@Gloomy! Thanks for your comment, it means a lot :) . I will update for 42 when stable multiplayer is released.

MOD IS MUST NEED, i hate having rows and rows of boxes, and you is the best and only mod like it and balanced. If you can please update it for build 42

B42?

@KatGirl_M, there is now way to make the storage-o-matic cool or freeze. You can try what Ehhhhh said on 4th December.

@DarkFaceGlow, you have to craft the component case yourself! They are in the crafting menu, in the storage-o-matic tab.

Where are the Components Cases????

LOVE this mod so far, I was wondering if there is a way to make the storage like a fridge or freezer? Would be amazing to have more food storage to keep food fresh.

B42 plz

Love this mod. Pairs so well with Nested Containers. I put my system storage in my freezer... keeps all my food frozen; and with nested containers, i can just click it without taking it out of the freezer. Easy storage.

i needed this my entire life thank you my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@DarkFaceGlow you have to craft the cases if i remember correctly. (under the M menu)

Where do you find component cases? SHEESH!!!

NO WAY A MINECRAFT STORAGE MOD

One easy way to make it less op for people who think the spawn rate is too high is to simply NOT loot all the cards you get. Just dont take so many of them problem solved.

Should be great if was a furniture and not item.
Currently player can place lot of item on the same title :(

the only thing i dislike about this mod is that 100 MB is locked behind electrical lv. 5 while 1000 MB is locked behind lv. 7, grinding electrical sucks :(

What do you mean? Why would this be a backpack? It cannot be equipped on your back, and it does not have weight reduction.

is it a placeable container or does it just act as a backpack?

You will have to go to an unexplored area, or turn loot respawn on.

Can't seem to find memory cards in multiplayer world we added this to, do we need to venture to new chunks/towns in order to find? or should they be found anywhere?

The Storage-o-Matic does not cool/freeze/keep food from going bad. Right now this is a 3D item, and i think it is not possible to connect them to power grid, or add cooling properties to it, like furniture.

Can you make one for food? thats for a fridge/freezer. Or does this one already stop stuff from going bad

Me and a friend have tested this mod a lot and found that this is a nice spawnrate. If some people say they are too abundant, and some say they are too scarce, then it must be somewhere in the middle.

You can change the rarity of 'other' loot in sandbox options, however, this will affect all loot that is not otherwise categorized. By the time you have Electrical and Metalwork skill high enough to build a tier 3 or 4 Storage-O-Matic, you will probably have a bunch of cards anyway.

If you want to find a lot of cards, loot schools, offices, and book stores. Desks and bookcases specifically.

IMO the spawn rate is too high.
I started trailer park at riverside, cleared that out, cleared out the secretz checkpoint on the way to riverside, and cleared out the far left neighborhood in riverside and have 21 cards. I suspect by the time I clear out the entirety of riverside I'll have 32+, which lets you build the 100MB - 4000 storage unit.
For full clearing one entire town, that seems a little OP to me. If I had more fine-grained control over the memory card spawn rate, I would drop it down to 25% of the current rate.
Clearing out riverside for a 1MB - 250 storage module seems more in-line with the pacing I want in my game.

Doesn't seem like memory cards are in large quantity either, I'm running into no more room with 4 machines but can't find enough cards to build another bigger one, I find like 1 card in every other house ish, any sugguestions on where to get them in bulk? or maybe a way to craft them from more common things like video games?

Just started a new game after not playing for a awhile and tried out this mod, it's amazing and I don't feel it's that over powered given how hard it is to make and it just simply gives you a place to put stuff :) which is amazing :) thanks for this awesome mod

You have to find the memory cards

i need help with the memory cards because i don't know how to get them

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, it means a lot to me :)

oh man, this might be "overpowered" but god, its so annoying fighting the ui constantly with containers

This mod is awesome, thanks

Forget about that last message. If any of you have trouble crafting with electric wire or radio transmitter/receiver, please use the addon in the description above. It should work with other mods that override vanilla items, tested with 'the workshop' and building material weight reduction.

@Pebble, it is probably the mod loading order. If i think about it, you want to override stuff first, and then load Storage-O-Matic. I have always had Storage-O-Matic last in the line of mods in the servername.ini file. So setup your server/host ingame and then open the file in file explorer, and move Storage-O-Matic to the end. Please let me know if that works.

im having the same problems as @SirPheonixBlood. maybe its a mod called The Workshop? could you try and troubleshoot that?

While this mod is in fact not realistic at all it's quite a grind to get functional and it gives all locations extra value in the form of the memory card spawns.

If combined with the RV interiors mod it solves the issue of storage perfectly, highly recommended for those mid-long term nomad runs.

You should totally add a testing/beta release branch of that mod then, you maybe surprised on the helpful feedback/resources that could be provided back =)

@Ryuu, yes, sure it is possible. I already have a small project with some crates and cabinets, i just need to find some time to polish it and make it ready for the workshop! :)

Is there any way you could make another mod like this that uses other models like crates and other objects? The idea here is amazing, so maybe you could make a "crate upgrade" mod with this mod as a foundation

@SirPhoenixBlood, i just tested in a game with only Storage-O-Matic 3000 and Building material weight reduction mods, and there are no problems crafting a data transmitter or receiver. The problem must be something else for you.

@LCyclic, this is the game checking for crafting recipes when you move in range of containers. The same as when you walk into a kitchen where a lot of food is stored and suddenly you have many cooking recipes available. It gets worse when you have a lot of big crafting mods like hydrocraft or ammocrafting. I also found that the game does not like big stacks of items, like 1500 bullet casings, or hundreds/thousands of unpacked screws and nails. Try packing stuff in boxes/pallets if you have that option.

When I walk next to the storage there is a minilag that is quite annoying, does it happen to anyone? And if so, do you know how to fix it? I have a storage of 1000 storage and it has almost 300kg of items, I was thinking that maybe it's because of the number of items it loads at the same time but I don't know if that's why.

@ SirPhoenixBlood, allright, i will make a mod compatibility addon with some recipes for parts overridden by other mods. It will be ready somewhere in the next few days.

your mod does not work with a mod called building material weight reduction it replaces the radio receiver item because of this i cant craft any of the data receiver/transmitter

@dappster09, you can find the storage-o-matic and all components needed to craft it, in the crafting menu under 'Storage-O-Matic' tab. If that is what you mean.

uhm... where the hell do I get this shit?

@dajosh42069, if you keep a copy of the mod in your mod folder, and not use the workshop version you can edit the script yourself. Change for example the storage capacity, or recipes. The Storage-O-Matics built before the update will keep their old inventory size, only new built ones will have the new capacity.

@Space is alive, i have thought about that too, and i looked in the properties of cars, which have multiple inventories. This would probably be possible, but they will be predefined then, and cannot be changed by the player. They should not have specific names then, but something like partition 1, 2 and so on.

I will prepare a discord channel for anyone who is interested in sharing ideas, and talk about this mod, or zomboid in general.

If you're having trouble trying to make seperate categories, how about just make it so that the storage-o-matic is actually multiple containers when you walk up to it. and the containers are just named something like weapons/clothing/ammo/ so you just scroll down them in your inventory simular to what it would look like when you go into a warehouse, and there's a bunch of boxes containers in your inventory view.

Ooohhh... I see you updated it a bit, eh?
But...my..my dream of having 200,000 storage..! How will I ever fit every item in the entire game all into a single storage location??!? :P

I'm far from my primary main base, and currently setting up a reliable safe house in another town.. so I haven't checked it in a little while. But when I'd last saw it, it still had 20,000. Will the changes apply retroactively? Like... when I get home, will it suddenly be at 4,000 capacity? Or is it going to remain at 20k? I don't know enough about PZ's framework or systems to say if those sorts of changes get pushed, even into saved games, or if it's just: Every Storage-O-Matic I build after the update will have the lower capacity, but the already built ones will maintain their higher capacity?

@Dajosh42069, yes. It would be ideal if the owner could setup partitions and name them, and then view the contents of a partition via some tabs menu. We will try to make something like this possible in a future update.

About what to do with so much space, in our game use the large computer for crafting workshop/car garage, and use smaller versions in the armory, kitchen, medical room etc....

(If you have 20000 storage in a tier 3 storage-o-matic, then you are running an old version and not the latest workshop version)

-- Sort of like a "New Folder" on a computer.
Because it's really difficult to want to store building materials along side your tailoring materials, along side all of your bladed weapons, along side all of your guns and ammo, ya know?
If it's not possible, I completely understand. I certainly don't know how to mod, so... I'm already really grateful to those who DO know how, and whom are willing to spend their time making incredible mods for all of us to use in our games. :)
