Igoooor Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) The main idea is to add an advanced version of the medium storage. Effects: - the storage has a panel that allows to set an item filter to limit the resources it accepts (e.g. "resin", "soil canisters", "smeltable resources") - if an item is pushed into storage (e.g. soil centrifuge finished producing) the corresponding filter storage has a higher priority of getting the item (but still lower than a printer) - add the icon logo of the filtered resource to the storage ? I don't know if the player should be able to manually add other resources... Cost: - some "advanced" resources instead of resin (e.g. plastic) - or a global upgrade (see my research idea topic) Uses: - force production facilities to store things in a sorted way - more possible additional functions... Additional function ideas: - add a button to pull the filtered resources from local storage (like a printer) -> get all resin from mining trailer into sorted storage - add a button to pull the filteres resources from player backpack -> put all manually harvested resin into sorted storage - add a button to push all stored resources into local storage -> pull from one place, store at another place - allow the filter to be set to production recipes (e.g. all resources to craft a research chamber) -> get all the resources needed for the new base one building after another (pull from large storage, push into shuttle) - allow the "pull resource from storage"-button to make the chemical lab/soil centrifuge craft the missing requested resources -> more automation Edited February 23, 2019 by Igoooor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redstonerti Posted February 23, 2019 +1 very nice. I like it a lot. I wish they would add some automation. Apparently they don't care about automation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lost.ninja Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Forcing production facilities to prefer storage over platform slots would be an improvement, adding a filtered storage block would be nice too. Personally I'd prefer to not have it as a global upgrade (saw the other topic) because it'd be nice to just have basic Medium Storages plus an Advanced version.
