What is the Asset Browser?

The Asset Browser serves as a temporary storage for your market activities. It gets all bought, expired and received items from sell (request) orders. It is required to collect assets in such a storage since it is not at al times the case that players e. g. buy items that do actually fit into their inventory.

Therefore the Asset Browser provides a secure place for your market assets. And it provides additional features for convenience.
How to get a Manifest Item

Simply click that UI element and it will give you a Manifest Item into your inventory. Those Manifest Items can be put into dinos or other storage structures. If e. g. a dino or a storage structure is nearby a NPC Structure that has assets, it can be used to distribute those items into the inventories that have a Manifest Item. Nearby in that case means in a range of 1k (about 3.3 foundations).
Deliver or use Manifest for Asset retrieval

You can either use a Manifest Item to retrieve an Asset into an inventory with such a Manifest item in it at the remote location (does only work on the same server). Or you could let the system deliver it to you for a delivery fee that depends on weight and distance. Dinos can only be delivered to other Dino Trader Trade Actor Types.

An admin can limit item retrievals with blacklist game.ini settings. Assets within a range of 1000 get delivered for free, this simulates close market proximity, so that players don't have to visit every NPCStructure that hold their assets...
Dino asset retrieval

To retrieve a dino asset you'll need to visit a Dino Trader. If the linked Dino Garage is not the one that has the dino stored and you want to deliver it, it will pull the dino information and spawn it at your current location. This remote dino spawning does also work cross server, but does not restore things like fertility timer... Admins should consider this, if they want to blacklist dinos on certain servers.
