What do yall use for storing your crap back at base?
Standard Secure Wooden Chests were the go-to for a long time... but they're kinda boring.
They all look the same, the wood look is kinda out of place in a lot of bases, and they don't hold a huge amount.
Storage crates are the next step up. Takes nails to build, listed in crafting as 'wooden furniture/containers' and can be reshaped like wood frames to give you many different shapes.
Most of the shapes are more-or-less useless, because they have rubbish storage capacity, but the crates are nice, have tons of space and can be painted with plenty of designs.
Sure, you can make a gun-crate, a medical-crate and a food-crate, or you could paint a crate like a beer-cabinet or an oven. Because it's a 1x1 cube, it can be painted to look like pretty much any other block. A sink, a big chunky pillbox
They even stack, which is nice.
Hmm I wonder if I could use two to make a standing fridge?
Anyway,
I thought to myself "If the wooden furniture blocks can do all this, I wonder what the metal ones can turn into?"
Well, that was a disappointment. You can make lockers, but they don't have much storage space in them at all, which is a shame. I would have liked to make a locker and store guns in it, or suchlike.
Most of the other stuff just seemed like junk.
There's also that green drawer that you can embed into walls, but it makes an annoying noise every time you use it.
The safe and gunsafe exist too, but IIRC those are a bit small, given how many resources they take to build.
So... what do other people use to store stuff? Ya'll got anything interesting or are you a bunch of boring Secure Storage Chest users?
