@Lone_Explorer, I myself have never encountered the deletion issue, so no idea what's actually causing it, but seeming that various other people have come across it I would say it's a good idea to be cautious!
I believe it occurs on both Starbound/OpenStarbound from the different reported cases.
As for the suggestion, I did look into something of the sort in the past but sadly wasn't something simple to implement, hopefully in the future.

@KiruhiShay, unsure what could be causing the duplication, if someone finds more details for this do let me know!

Love the idea of this mod and want to use it, but the item deletion bug is making me hold off. Hopefully the issue is found. If I may ask, has this bug been happening with both standard Starbound and OpenStarbound?

In addition, a potential QoL idea I had. How difficult would it be to set up the crafting terminals to display the crafting station's icon on the terminal display to make it easier to tell at a glance what terminal has which station?

Just testing this mod but for some reason, everytime I put something in the storage, it straight up duplicates lol
I'm using Open Starbound + FU, playing multiplayer. The host doesn't have that issue
Thanks for your hard work, though! Always love having an easier storage system after playing the same game several times

@Octavio, glad you think so! beware of the terminal storage issue that's been going around, I have not come across the issue myself so I apologise if you come across it!

@lasiney, my guess is they changed something in the sapling item building, the terminal itself does not modify any data, when it receives an item it simply "pastes" the item data into the storage, and on retrieval it will once again "paste" the stored data into the output item

@Twinkie, I'm very late with the response, but yes did try some of those methods and I could not make it replicate hoping someone finds a consistent way to replicate the issue

Hi, I just tested your word and I think it's really successful, well done.

I got an interesting error when using the "Craftable Seeds New" mod alongside of this one.

It appears to impede the search bar itself and causes it to freeze. You have to click the X on the player's inventory because clicking the x on the Storage Dimension's window does not respond.

Anyways, the game and crash error happens specifically when I try to remove a sapling out of the Storage Terminal (have not tried the extended terminal).

If I unsubscribe from the "Craftable Seeds New" mod it appears to work as normal without crashing and search works too as normal.

I have included the error on Pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/m8bTjW77

Got hit with the deletion bug for the 3rd time now ;-;

Overall how it usually goes is 1st I'm chilling on my base planet and everything is fine then 2nd I beam up to my ship/to another planet 3rd I get back to my base planet to store stuff and everything is gone. Originally I thought it was some sort of chunk loading issue (like modded minecraft and mulitblocks)

This most recent time I had started a new save and followed my usual thought process ^ and made the terminal like literally right next to where I first beam down and did my usual store everything. So like I went to go do exploration stuff and realized I needed to back to put stuff =in the storage and everything was gone again you'd think I'd learn my lesson but :p

As for my mod list the major ones are Maple32, Etithian races, growing trays, SNAILS, Project Irisil, Krakoth, Arcana, Openstarbs, a shit ton of cosmetic & minor fix mods, and patches for the above :)

Please rename this to the "Senlac Storage" dimension. Trust me you'd make literally hundreds of people laugh their asses off.

maybe someday it'll let me connect stuff to it

It hasn't been implemented, so can't guarantee it will be compatible

how well does this work with automation aides

hoping and praying someone makes a compat patch for the omnicrafter

Log, dropbox is weird with the steam site notice so you need to directly copy it:

Also heres a log from me https://gist.github.com/adamkad1/603dbba145c56c34cf238c6d417d3e1e

I'd check FU first

Thank you for the in depth description! It is highly appreciated, I will see if I can do something with it, and yes if you still have the logs available, I'll happily check them out!

Your theory about it happening along the other issue (the tech reset) could indeed be onto something, really hoping we eventually make it into the root of it haha, this issue has gone for way longer than I would like it to

Unrelated but maybe connected other issue is that sometimes my techs randomly reset themselves to the basic vanilla ones (distortion sphere, dash, pulse jump). This and the deletion might be coming from the same place?

I got hit by the item deletion issue just now. Something I noticed was that it also affected the first few items I put into the storage right before I noticed it. My modlist has Frackin, Elithian Races, Arcana, and Starforge for the major ones.

For the full details of what I saw: I use a space station base, with one teleporter set a ways into it. The main Storage terminal is at the beginning of the station while the teleporter I went to is 1 core, 1 large core, and 2 greenhouses past it, so 5 total extension terminal connections. I immediately tried to put a piece of vanity clothing(designer pants from Elithian Races) into the terminal as soon as I could but used the search function to check if I already had a copy, I typed in "designer" and nothing came up so I tried to deposit the pants and they left my inventory but didn't show up on the terminal. I double checked after this and that's when I noticed that everything else was gone.
I have my logs if you want them.

The search engine should work by simply typing your search query into the search bar and with any of the search types selected, it shouldn't take longer than a second or two.

It should work with and without openStarbound, my guess would be a mod incompatibility, if you can find out what mod it is then I can take a look into it

How do I make search work? Every time I try to use it the window freezes. Then it still works but doesnt update any changes until I press esc and open it again (It makes the x button not work either). Can it be a mod or open starbound issue?

Update on the ITEM DELETION test :

This was both fruitful and unfruitful at the same time.

I spawned every single item from Frackin Universe and inserted them all into the Storage Terminal, this made about 94 pages of items , which luckily it proved that the terminal can handle thousands of items and still operate smoothly ( fraction of a second to open the terminal, and less than 2 seconds to search for an item).

Unfortunately, even with these many items, my items are still in the terminal even after reloading, save/loading, and various other actions, so once again I could not replicate the item deletion issue.

If anyone comes across the issue, please find a way to replicate it or give very specific details about how it happened, otherwise we will be going in circles, as this test was very time consuming .

@Pink Nyan Nyan Punch, at the moment you do have to use Extended Terminals to wire long distances as nodes, I do plan to make some nodes in the future so one can extend them similarly to the repeaters

At the moment there isn't a method to auto-input/output from the storage, it's another task in the list of plans once the current terminal issue is resolved

Hey LR! Question, how do i wire long distance Extended Terminals? I tried using FU's repeaters as a long distance wiring method to no luck (I'm currently thinking about using extended terminals as wiring lmao).

Is there a way to auto input / output items from the network? Like the Storage Bus from FU's network tools

@Mega Acrylic X, haven't considered it in the past but will probably not look into it until the current terminal issue is resolved, in theory it would be possible seeming that most of the checks are already there, but cannot remember on top of my head if the process is in an order that would allow for this to be implemented smoothly without major changes.

@videojame, sadly due to other projects I haven't had much spare time to look into this, currently running through your suggested method of spawning one of every item (using Frackin) but it is very time consuming so haven't gotten as far as I was hoping.

How hard would changing the station interface be to just add a "materials available" toggle? Like just move the table left a bit and the upgrade button to the right a bit and stick a toggle in the middle. Might be a bit useful with cluttered stations

So Ronny, how's the search going? If you've still been too busy, take your time. Just excited to know what it ends up being.

This being said, please ensure you only use 1 storage terminal per network, having multiple will definitely cause things to lag, as the intended amount is to have simply one storage terminal in the planet as mentioned in the item's description

@Dark_Krafter, This mod should not affect your teleport on the way out, only the way into the planet with the terminal, this is due to all recipes being loaded during the main terminal's initiation, this is to avoid having to load the recipes constantly while interacting with the terminals as this would spread the lag across every attempt to open up the terminal, I made this mod with efficiency in mind, so unfortunately I can't say I have a solution for what you're encountering...

would be great if it didnt make me wait 5 minutes to teleport anywhere

I really appreciate your findings, I will take a look into it when I have more time!
If anyone comes across an item (or a method) that consistently causes the issue to occur then please let me know, as that would speed up the process even more!

@Gigi The Devourer, just to confirm, with that mod installed:
1-retrieving saplings from the terminal will crash but everything else comes out fine?
2-You mean the search mechanic in the terminal? And if so, how does it behave? Do any of the filter methods work? (such as "name","id","category","description","tag")

I'm sorry I didn't think of it sooner. Hope it helps, Ronny. May the lord guide your steady coding fingers.

Wait... eureka! The only content mod in my save file was Frackin' Universe! Since I experienced the vanishing issue, if it has ANYTHING to do with the items itself, it has to do with an item structure seen in Frackin'.

It... might take a while. But it would absolutely yield some amount of evidence.

Maybe a binary search could work.
To explain how you would do this, take a large mod that's been in a good chunk of these vanish cases (like Frackin', which is known to be a lovable mess) and do one of every item. As in, EVERY item. In the mod. If the items dissipate, do a set of half of the items. This'll narrow it down by half, because if it does do the item deletion thing, you know the part you put in contains the items. If they don't, it must be in the other half. Repeat this process until you know what item, in specific, causes a vanishing event. Look at the code of the item and work outward from there.

Using this Named Saplings mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=753188786&searchtext=sapling) breaks two things:

Searching, just refused to work because the buildsapling.lua breaks treeStemDirectory

Extracting, specifically saplings. Everything else will come out just fine, but a sapling will crash the game (openStarbound, not really tested on vanilla Starbound)

for further context; i checked it 30 minutes ago to seeif something was inside, it was, all was good. i am then told in the voice chat 'hey did you move our storage' and it turns out that shit is just Gone.

the storage terminal just deleted everything in it randomly. i straight up do not know what could have caused this but it sucks that it happened

Could you make a simple mod that would permanently remove items that drop after death, pls

i forgot to say this, but at the time items in storage went away, i had crafting terminal unlinked with storage terminal next to it, at the time that happened i couldn't link it because i didn't unlock wiring function on matter manipulator

haven't encountered an issue so far with it , in the tests and my actual saves I just dump every single item into it, I am currently suspecting one of those situations where there might be a very very very specific item structure from certain mods I am unaware of causing the current issue

How's the "too many kinds of objects in one terminal" idea going

That is most likely it, at the moment beta bound is required in order to run the patch, it was an oversight on my part, will split up the patches into different mods in the future so then betabound will not be a requirement for the other patches

adding this mod cause error when I access inventor table. error message: "No such item sb_techupgrade2". May that be caused by not having betabound while installing the general patch?

Unfortunately people are encountering this with and without openStarbound, I've tried their mod collections and a bunch of their actions taken to see if I could replicate it, but no luck

OH.... yeah I can see why that would be a priority. I wonder if it has anything to do with use of, or lack thereof of openstarbound. I've got no supporting evidence to suggest this other than maybe it's why you cant replicate it? I'll set mine up with some junk items to see if anything happens

I would love for such implementations to exist in future updates, at the moment I would like to tackle on the currently ongoing issue (the one where people's items are getting deleted, as no one knows what's causing it) before adding any new features, but those are indeed very amazing ideas!

Is any chance we can get compatibility for frackin' universes ITDs and enhanced storage?

currently my entire storage system runs on these two mods for three reasons:
1: I have a LOT of items. moving them by hand is tedious. I don't enjoy that kind of gameplay. when I need to move more than an inventory worth of items, I use ITDs to do it for me.

2: with enhanced storage, chests keep their items in them when you smash them. I am absolutely terrified that I will break the terminal(which is something that will happen sooner or later) by accident and potentially be softlocked out of my game due to all the items dropping out.

3: enhanced storage has a really nice button that stores everything already stored. something like this would be really nice, though perhaps tailored or customizable to this mod as pressing this on a container with literally everything would just empty your inventory

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider my selfish request

@MelonTheAnimator, I have 30+ pages of storage in my world and yet to experience any lag at all, what does cause performance issues is having many pages of recipes, hence why I will only add the feature to add more crafting stations if I can find a reliable way to do so

@velieus, everything is stored in the one container (the terminal) because this avoids having to iterate through many other connected containers, which would instead require more processing to read through all different containers and carry out actions through them...
The amount of items stored in the current terminal will be unlikely to cause performance issues unless you have an absurd amount of items in it, and by that I mean a number I have not reached yet (in a server with a group of people all in end game sharing one terminal full of items, with several extended terminals and crafting stations scattered around the base)

Instead of storing EVERYTHING in it... why not connect other storages to it instead?

kinda like refined storage mod for minecraft
