Storage Needs a Retrieval Rule

Use separate chests for building material, food and seeds, electronics, fuel, and expedition equipment. On vehicles, mount heavy storage low and inside the wheelbase.

  • Label the outside with paint or a sample block.
  • Leave an empty chest for unloading a complete expedition.
  • Do not make the only supply chest part of an untested vehicle.
