Item-Storage Management/ Needs Improvement

So with the update a few hours before this post, I see storage inventories have been shuffled around a bit.

Laboratory Lockers (those white boxes in Apex labs) used to be 16 spaces, nerfed to 9 - RIP
Cool Cupboard (again usually in Apex labs) were 24 spaces, now 32
Lunar Base Lockers were 24 spaces, buffed to 48 - !!!!
Outpost Lockers were 60 spaces, nerfed to 48
Chests and all their variants are still 16 spaces

That's all I notice thus far. Anyone see other things changed around?

Also I wonder what happened to the items stuck in containers after they got nerfed? I tend to be the sort who fills them up to capacity, but I'm glad that this time I didn't stuff all mine with items....

 

Large Chests are still all 24. Thankfully.
I, personally, would like to see Fridges become a storage item. The fact they aren't bugs me. I want to store my food in there.

 

Mining Chests are 24 now, too.
And fridges are storage items, both outpost fridges and normal ones. 24 places, too.

 

Well, looks like I'll be needing to redo some storage shuffling, most of my ship's stuff at the moment reside in the Apex Lab Lockers, they were my life-line because of how little space they take up and being stackable.

 

Glitch Dresser 24 -> 16
Glitch Cabinet 16 -> 24
Large Wooden Crate (The Glitch) untouched
Wooden Crate 9 -> 16

 

The Starbounder wiki said they weren't. So I guess they just need to update that.

 

Here's one that hurt me the most. Those Small Prison Lockers, found on penal colonies that had 60 slots for a stackable object that was 4x5 blocks, were nerfed to 32 slots. I put a lot of valuables in them since it was much easier to sort one 60-slot locker than five 16-slot Apex Lab Lockers. They were all thrown out and I wasn't quick enough to save the items before they were deleted.

 

so basicly i will lose most of my rare to find hats....great im done with this game

 

It would have been a good idea to announce the change of storagespaces a few days or a week ago, so players would have had time to rearange their valuables. I've been lucky, I've managed to save everything, but others apparently could not.

 

Huge Primitive Chest 60 -> 40

 

why did you guys reduced the space in the laboratory lockers?

this game has already the issue that spacemanagment and space in
crates is not really good and need a rework,
(more about that later in a extra thread)
but here you cripple down one of the more usefull items to store things.

there is no reason to do that so please revert that back.
i am sure that i am not alone with this request.

 

There was a clear reason to do so, it wasent balances in regards of other storage allternatives. As a result there was no reason whatsoever to use any other storage.

Off course it could still be argued that they could increase the storage of all containers, thus making it balanced between different containers, making them all usefull.

But in my humble opinion we dont realy need more space with the new space ship upgrades. The current amount seems sufficent.

 

There was no reason at all to do so, it was a simple preference. A regular chest sitting on a wooden/whatever platform takes up exactly the same amount of space. The laboratory lockers have always been 16, I quit playing waiting on my ship upgrades without mods and when the update finally comes my storage of choice gets reduced. Not a cool move at all. Please fix it as I far prefer using the laboratory lockers neatly stacked after hunting them down to placing platforms everywhere and putting chests on them.

 

a normal chest has still 16 slots while the locker has now 9. that doesnt seem balanced.
as you said, when they want to balance the other creates they could give them more space.
they actually did that with the wood crate. it had just 9 and got now more...thats something
no one will complain about
even when it still should have more since its bigger then a chest...but thats no complain just
a observation

adding space would benefit everyone no matter if you dont need it or not. cripple it down will
just make some people "sad/angry/mad/nothappy/ect.
i havent upgraded the ship to its final size so i dont know how big it will be at the end but i for
myself collected back then a lot of stuff so i need as much space as i can get.

thx for the post...i hope that when some more people will voice theire concern they revert it back.

 

A locker is much smaller =_= It's not going to be reverted back

 

the current item/storage system need improvement.
i know its still a ea game but since things hasnt changed
since the last stable update i want to bring this up.

right now your just able to open one storage container
and you can just move one item from it to your own inventory.

the moment you start to collect a lot of stuff and want to
sort it it you will have to spend a lot of time to do so.

things i would like to see being implemented to help

no1:
being able to open several storages at once (all in your radius)
so that your able to move items from storage to storage instead
to first put it in your own inventory like you have to do right now.

Darkout (similar sandbox like game) does that and it helps a lot
when you want to move your stuff.

no2:
being able to move several items at once.
i think that doesnt need a great explanation, instead
to move things one by one, being able to move
several items would save us a lot of time in the long run.


no3: storage space.
it would be great when you can increase the number of storage slots
on each version so that we dont have to use so many crates ect.

and since we are in space/future, how about a hightech storage
which you might be able to build later ingame.
unlimited or very high (2-300) number of slots with different categorys
kind of like the build system with a search function.

 

much smaller then a chest? i dont think so...
why would you be against a buff of all other storages?

 

The lockers can be stacked on top of one another, as well as placed very close to each other, resulting in what is basically a giant wall of storage containers. The inventory size of the laboratory lockers was probably reduced because so many can fit in such a small space, that there would be virtually no reason to use any other container.

 

and that was a good thing.

then instead to nerv it they could buff the others.
as i mentioned they did it on the normal crates too.
they have now more space then before but still as much as a normal chest
which is just 4blocks large in comparison to its 6.

 

IT was unbalanced.
