Thanks a lot

Hmmm... the default storage was changed and I didn't realised it. When I checked the addon with A20.0, that was not the case and I missed that change.

I'll put this on my todo list of things to fix. Expect a new version soonish.

I have read all topics a searched on the net and i just can't get it !
"Wood Furniture" doesn't tell me what to do to get the storages to work 😕

Thanks for that. Meanwhile, like @EddCase mentioned, you can use Wood Furniture and you'll get the new storages. 

 
I also think that what is obvious to me might not be for all 7 Days players. I'll come up with better instruction in the upcoming weeks.

Here's the Cliffs Notes:

You open your inventory and in the left section you search for Storage Boxes. This will find the recipe to build a Variant Helper block that will allow you to chose any of the containers before you place it. Once placed, if you change your mind, you can destroy the storage container and it will go back into your inventory as a Variant Block so you will be able to change the design before placing it back in.

@Sir-Aza I hope the instruction this is a bit clearer. You can forget about Wood Furniture since the Storage Containers now have their own Variant block named Storage Boxes.

Like @MikeyUK said, once the storage is equip on your tool bar, you press down R until a circular menu appears. One of the options in the menu will allow you to choose the Container design you want.

Beat mod ever. Hands down. For some reason it’s stopped working though, I’m devastated. I’ve stuck with Alpha 20.0 because it didn’t seem to work with 20.1 and this mod is more important than new game features. All my containers are still there, I just don’t have the option to add new ones (except for the awfully limited selection offered by FP). I’ve tried updating, went back to 20.0, reinstalled mod, nothing worked. 
merit:so, use storage containers now, not wooden furniture? This has made my day.

Yea, the new version use Storage Containers since the old wooden furniture didn't include the vanilla storage box. I had to create a new Storage Boxes item. The boxes themselves should not have stopped working, but if you destroy them, it's a Storage Boxes item that will be put in your inventory rather then the Wooden Furniture item.

Hopefully everything works now with Alpha 20.3. If you still  have issues, let me know and I'm glad you like the mod :-).

Hey there, hopefully you're still active!! This mod doesn't seem to work with Quick Stack I'm hoping you might be able to give me some guidance on how I could fix it, or if you could. It seems to do with the properties of the new boxes and not being recognized as storage crates... Any ideas?

Thanks and I love your mod!

More container was updated for A21. I just forgot to post here about it. I fix that.

I agree, we need more shapes and icon designs for containers.

I don't understand why TFP coded it so this is so difficult.

I haven't checked the mod improvement for Alpha 21, but the problem is that, as far as I know, it's not possible to add a new pain texture to the game and it is also not possible to mod in  a paintable shape.

Each variant of the containers is a separate Unity with its own texture. This makes adding new icons quite a bit tedious.

That being said, if you have some requests, I'll see if I can remember how to use Gimp and Unity to add new ones.
