We do very much want to do this. We debated making checkers pieces chip-able and letting them take several hundred stone so you could store various stones in checkers pieces around your base. As well as several other funny little gimmicks. In the end we decided it was better to do it right and implement the ability to mass-store various equipment via buildings with that purpose.

In the interim, the only nice thing you are getting to offset this is a tad bit more storage in your cupboards.

Do you intend to release a better storage option along with this?

Given the mill 400 stone requirement, for example, it'd be more challenging to have enough boxes to deal with it than to actually gather the materials.



You shouldn't need to store all your mats before building. If you build all the materials into the buildings they will not decay. This is only to counteract the players who simply load materials into their buildings with no intention of actually using them, just as a way to get out of making storage for items in general.

Mine sheds? You mean the ability to put sheds in mines?

I guess it's better that they didn't choose to spare you all that work by not giving any warning xD

Yes either that which would be the easiest or have specialized miner sheds.

surprise, surprise

if anything, it's a stopgap to the next update which will fix altvaults somehow. Given that you gave us warnings for this stuff, I assume that will not yet happen next weekend and that will give me some time to grind storage :roll:

Damn it... Well... guess I'll have to sell my stuff or something, as I can't really have any storage in Boston that can't be nuked u_u
