And "blocks" not "square storage boxes" :smug:

For balance and variation make them really cheap, limited inventory size, but unlockable. Can't really lock a pile of ammo and it would make for excellent temporary stashes for equipment transfers or early game loot.

 
Roland you just hit on a really good idea.
I dont know if its has been suggested but can

square storage boxes be replaced with the ingame

loot containters. For Ammo the small ammo pile.

For guns the gun bag. For medical supplies either

the supply cabinet or medical supply. Simple rotation

placed on 1/8th platforms.

Visually would add depth without needing to add new

assets. Easily distinguished.

Are you asking for the ammo piles to be containers instead of destroyed after loot.? The immersion police will not be happy opening up empty ammo piles...lol

No its about making them craftable. looks way nicer in your base. And those craftables of course would not destroy themself

Player crafted ones for bases are probably okay but would be a buzz kill for some if in POIs. On a side note the little gun bags are lootable containers...?

No Laz

I meant in the player built base all storage is in the cubicle boxes. I was thinking of a radial select like the ammo for a weapon,

so you can make a ammo pile as a storage container instead of naming a box. you select build secure box choose radial and pick

the container shape. Just a visual to show what is where using already in game resources.

That should be easy to mod in for now.

1) Add ammo blocks to storage box shape selector

2) Modify ammo blocks to not destory on close and make them lockable.

Edit: I went ahead and created a modlet for this since my brother thought it would be a nice addition on our server. See picture and link below for download. Cheers. :)

Nice Laz,

Just downloaded it will use when off tomorrow, thanks.

 
Looks like yard sales have come to A18...

(Please no more updates on this mod in this thread. People can subscribe to your mod thread to learn about updates)

 
Wondering if anyone asked this already, BUT the claim to "Make vehciules out of existing shapes" books, are we finally going to able to make mobile bases AKA Mortal Engines?!?!? (Movie Title not a base that is alive, crap that would scare me more than zombies)

This is best a mod so people's frame rate at their base is decent, those containers are a lot of polygons and texture space in memory. Those containers aren't very user friendly either, I want to target a big 1 meter box to quickly open my stuff not target a tiny little bag.

That is another reason not to allow it, players could troll others and put special loot containers everywhere, not to mention slow the fps to nothing having hundreds of high poly bags all over the place. We might eventually make something better than basic boxes for players, we'll see.

I'd be happy if we can get those new metal chests as craftable items. The old chests and crates are kinda meh imo.

 
I have something to ask will we ever have something more than a gun safe? because I was wondering if we'll ever be able to create those hardened chests that have 10k hit points or would this be best as a mod maybe? if they where craft able eventually I would imagine they would be crafted at a hefty price of resources.

as usual thanks pimps

and another thing as well I can remember when I got the max skills in mining and I was able to one hit stone blocks I kinda like this change how we aren't completely op and we can do decent block damage and it also makes pvp balanced as well hence you cant just absolutely demolish peoples bases I have only just thought about pvp for this

and what I am meaning to ask in shorter words is are we going to be getting any player block damage/entity damage changes?
