Magic Storage Box (Linked Storage) - Out of Date

MOD ID 1787324286


Warning: I've seen people mentioning that this mod is having problems on their servers. While I originally intended to support it fully, I've completely lost interest in it. If I find the time, I may update it and spend sometime working on it. Sorry.


If you enjoy this mod, please rate it.



How it Works:

The magic storage chest is a synchronized storage container that allows for access to a common item pool anywhere on a map. It is a general inventory and holds any item. Works with stacking mods.

• Multi-Channel: Boxes of a certain channel are linked (currently 3 channels).
  
• Color Changing: Boxes will change color to signify the currently selected channel.
  
• Adjustable number of slots
  
• BlackList items so they cannot be placed in the container. If a BlackListed item is put in the container, it is automatically dropped onto the ground.
  
• Dupe Proof
  
• Boxes Destroyed by a tribe member does not drop contents unless it is the last of it's channel.
  
• If the box is the last on it's channel and the channel is changed, the items are dropped.
  
• Boxes are private across tribes (not individual owners).
  
• If you join another tribe, the contents of your boxes will be overwritten with the tribes.
  
• For PvP, if an enemy breaks your magic box, all contents for the channel are dropped regardless of number of boxes left.

Default Crafting Requirements:

See Crafting/Engram Overrides Section Below on How-To Adjust these.

• Available as Learnable Engram at Level 1 and Costs 0 Engram Points
  
• Cost 1 Wood to Craft
  
• Craftable inside inventory
  
• Requires no fuel or power to operate

Known Issues:

• Folders do not replicate across boxes
  
• The default action for the box is setting it to Channel 1 therefore [E] does not access inventory, you must press [F] instead.
  
• Another player viewer a remote linked chest will see items replicate/duplicate until they close are reopen the box. This is a graphical issue only and duping cannot occur.

Future Plans:

• Whitelist - Make it easier to define the items that CAN be put in this storage
  
• Add configurable limit on number of boxes per channel via INI.
  
• Add configurable number of channels via INI.
