Better Storage System
Streamline Your Storage
v1.2.0
Description
Ever get frustrated with not knowing where things are in similar looking storages? Annoyed with having to build multiple of the same storages due to not having enough space to store items in? Well I know I sure did thus this mod was born to help alleviate some of the annoyances and micro-management throughout all stages of the game. Now you can have tiny storages just enough for your production chains, massive ones for stockpiles, and anything in-between!
Over 200 hours have gone into carefully balancing each and every storage from the ground up; resource costs, build time, stack capacity, and of course plenty of QA to ensure everything is working as intended. The result? A (hopefully) better storage system to cater to all your storage needs!
This mod completely overhauls the entire storage system by providing multiple tiers of storages that increase storage capacity as you research higher tiers, as well as including storages for items that didn't previously have dedicated storages. It also categorises and alphabetically sorts storage names in the build menu making it easy to find what you're looking for. All tier 1 storages have been incorporated into existing research where they made sense.
It does not conflict with any other mod as ALL storages are brand new. Your existing storages will be kept as-is and untouched.
Please see LOGS -> Changelogs tab for a full list of changes.
Features include:
- Colour-coded storages to easily differentiate similar storages.
- Storages names categorised and alphabetised for your convenience.
- Storage space increased up to 22x24 tiles at max tier for non-item-specific storages!
- New storages for items that didn't have dedicated storages. 50 different storages now!
- Stack sizes increased from 100 all the way to 50,000 based on tier, for all your loot goblin needs!
- Less restrictions on storage placement! Place them inside or outside, the choice is completely yours!
- Reworked collisions for the majority of storages to be able to place storages closer together and even stack them!

- Why are my people not storing resources?
- Check that you have free space and that they can actually reach the storage.

- Why are people running to/from storages instead of working on machines?
- Try not to use a backpack that allows for large stacking, it will force the AI to take more resources than they need, and if you have someone hauling to their primary resource input storage they will seek an alternative storage to drop off the excess at. Also do not use the Auto Haul job unless you specifically intend to and know what you are doing; jobs on various machines will automatically have the AI take/store resources as needed.

- Why were skeleton repair kits removed from robotics storage?
- If a character has an item in their inventory/backpack that has no function (like many of the items in the robotics storage such as gears/motors) then all items (including the skeleton repair kits) will also be stored causing an unwanted side-effect for characters you want repair kits on.
