Whats the best container to store tools in?

[robcreid]

I'm starting to get quite an array of tools, what the best sort of container to store the ones I'm not currently using in? A pile of tools on the floor seems a bit messy.

large chest

No the best container is a stone coffin

[Skurcey]

no cause you cannot lock it

Thanks for the options guys.

If playing solo the lack of locks won't matter with coffins. If you have it in a locked building or locked fenced/wall area it shouldn't matter either. Coffins will hold very large items that a chest won't.

And you can always store them in a cart - maybe you have a small cart you built and are no longer using to haul stuff, but it can still serve as storage.

I tned to use a chest next to my forge to save my metal imping tools (whetstone, hammers, etc.) since that is where I will need them. If I am raising sheep I might have one in my sheep pen that holds my scissors and possibly a grooming brush (though I usually carry that one). In your farming area maybe you want a coffin to store a rake and scythe. That way you always have your tools where you need them. You just have to remember to put them back :)

Do not leave your tools on the ground - they will decay. You either need to carry them or put them in a container or vehicle.

Large cart with large chests (or rafts) inside it. You can put every tool in the game inside this. If you're just starting out a small cart can work also. Rember to put the smaller tools inside something like a small chest in order to prevent the 100 items per a container limit.

i got sick of not being able to find my tools when i need them so i went the COFFIN route and i have to tell you it was the best decision ever, now i have all my tools in the same place, i also use a big storage bin for my nails planks, iron lumps rocks all that stuff, i'm really getting organised now, i even have a large crate for my wood scraps,
