Ejection Container Sorry for my English, isn't my first language; I've tried my best! My suggestion is: Create a container, gathering the resources and build it one (It's not a common item, that you receive on the beginning of your adventure), that have 32 space. This container is like a rocket, what you can carry anywhere with you. When your inventory is full and you want to dispatch some items to your ship, but you don't want to leave the planet yet, so you can use this Ejection Container. You put it on the ground and press the "Action" button (E), where you can put all the items that you want and then you put some fuel on it and dispatch him to your ship, without you needing to go there. When you go to your ship, you will see the rocket in a support outside the ship, but is visible and you can pick him up anytime you want. All the items will be in there. For more information, here a list: You can have any Ejection Containers you want, but your ship can hold 5 at once. You can't have the containers back if you not visit your ship and pick them up. The fuel for the container can be wood and coal. You can put pixels on the container too, if the Devs implement this feature in game. The Ejection Containers can only depart to the ship if the player is on the surface (Floor) or have a space in the background (Like when you are able to teleport to your ship). The player can launch 5 containers at once too, if he wants to. The style of the container will be similar to your ship, having different colors and diameters. Maybe will have a badass container, that can carry 64 items (Dunno). Is a simple idea, but sometimes when you are so busy exploring a cave and your inventory is full, you don't want to teleport to your ship to put the items on there and return to the planet where you will need to find again the cave so you can continue your adventure. Is more viable create a hole in the background and send the containers to your ship to you, later, organize everything with calm and peace on mind.
But if you have to be on the surface to launch the container anyway, you might as well just teleport to your ship.
The "surface", maybe I put it wrong, is the floor. I will write that better, thx. And, by the way, you can dig a hole in the background, and sent the container where you are. Is more usefull then that
i actually find this a good idea What if you are all the way to the other side of the planet looting villages? that's what i find most annoying, you inventory can't handle every furniture and you have to do multiple trips. Having this you could send half your stuff and loot the remaining stuff before going back to the ship. But still i think it should have limitations, for example only work in the surface, and you only have one (and one landing site for it in the ship) when you send it back it lands there waiting for you to pick it up.
But yeah, will have some limitations. Maybe 2 or 3 spaces in the ship, and you can upgrade this buying new slots... Dunno, I think the improvement of your quality on gather resources is this: gather resources. If you have enough, you can improve them up 'cause you earned. Will have some limitations, but only if the player wants to.
