Is it safe to keep my stuff on a planet?

    Is this safe to do, or will I just lose all of my stuff at the next update if try wipe worlds again?

    Since it is in beta, just don't care much about items and stuff because they will dissapear sooner or later when they do another wipe.

    Meanwhile of course you can make a house or whatever and fill it with your stuff but remember to write the planet coords or set as your home planet :)

    There are potential world wipes.

    And... massive shit-wrecking meteors.

    Best bet is to keep it all on the ship.

    Hmm...need more storage space on a ship. I mean, you can stack boxes on top of each other, but there are only so many pixels for the floor.

    You could install the Ship Customization mod. Lets you make your ship block by block, as big as you want.

    I would not suggest boxes or things that stack on top of each other. My friend accidently used the wrong tool(accidental press with drill) and it cause their ship to flood with items. I personally would suggest getting cabinets. I found an Avian village with some of these and then I cat'd them for mass production later on. They are far better because they can just stick on walls and don't need any support from below. They also take up the same space as small crates and provide just as much storage.

    I would recommend Laboratory Lockers. They're small, provide 16 slots, and can stack.

    I honestly could never use those cause I'm afraid of accidently drilling or do something that would cause an avalanche of items. If there was a 2x2 that would stick to the wall instead of being a ground item, I would more than beyond happy.

    I use Lab Lockers because they look good but NexasXellerk is right, if the bottom cabinet of a stack goes they all go and all your stuff is everywhere!

    Thanks so much guys, I'll probably use the lockers cause they take up almost no space

    Jesus christ, I'm glad I was never allowed to watch TV when I was a kid.
    God only knows how I would have turned out if I had access to this kind of thing.

    A false sense of safety around criminals only for reality to beat you almost to death over 10 bucks, and for annoying the criminals by repeating crimers no criming?

    That's signature quote worthy, if only for the "crimers no criming" part.
    Kudos.

    I don't even know, I just have a feeling something like that would leave me deficient in the intelligence department.

    From my understanding Planet wipes are in the future.

    I currently use;
    -Mass effect MOD (you get the Normandy SR1 as as hip, plenty of space for stoarge)


    I also have a home base for certain aspects, like a tree farm and such.

    But I recomend a Ship mod, for more Space.

    I have not had trouble with any stoarge containers as other people have stated.

    I personally like the Cool cabinets found in Apex labs and such.

    Hi! Look...
    if I modify my ship and add extra space for larger ship...other players will see these changes? or all of it will look like buggy?

    Single player: It should be safe, make a note as to where you planet's coordinates are.

    Multiplayer, you'll have to get a little creative or work with a clan if you want something like a base to stay safe. I heard server controls were being suggested.
