Item inside it, and then let it turn into a S+ one and so long as it isnt reset, it will always accept the crafted Item.

Also just tested it and even though the regular ones will not accept cluster grenades and glowsticks specifically I can use the transfer gun to put those into a regular dedicated storage, just not a S+ one... soooo I can place a regular, transfer it with a gun into it, then let the storage change to S+ and it will keep the settings.

Concerning the “pulling“ of resources: if you set a resource, go to the unit, hold “e“ and then “consolidate“. That pulls all resources of that type into the unit.

As far as i can tell... can cause some issues for Troughs or generators.

But that's like... 4-5 resources that you have to kinda look out for. (Element, Gas, Raw and cooked meat and maybe Tintoberries)

I'm a few days late to the party with this, sorry. The S+ Dedicated Storage will list anything that appears on the pull menu. If you add things to the pull menu, they will also be added to the menu for the S+ Dedicated Storage. I have added a line to the GameUserSettings.ini under the [StructuresPlus] heading that adds a whole slew of items to the pull menu (all quality of life stuff). I will share what I use here. It pulls items from all expansions, some S+ stuff and some CKF stuff. If you do not have the mod, the item does not appear in the list. Feel free to try it out.

(note expires in 30 days)

Just copy the contents of this note and put it under the [StructuresPlus] brackets in the GameUserSettings.ini file on your server of ask your server admin if he will do it. If there is no Structures Plus heading, just add it.
