Crate
Basic Storage adds a new block, the Crate. It can hold up to 1 billion items of a single
type. Items can be quickly deposited and withdrawn by:
- directly interacting with crates (no GUI)
- Right Click inserts one item
- Shift Right Click inserts all matching items from your inventory
- Left Click takes out one item
- Shift Left Click takes out a single stack of items
- using hoppers/hopper carts
- using third party mods (e.g. AE2, RS, Tom's Storage, Copper Pipes)
Crate Station
The crate station functions as a quick-insert hub for a network of crates.Any crates connected directly to the crate station or via crate connectors or other crates are part of the same network.
Interacting with the crate station is similar to crates:
- Right Click inserts the entire stack of what you're holding into a compatible crate
- Shift Right Click inserts all items from your inventory which match crates in the network.
Use Case
Imagine you have a crate wall for materials such as stone, dirt, gravel and raw ore.You've just been on a mining trip and your inventory is full of these items.
Simply shift right click on the Crate Station and your inventory will be freed up super quick, with every item in the right place!
Recipes
While resources to make crates are available at the very start of the game, a crate station is slightly harder. This is to encourage players to use crates however they see fit in the early game, and then adapt their storage systems to work on a larger scale later in the game if they wish.
Transporting Crates
Crates are fantastic for keeping your storage organized and accessible, but what if you need to move that storage?Dynamic Item Models
Crates can easily be broken with an axe. Once you've broken a crate with items in and picked it up you'll notice that it looks different.
Crates with items in them will show the item it contains on both the item model itself, and in the
crate's tooltip. The number of items in the crate can be found in the tooltip too.
