Bag Co.™ Bags

Description
This mod allows you to package items like dirt and sell it for a reasonable price. It's kinda rude to just dump dirt of the Terramart counter and ask for pixels. If you put that dirt in a bag, it's much more valuable for both of you.

This mod lets you do that, by adding 5 new items:
Sacks
Bag Co.™© Sacks
Packing Table
Bag Co.™® Packing Table.
Jars
and more to come in updates that will hopefully be done soon! (though have thus far been quite far appart so don't get too excited.)

Bag Co.™ is a company who's goal is to have a monopoly over packaging, buying up unbranded bags, sacks, jars, ect... and branding them. While many economists throughout the galaxy think this is dumb, and questionably legal, it is profitable.

"I started this company mostly as a joke but okay, let's keep going." - CEO. Cornelius Bagg.

Sacks can be crafted for 2 woven fabric at the spinning wheel, or the Bag Co.™©® variant can be purchased for 25 pixels at Terramart.

Sacks can then be filled at the Packing Table, craftable at the inventors table for 1 tungsten table + 1 tungsten bar, or the less expensive Bag Co.™©@® Packing Table, purchasable at Terramart 120 pixels. Sacks can hold 5 of an item that falls in 1 of 2 of the following categories of items I just made up:

Granular items
Ash pile / ash
Dry dirt / drydirt
Dry sand / drysand
Gravel / gravelmaterial
Moondust / moondust
Sand / sand2
Silt / sand

Stonen items
Blaststone / blaststone
Cobblestone / cobblestonematerial
Dire stone / direstone
Granite rock / rock14
I'd advise having a mod that lets you obtain granite so this one makes sense.
Limestone / limestone
Moonstone / moonstone
Sandstone / sandstonematerial
Stone rubble / stonerubble

...to create a bag of the chosen substance with a pixel value of 130. (26 pixels when sold for 20%, 25 pixel for the bag, 1/5 pixel for the bag contents)

(Right now they just use the default burlap sack icon/texture. I may make them have a unique texture in the future. Maybe have them stackable.)

Jars​ are craftable at the furnace for 3 glass. Like a bottle but bigger. Does nothing other than cosmetics right now. (I'm trying to get brain in a jar to be craftable but it's not working for some reason. The files are there though if you wanna try to fix it in the mean time.)

This really is nice :SBchicken: I guess now I can roleplay as the adventurer who on the side sells excavated building components for huge galactic construction projects.
"This sea planet ain't gonna terraform itself into a ground utopia without filling in some dirt; the Hyotl people down there ain't gonna like it to much though" - some contractor.

You open to taking suggestions? I'd second the idea of different colored sacks for different the types (Granular or Stonen). It's funny and cool you thought up a backstory like that for the mod. Love the effort. :SBHorse:

Hehe... big cool for creating this :) it could add some depth to my gameplay. Thanks bunch :SBpenguin:

Yes :steamhappy: ,it could even be of a diferent color, perhaps blue like the fabric?

That seems like a great idea, perhaps a comically large burlap sack made at the sewing machine.

I love this idea, would you consider making a bag tipe to hold 1000 of an item instead of 5 so that when i sell it i can get more pixels for it?
