When to use the Archival Storage Unit?
I'm experimenting with the Digital Storage Unit, Archival Storage Unit, and the I/O ports and am starting to see the power of this mod. Two questions though:

1) When hand carrying an item into the storage units, is one difference between the DSU and ASU that only 1 pawn can interact with the ASU at a time? I tested in quick devtest and the DSU didn't seem to have that limitation.


2) Since the Archival Storage Unit can't be used with the Advanced I/O Port (to allow pawns to remove items) and also doesn't count towards resources in the upper-left counter (meaning you can't build with them), what is the correct way to use the ASU?

I thought maybe it was supposed to be for overflow storage, but your pawns won't replenish the DSU from the ASU so that didn't seem right either. I'm struggling to figure out the use case for the ASU.

1) Use an IO Port

2) The Archival Storage Unit was built with the primary focus on performance.
That ultimate performance focus limits some of the potential use cases.
The Primary use case is to store stuff with almost no performance impact (e.g.: if you tend to hoard stuff, this will help your performance)
Note: you can use it with Do until X Bills

Things I have personally used it for:
- Temporary storage for Tainted Gerar & low quality weapons waiting to be Recycled.
- Bulk Storage for resources (stone, steel, …)

Wouldn't your pawns be unable to build with the stone and steel though? That was one of the first things I tried before in a quick devtest and the pawns couldn't see the materials when it was in the ASU.

By building & configuring IO Ports they can
