Welcome

The StorageMS Mod provides Survivors with the ability to automate the sorting and moving of inventory around their base.

This mod is currently a Mid-Tier mod, Requires Level 49 to craft and a Generator to Power. Future updates will include both Lower-Tier (that will not require power) and Higher-Tier (Tek Tier) options.

This Mod is designed to work with vanilla and modded structures, providing the ability to use whatever structures you prefer to store your items.

Compatible with Mod Settings Panel

What you will find in the mod:

Storage Controller: This Structure creates a network that will handle processing the rules to move your inventory around as well as scan for resources. _Hint: Your network name is based on the name you give to this structure.
Storage Hub: This Structure extends the range of a network allowing survivors to move their inventory over a larger area.
SMS Tool: This tool has 3 modes, accessible via holding "R" while equipped.
- Configure: Allows you to register and manage a container on the network.
- Copy: Allows you to copy the settings of one container to another.
- Transfer: Allows you to move inventory from one container or dino to another.
D1N0-M8: This Structure, in conjunction with a controller/s above, allows collection of resource from resource generating/gathering dinos within an area. See List below for which dinos are supported.
- Achatina - Achatina Paste & Organic Polymer
- Basilosaurus - Squid Oil
- Dung beetle - Fertilizer, Oil
- Gacha - Achatina Paste, Black Pearl, Silica Pearls, can Intake Resources.

Go ahead and add resources to this container. Resources need to be present in a configured Container to be initially found by the mod.

Configure your first Storage Container

Find or Place a new Storage Container (small storage box, large storage box, or any structure that holds inventory)
Use the SMS Tool in Configure mode, shoot the Storage Container.
Under Intake Network, set the Drop Down to Resources
Under Output Network, set the Drop Down to [None]

Find the Resource or Resources you want to add to this Container and click the Left Arrow < to move the resource to the Intake Network Rules List.
Click the "Toggle State" button in the Top Center of the Widget so it changes from Red to Green.
Click Save

Walk away and do something else, after a bit of time resources will be moved. Go ahead an add other Containers to the Intake Network for other Resources to have StorageMS automatically distribute your resources throughout your base.
