Phaneron's Basic Storage

New storage options?
If you want to suggest new storage options, here is your chance. Bonus points if they make good use of the Adaptive Storage Framework.

Currently working on:
- meal storage
- corpse storage (for storing corpses meant for butchering)
- maybe something that store hay and kibble

klvlt adapted some of the textures from this mod into their own storage buildings. Look here for a dedicated medicine crate. Check out their other mods for some more storage options.

I would like if there was some sort of larger storage for completed food items, so meals, drinks, etc. Maybe like a large shelf.

Weapon/Armor/Clothes shelves of some sort? Maybe changes display on whats in it. Would assume its easier to have a general change rather than specifically show the exact armor/weapons

I might do a weapon storage of some kind, but no clothes or armor. I want to leave that for shelves. No idea when I'll add that, though.

I'll think about a specific meal storage option. Originally I wanted to leave meals for vanilla shelves but I can see why something more specific, with more storage space might be nice, especially for larger colonies.
A corpse hook option would be nice. Maybe 2-3 at most, I felt I had too much space with another mod with meathooks but I've come to dislike having corpses strewn across the floor since disabling that.

Also, thanks for the boxes that show what's contained in them such as wood and steel. Love them a bunch.

A medicine specific cabinet would be nice. Also as The Dutchman mentioned - shelves for weapons and clothes which could fit more units. Vanilla shelves are not big enough, it's so frustrating. Maybe adding the possibility to store weapons and clothes in the crates?

It was already mentioned, but a weapon rack and a clothing rack would both be great.

The steel crate is a 5/1 and can store almost anything.
Can we get some other things that match that ratio but are more specialized? I'd love to have a linen basket by my tailor, but atm I may as well just put a steel crate there.

Something like "warehouse shelf" to store unused production stations would be incredible. Unsure if it's possible but if we could see the little minified stations, that would be awesome.

I'd really like there to be some 5/1s or 10/2s for food/meal types. Like a shelf tray or something.

Pantry as a 2x2 or 2x1 could be good for storing lots of food. Hooks for something to store frozen animals.

I was also beat to medicine cabinet.

Trough for storing hay would be great, I leave it out with my animals and sometimes it's decaying despite being 30 degrees out.

A hardware style wood shelf, and a larger roundwood pile that takes up more space but stores much more.

Anything for better chunk storage. 1/tile isn't enough for places that do a lot of mining. 1/4 of all stone mined drops a chunk, and I don't want 1/4 of my base to be chunk storage. Similarly a brickpile neatly stacked.

Lots of stuff to think about.

I'll think about a linen basket, though I'm hesitant to add something that can already be stored in multiple other buildings. I started this mod because I was annoyed that other storage mods always had too many superfluous options, which is why I want to think about every building I add. There are already other dedicated buildings I'm planning, that I think have higher priority.

There are several buildings that can store buildings, so I don't see any reason too add another one.

I'm already working on doing meal storage. Not sure when that will be finished.

I won't be doing medicine storage. I think shelves are fine for that.

I'll think about something to store hay and maybe kibble. Though, if I remember correctly, hay does not only decay outside, but also rots. There isn't much I can do about rotting.

Chunks can already be stored in the industrial dumpster, which can store 6/tile. Which I think is pretty good, especially as most of the time players also use a lot of chunks. While that might not seem all that much while you hollow out a mountain, I think it's in a good place right now.
evcastello Apr 16, 2024 @ 1:02pm 
That's fine, I happen to be in a cold climate so the decay was more of an issue than the rot.

I tested with spawning chunks and the dumpster only held two chunks total.

And understandable, I was just trying to avoid spamming the exact same crate all over my base. Other things that matched the efficiency but were specialized and use different costs seemed like a good alternative.

@evcastello
Last time I checked the dumpster worked as intended, but I'll test that again, just to be sure
evcastello Apr 16, 2024 @ 1:32pm 
Oh it's fine, I tested it wrong. I didn't have anywhere in my base to but it atm so I spawned one a ways away and tried to spawn chunks on it. When actually hauling it works just fine, mb. I have one near my stonecutter and it's working great now.

I definitely agree on more specific storage types, such as a rack, closet, or wardrobe for armor and weapon racks and cabinets for weapons, as well as meal racks! I much prefer this mod to LWM Deep Storage, but I really love some of the specific storage types from that mod.
S Apr 17, 2024 @ 1:26pm 
Someone mentioned it already, but I'd like to cast another vote to corpse storage.

Just feels kinda wrong to have them lying on the floor after I've taken the time to set up a nice n' tidy freezer, so even if it's just a visual thing only that still stores a single animal corpse per tile, I'd still take it.

Only other mod I've seen adding something for this is deep storage's meat hook, but just like you said, deep storage adds way too many extra clutter that I don't really need.

I got confused when i couldn't find storage for meals. I understand now and am slightly disappointed. I can't wait for meal storage!

Random ideas:
Stylized big liquid containers for
- chemfuel
- blood for Sanguophage
- oil (Rimfeller)
- water (Bad Hygiene)
Shelves for alcohol and canned meat (Vanilla Cooking Expanded)
Shelves for books, newspapers, and papers from Research Data where you can see what's lying inside (maybe they can link to the research table for research speed)
- A platform where you can put several sculptures on display. Maybe with reduced beauty stat. It allows you to put more "beauty" in less space but you need to produce more art.
- A similar platform for batteries, flower plants
