LWM's Deep Storage

Small guide on how to use LWN's Deep Storage mods
As first when I subscribe this mods, I don't know how to use Deep Storage, like what stuff should be put in some storage. But now I know how to sufficiently store Item so I don't need to use much of the "storage zone" and now I will share what I think what should put in what storage.
Let start from the bottom to the right:
How to store thing
  1. Wooden shelf (Vanilla): Good to store 2 things outside. You could also use it indoor to remove object beauty debuff like when you want to store beer in dining room but don't want that -5 beauty.
  2. Double shelf : An upgrade to Wooden shelf as it can store 4 thing in 1x2 spaces each space store 2 items. You can use only wood to build which make it a sufficient storage solution. You can also store item outside without worries it will deteriorate when build outside.
  3. Tall shelves A bit more expensive as it also used any kind of material + 45 steel. But it can store every things to 8 stack and can store heavy thing up to 90kg each stack. Can be build outside and protect things from deteriorate. Good to store building but not good to store resource as there is a storage for that.
  4. Meal tray Like the name suggest, it use to store meal, any kind of meal. Able to store 10 stack of meal with 5 stack in each cell. Great to be use in Dining room. But becareful cause it's just store the food, it doesn't refrigerate or froze it so may vulnerable to rotting. Can be build in Walk in Freeze to freeze the food and prevent rotting. Good to store Permican or Packaged survival meal near Caravan spot.
  5. Food basket is a great storage to store food, food store in this will be frozen when build in Walk In Freeze room. Can store 10 stacks of food, 5 stacks per cell. Can also store Kibble, Pemmican, Herbal medicine and drugs as plant matter. But mainly should use to store raw food and plant matter.
  6. Meat hook great to store dead corpse as it can store 12 corpse in 1 Meat Hook with maximum weight at 560kg. Best way to use it in Freezer room near butcher table.
  7. Hayloft is the best storage to store Hay as that is it only funtion. Hay will detiorated when storing outside show you better build it indoor or in barn where animals can eat it. However it doesn't stop Hay from rotting so you should place 1 Hayloft set to important at the barn and 1 Hayloft set to prefferred so if they can't consume all the hay, some of it will be store forever.
  8. Cloth Hampers This is more or less a basket made out of fabric on Steel frame. You can store most of anything you want as it can store 10 stack compare to 8 stack max with Tall shelves .
  9. Pallet Is the best storage to store Raw resource, although it doesn't protect thing from deteriorated, it still prove it usefulness when you build it indoor as it provide the same amount of stack as tall shelves but doesn't need Steel to build so you can build ton of it to store resources. By storing resources with Pallet instead of Tall shelves, you have save a lot of Steel for future use.
  10. Pallet with Wrapping basically the same as Pallet but with improvement. Unlike normal Pallet, it protect items from deteriorated when place outside. It doesn't have negative beauty debuff when storing items in there unlike the Pallet.
  11. Steel Skip Although it quite expensive with material it build from, it is more useful to store Chunk as 1 Skip can store 12 Chunk. This can also store raw resources but you better store those in Pallet.
  12. Medicine cabin 1 should be place in Hospital and the other place near drug lab to product Industry medicine out of Herbal Medicine.Set the one in Hospital as important and one at drug lab preffered so when Hospital lack of medicine, they will bring it from drug labs to Hospital, leave 2 space free for another Hospital beds.
  13. Clothing rack is to store clothing. Can store 20 clothes each equal or less than 5kg. Should be use to seperate clothe. If you have mending mods, you can adjust the the hit point scale so low hit point clothes will be brought to Clothing rack near mending table you had build.
  14. Safe To store your money, 20 stack of it. Silver has stack of 500, meaning you can store 10.000 silver in 1 safe. Good to store in the deepest space of your base or near orbital trade. Can also store gold and other count as valueble. (Organ should be store in tall shelves)
  15. Weapon Cabinet A easy way to store your weapon, melee or range. Best to store near your pawn room so they can get the weapon right away when there is raid in midnight. Can store 30 weapon.
  16. Weapon Locker same as Weapon Cabinet but fancier and made out of steel and can store 50 weapon. Good to store a massive amount of weapon in the storage.
That it foe. Hope this will help so you can make the best decision to store stuff. My main language isn't English so I'm open to those who want to fix my grammar so more people could understand my guide better.

Thanks! Just a question: if I put hay in a hayloft inside a barn, can animals eat straight from the hayloft? If not I don't quite get the usefulness

Yes they can, but it also may depend on the setting, do you allowed animals to use the storage?
