yep, ive started using a single large rover mining truck, that can store 8 of them, that gives me 200 slots (including the 4 back and front) its crazy.

I stick a seat and drill at the front, and 2 rtgs on the back, you can op to stick some worklights/floodlights angeld on the silos to provide amazing lighting too, as well as a single slot oxygen gen, and you can stay out from base indefinetly. If you make a train then its a true mobile base.

The only annoyance is due to the tall size of them, your vision is greatly obstucted by them when your driving around, you have to keep adjusting your camera to see ahead of you, its best to sorto f tilt teh camera down to see ahead of you from the ground

is the drill able to collect dirt yet? a few months ago l made a drill/crane and tryed to get dirt useing them but was unable to. which is weird seeing that the only reason l thought to do that was cause l did it in the early access and it worked.

im not sure to be honest, but as they are adding a terrain flattener attachment that can deposit dirt as you go, if it doesnt work yet, it will when they patch that in

Works fine if you put a drill in front of a tractor and a storage loaded with containers on its trailer. Fill them up by drilling around.

Not sure about crane though.

24 slots per silo x (8) is 192. The drill collects resources if you have just empty storage slots on rover, but if you load it up with canisters, the drill does collect soil. Got another 96 filled yesterday inside of 20 minutes.

My Atrox base contains up to 240 of each resource, smelted resource, gas, Hydrazine and components. Just finished building up Organic, Resin and Compound yesterday

Imagine how ridiculous it's gonna be when large silos are introduced...

If I'm correct, one large silo has 12 medium storage spots, times the 24 on a medium silo, is 288 single slots, meaning that a large rover with these set up can carry 566 single items.

wow. (cue manical laughter)
