Container controllers plus extensions

[builder680]

Coming back for the first time since alpha 8, these confused me for a bit. At first I didn't have them connected right, then I connected them but thought I could only connect to the controllers 6 faces, so I made a ton of jack-shaped cargo arrangements with controllers at their center. Then I couldn't figure out why I couldn't connect to some extensions but I could to others.

So, as a psa I'm here to tell anyone else confused by this that’s its far simpler than I thought. You make a controller, be it cargo, ammo, or ore/wood, then connect a bunch of extensions. As long as the extensions are connected face to face (to each other and/or the controller), they add to the controller's volume. And you need at least a one block separation from extensions connected to other controllers.

Not nearly as complex as I was trying to make it while figuring it out, and hopefully anyone coming back to the game and confused by the same thing will run across this post.

its a simple multiblock, you can have different block shaped extenders as well, but they add capacity based on their block volume so less if its not full block cube

1: You need sometimes to add a extension after the Controller, or it can be that the controller dont "see" the connexted extensions

2: Have a wifi (to have a 100m radius with F4)

3: Consider that the weight ion the crates raises the vehicle weight. For example 32000 units filled with Armored conrete Blocks and even 4 XXL Thruster in a Sv can hardly lift the SV

Here a other post about weight

Just some tests

SV max volume per Controller 32 000 (Cv = 320 000 with 40 boxes)
Thats equal the room of 4 large blocks (4x4x4 Small boxes have so the same volume as one large box)

Sadly thats the same time the max if filled with heavy stuff
And then theres nothing for additional stuff on the Sv to the absolute necessary
