Storage Overhaul

[Burns]

One thing I'd like to see as the game hits 1.0 in the future is an overhaul to the Storage system. I turn to what is basically a trope in survival games: the humble wooden storage box. I despise it, in form and function. I despite it in nearly every survival game I've played. I appreciate that its use is likely to control game performance but there must be a more immersive way of doing it. I would like to see options to add Shelves. I see shelves as an immersive way of showing what is being stored that is more visually interesting. I imagine shelves that are snap-able to each-other and to walls, essentially mimicking building behaviours players players already exhibit. There could be the basic wooden shelf, then an iron shelf, and a black metal shelf to mimick the items that already existI wouldnt want to take anything away from players so I love to see these as additional items. I bet decorations would appreciate this sort of thing.

In addition, I'd like to see a concept of "bulk storage" introduced, which cosmetically already exists - ie items like wood, stone, metal, trophies take the concept of the stone or wood pile that currently already exists in the game less as a cosmetic but an actual integrated storage system. Got a bunch of stone you are dropping around? Lets see that pile up!. It would be great for trophies so we can have giant piles of heads for storage and decoration.

If the cart can display boxes representing how full it is, why not have a furnture with a few inventory slots that shows the model of the stored item per slot in a defined place. So.. yes, a shelf would be great.

I built a "fake shelf" once, a few boards, chests and item stands behind wooden doors. This worked quite good already.
And I was able to confuse my friend in the next room, because when I opened my shelf the door clipped into his room :D

some sort of auto sort function of any kind would be great, i hate organizing and trying to remember when everything is even with labels or sorting a dump chest to their own chests id rather be doing pretty much anything else maybe shelving would help that somewhat

id also like the look of the things you've suggested as an option

inspired by this post I tried to build a custom shelf. This is as far as I got:

The left side has 4 or 5 armor stands and a door in front. The right side has one board with a lot of item holders where I tried to place my mage staves so far. And a few boxes.
The whole thing can be closed with wood doors.
