Revision 5

Storage Barrel is a placeable storage container in Windrose. An iron-banded oak barrel sized for ship supply rooms and warehouse rows. It opens a 28-slot inventory window, which any character with edit access to the base can deposit into or withdraw from.

In-Game Description

Allows you to store your belongings. Capacity: 28 slots.

How to Use

Place the container during base construction, then walk up and interact to open the inventory grid. Drag and drop items between the player inventory and the container slots, or use the standard sort and stack shortcuts. A loose chest can be picked up and re-placed without losing its contents, which makes reorganisation safe.

Attach a Label to mark the chest's intended contents. Labels are purely visual but make a wall of identical chests far easier to navigate.

A barrel placed inside the Bonfire radius also feeds nearby crafting. Stations within the same radius can draw materials straight from storage containers in range, so you do not have to carry ingredients to each bench by hand. Keeping bulk materials such as Wood and Nails in barrels near your workshops speeds up large build and craft jobs.

Decay

This container decays over time outside Bonfire range. Keep storage placed within the protective radius of a fueled Bonfire, or the structure will start losing health and eventually break, dropping its contents on the ground for any nearby player to scoop up.

Other Storage Containers

Several Storage share the same 28-slot capacity but differ in build cost, so pick whichever materials you have spare. Containers built without Nails save that resource for ship repair and upgrades.
