What's A "Container Controller"?

[Colonel_Camel]

I understand the deal with Ore & Wood and Ammo Container Controllers in hover vessels and small spacecraft. But what about for bases? As far as I can tell the "Container Controller" just seems to function the same as a cargo box. So what's the deal with it?

if you play with Weight and Volume option on you can make bigger containers.

place container controller and then add a container extension.

a cv/base container controller holds 8k add a extension it holds now 16k, up to a max of 320k per controller. ( total of 40blocks max, 1 controller +39 extensions )

Do Containers made of Controller plus Extensions have more *slots* in them as more Extenders are added? I was very disappointed to find that they didn't in A11, and haven't had time to check 'em in A12 yet.

add another controller, i dont want a skyrim inventory list every time i open my menu, i whole heartedly enjoy the modularity that exists.

And of course, it's entirely mete that your play style differs from what I would like to see. If I could set several containers to be the input for my Constructor(s), I'd be happy to have separate 'overflow' boxes, but I find it disappointing that I have to shuffle stuff between storage areas to keep my Constructors churning. Note: disappointing. I can live with it, but it's not what I *want*. Also, what I *want* wouldn't interfere with your way of playing at all.
