Unpowered storage container?
So it seems that the "Refrigerator" and "Storage Unit" tech tree entries both unlock blueprints for refrigerators, which is a bit odd. My problem with using the refrigerator as general storage is that it requires power, and you can't retrieve items inside if the base isn't fully powered. So if something interrupts the base power supply, anything in storage is inaccessible.

Is there (or will there eventually be) an unpowered storage where we can stash our need-it-in-an-emergency items? In particular, I'd like to put the Air Compressor and CO2 bottles somewhere where they aren't subject to the very condition they're supposed to fix (loss of power due to dirty solar panels). Currently, I have them stored in the Escape Pod, but that seems very awkward.

Thanks for the reply! OK, I'll look forward to that then. I'm having a lot of fun with the game, thank you all for your work on it! :D

It would be nice to make 1-2 crates in the launch escape pod interactive. That is, to put something there. There are many boxes in the capsule, but they are of no use after removing the rescue kit

A bit of a cheat, but if you click on the printer screen in your pod and change to "Inventory" view, you can put random items in the intake and output sections. Just make sure you have enough free slots in the output inventory to hold anything you want to craft with the printer.

Yes, I know about this moment, but it is at least inconvenient and not logical. Also inventory is very small.

I wish we could have storage shelves in the future as well. Where you can set up a warehouse in one of your workshops.

you can also print the storage rover trailer. Drop it where ever you want, stores tons of stuff. Can even leave it in the large rock crusher and put stuff in it there, or put it in your hanger, or leave it by the air lock to your base. I haven't checked to see if you can make more than one yet.

Could you set the storgae box to the ones we salvage, the canister and the crate that doesn't open?
The crate like 2 or 3 slots, and the canister like a 2 slot vaciuum sealed one only able to hold organic's.

Being greedy now but could you also add a tank storage rack for the oxygen, co2 and water ones.
Should work bit like the planting shelf placing the bottles.
