Hello I'm trying to make a custom container, but whenever I add the objectType to it, it causes the game to crash on interaction with the error Improper conversion to int from null. It doesn't tell me what line number, and I've ran both my object code and the frames code through JSON Lint and there are no errors. I'm using the stone furnace config as a test interface. Please help me. [16:007.281] [Info] Root: Preparing Root... [16:007.281] [Info] Root: Done preparing Root.

The old stone furnace interface isn't used nor supported anymore. There really isn't any reason for it to be in the assets anymore. As far as working as a container, start with this example vanilla container and edit as needed.

The solution will require plenty of LUA scripting. You will need to build an entire crafting system from scratch (bypassing the vanilla system). Doing just that is technically on my "to do list" but I've been totally demotivated for a while. Although I'm messing with Starbound somewhat today so I might possibly get back on that. Maybe.
Wow thank you for the super fast reply, I'll try this as soon as I get back to my pc. I've already got a basic automation lua script ready to go. I just need the container and the interface, and if your solution works all I'll have left to worry about is making an interface. Unfortunately not much documentation for making a custom interface but I can have so fun figuring it out. Anyways thank you so much.
Interface wise - you'll have to spend a lot of time staring at vanilla interfaces. You can probably see from objects that parts of the interface can be added/replaced/etc via objects. That works well with more generic interfaces, with the details filled in by the object. But you can go further. You can build your interface itself in LUA and pass that along to the engine. An example would be the Tabula Rasa mod. Or you can do something more minor and modify specific things about it via LUA. You can also pass custom recipes - IIRC Frog's Furnishings does this.
Update: Turns out frameCooldown and autoClosecooldown are both necessary for a container. Thanks again @bk3k
