Item Storage

[poofgorilla]

Loving the game thus far minus one caveat.

Item storage is driving me up a wall! :(

With barrels that only hold 8 slots each, I can't organize the items I've collected in any manner that is useful or easy to use/remember. It's frankly easier to dump everything on the ground of my "town" and just sift through the piles whenever I need something.... and that's not exactly convenient either.



Could we please have a larger storage building? 20+ slots? I don't care if it takes up more space and more resources - I just want to be able to organize my junk. :) I'm at level 7 and the amount of items I've been accumulating (and quite frankly, using) has surpassed any chance of convenience with the available barrels/chests.

I drop logs stick stones coal palm leaves on the ground they wont disappear then I only put what I need to in the barrels

As pilot stated, things on the ground are perfectly safe. I stash behind the hut, so it doesn't look messy. At a higher lvl, you can make a barrel that holds more

Hi Poof Gorilla!
As you rise in levels, you can make bigger barrels, chests, large chests, shelves (30 items) and even magic chests!
But, until I havea coupla brick houses I usually chuck everything on the ground, with food in one area, building goods in another spot, and something else elsewhere, and then I decide to reorganise the spots.... and then I build a heap of large barrels!!!

I'm glad to hear there are eventually more options! :) Perhaps they need to become available a bit sooner? So long as they cost a reasonably high amount of resources I don't see the harm.

I do keep a lot of things on the ground but I wish I didn't need to. I would personally suggest another storage option to be available at level 6-7 since that's around when the barrels just really stopped being too functional for me.

Barrels are nice for keeping items in you want to keep organized
I place Barrels near each of my constructions such as Craft Table to keep items in needed for crafting stuff
Wool, Fabric, Canvas, Hides are stored by my Tailoring Table
Food items are kep in Barrels by my Cook Table and I usually have several barrles there located in a manner for easy access without having to move around much
by level 10, you'll have Capacious Barrels that hold 24 items and Shelves that hold 30
where the basic Barrel & Chest hold 10 items each
use Barrels indtead of chests as Barrels only take up 4 tiles on the build overlay where chests take 8 yet they hold the same amount.
therefore you can effectively double the storage inside a Hut of Branches by placing the barrels along the back wall and down one side.

for the basic stuff like sticks, logs, Palm leaves & Coal, I leave them neatly stacked near where they are used
Sticks by my Bonfires for Embers
Logs by my Coal Smokers
Coal near my Blast Furnaces
Soil near my Seedbeds

clay, Sand, stone and Palm leaves are neatly stacked in out of the way spots for access

once you have access to the Magic Boxes, place one by a convenient area such as your Altar and keep the other one on you
<it only take 1 item of inventory when disassembled yet the Green one holds 5 slots>
once you have these, keep important items inside it so they don't get stolen should you get killed
like Gem Chips, Coins, Scorpion Stingers, or Metal Ores
the Blue one holds 10 slots and is good for Ore Keeping
