New Containers for Organizing
Suggestions Thread
I don't know if you want a designated suggestions area, but if I come up with an idea I'll throw it here and try to describe it best I can, and to minimize my comment count of ideas

+ [Shoe boxes] - Generic colors just for those of use hoarders who collect everything
a (better looking) first aid kit - personally I hate the base game green First Aid Kits
(I think everyone knows how a shoe box looks)

+ [Tupper ware containers] (To store cooked food in and put in the fridge) - to store leftovers, they're clear-ish containers with usually clear-ish red lids and sometimes blue and green lids

+ [Ziploc bags] (idk how to pull that one off other than generic items inside it for a model) - a clear small bag for storing things in to keep them safe from the elements
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.5iggp-zgkDfoY8c_-sXIxwHaHa?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

- [A coat Rack] - just a post to store your jacket on, even a poncho to keep it tidy at the door
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.7lmtJ8fmO-59zNx5MRdMPQHaHa?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

- [A shoe shelf] - to put beside your door for those muddy boots,
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.Kmy5qXzQG6-oo8p2ifNyIQHaHa?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

- [a fake rock] - For a house key , idk why, just an idea
(it's a small rock, doesn't need a picture imo)

- [Bread Box] - Much like the spice rack, but for Bread
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.RaCO13KZPVWFeWcHRsEYcwHaHa?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

- [An air tight container] - usually for like hiking,boating,fishing so your phone and stuff doesn't fall in the water and get ruined (https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1UaQXXOHrK1Rjy0Flq6AsaFXaz/Waterproof-Shockproof-Box-Phone-Electronic-Gadgets-Airtight-Survival-Outdoor-Case-Container-Storage-Carry-Box-With-Foam.jpg)

- [A big plastic tub] - I have no clue what they are called tbh, but they're just big ol plastic tubs you can buy at like Dollar General, Walmart, usually people stuff their christmas lights in them
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.4fa2e19277fd9048b16d78efcdc114d0?rik=3ycoBugRxuQexQ&pid=ImgRaw&r=0)

- [General plastic containers for home use] - like the ones you put screws,circuits,wires, stuff like that (https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.JWkUZEOK-gQHg3lhZsQBnQHaFj?pid=ImgDet&rs=1)

Turns out my Bing searches are blocked (The images of the items listed) so I guess you'll have to google/bing it yourself if you don't know what it is, sorry.

Some great ideas! Trying to steer clear of "furniture," but I think a shoe/coat rack might be okay. The bummer is they won't change to represent items inside.

Plastic totes is what they're normally called. The car crate is one of those, but maybe I'll make some different colors for house spawning.

Will definitely add some of these to my list.

How about the option to make the car crates stack atop each other?
A stack of logs, not furniture, but a placeable moveable wood stack that has a high capacity so we can store several logs in them. Like you'd see beside a fireplace, or outside by a tree stump.

I hate storing logs on the ground, and in boxes is just lame imo.

Unfortunately, 3D objects don't work like that in PZ.

I have plans for a kindling box, and some kind of firewood basket (one of those metal ones).

while i personaly, LOVE! all the extra storage, perhaps there might be a 'lite' version?
maybe just the original items that you first made, for those that only want just those?

(if it was up to me, i would have a HOARDERS edition that was also seperate, but had things like each of the vanilla canned foods, glasses, alcohol bottles ect, with a huge storage capacity. reason being? i love to have things organised, so i would decorate AND store at the same time.
with something like that, i would not need to store canned foods and booze inside shelves, just place your containers ON the shelves, then fill each container. decor AND visual storage! would work fantasticaly with the fake foods mod i was kindly created, for making visual story's too)

First thank you so much for the mod, it is one of my favorites! If you are still taking suggestions a CD case would be awesome. Could even make a small version and a binder version.

More containers with different sizes to collect water from the rain would be nice.

how bout a dog crate or cat kennel, it would add some realism and make it seem like the character is more desparate for containers, using anything that can keep there stuff in check.
