MoreContainers v2.1 (Alpha 21)

In my mind I need a crate for each game item....imagine how big my base would have to be to have one of each crate in my crafting room :D

 
Ooh, to go along with CrazyAluminum's suggestion of a chemistry box, I would like to throw in a proverbial coin for a container with a Gear icon for mods with a big pretty please, using that same website they posted. This one is a really good option, imo. It gets the point across pretty bluntly and it's a rather clean and easily-editable icon if it needs to be edited! It also fits in well with the other icons you've chosen. 

 
Hello beautiful people,

Any chance the author of this mod is still active? I'd love more storage container labels in my life. 😄

 
Not sure if you know or not but the crates can be made writable.

Unless you are talking about one with the picture labels.

 
Well, I'm finally back. I was away from the game for a while and then I built myself a new PC and didn't have any of the tools installed so I procrastinated.

Anyways, expect some new designs soon. Here's a sneak peek:

1.6: Crates for mod parts 

  • Changed the modding design (its purpose was not clear enough)
  • Added designs for Armor, Vehicle (in preparation for Alpha 20), and Weapon Mods crates and half-crates

  •     Fix a typo that was there since forever, if you used an ammo crate of half-crate, you will probably have to remove it with and place it back

Hey Xanderon. I would like to make the new box designs available as paint. In fact, it was my original intention. Unfortunately, as this point there are no way to mod in new paint textures. I know there are some change to modding coming with Alpha  20, but I haven't heard of any changes concerning paint texture modding.

If would very much like to add new painting textures if it ever becomes possible to do so.

 
This should be the last update before Alpha 20. Apparently Alpha 20 has new options for modding so I might be able to add the designs as painting options. Otherwise, I'll try to make it work, but there is a major update to the way the blocks will be used in game. We'll see.

Meanwhile

* 1.7: More ammo crates
    - Added crates and half-crates for 9mm, arrow, magnum, and shell ammo
    - Added crates and half-crates for melee and range weapons

Code: 
I love the mod I used it for the A19 but now we're playing on the A20 and I miss the mod. I hope 
it comes for 
the A20 because I really 
miss it


 





Code: 
Maybe an extra box for treasure cards, quests, books, money, recipes, drinks. They were 
missing 
something

What sucks is, if I remember correctly you can paint on the boxes to make them what you want.

Now you can't paint them as they can only be used to write messages as to the contents inside.

I missed the paintability of how they used to be.

 
It's a multiblock.  Press R and choose a different shape, the writable shape is now default (as it should be, in my opinion), but the other shapes are still there.

 
@Daisuki, the mod still works with Alpha 20 without any need for update. There is a little weirdness with the order of the multiblock, but otherwise it works exactly as it used to. I'll see about adding new designs but books are already covered with the library and drinks with the fridge so I didn't think anyone would want them. As for money, I usually put mine in a safe. I'll see about adding them anyways.

@Rathlon, unfortunately, I don't think there are any ways yet to add new painting texture or paintable blocks to the game. That's way I had to use a multiblock for the new cube and half-cube container designs. Note however that if you destroy one of the new crates, it returns to your inventory. It's not as easy as painting but it does allow you to change the design without having to craft new crates.

@Ricowan, thanks for answering before I had the change :-). It's exactly like you said.

 
@Daisuki What do you mean, grab it from the server? You mean you used the download link in the first post? Are there any errors when you try to start a game hosted on your PC with the mod loaded?

 
Love the containers. any reason the items.xml doesnt add anything? from what I see its kinda empty?

It is. I have a template mod with empty blocks, items, recopies, and localisation. I didn't use it but I forgot to remove it. I'll clean up on the next release but it has absolutely no effect on anything.
