I like to stack them in a not so neat stack for realism lol. Because they are hand stacked and don’t snap!! Cool little Bethesda tidbit lol.

Whoa! I didn't know you could output to a storage chest. Great find! For others trying to find it, go the decorations tab, go down to storage crate and select the second version of the storage crate (i.e. the 2/6 crate).

Duuuuude 😮😮😮 sweet thanks

Holy shit how did I miss this, pinned thanks!

Pretty sure it's only the industrial storage chest you can do this with. Using "Z" tips in the video I have set up an industrial storage chest with about 10 of them and weapons, armor, notes and everything drop into the transfer container and there you go everything goes into the storage chests. I am on Xbox so I tend not to build too many containers I don't want any issues or bugs for building way too many connections. Update, now if they had put a filter method into the game for storage that would be neat.

Now THIS is useful. Thank you!

I have 3 ships now parked around my base

Nice. I will try this!

I like when my bases are attacked… gives me something to kill.

You can also make a wall out of all the resource/mats storage containers, they don't take damage, so just stack them around the outpost instead of inside and then the NPCs can only go through whatever gaps you place. Funnel them into turret kill boxes.

was just going to say this

Neat now what's those commands for consoles

@@Shinzon23 on controller, activate your scanner, usually LB, then X for outpost, then you can choose build or modify with B

It’s the same exact button to place outpost.

@@Shinzon23 How do you scan and build?

Same here. Up to now I have been dumping resources into the infinite storage boxes in the Lodge and doing my crafting there. The annoying part is having to take all the stuff out of the box and then put it back when I'm done. Not to mention getting the stuff from my ship to the Lodge.

​@Khalifrio you can get gear that will basically make it nonexistant and just move 10-20kg of resources around

Man just put in your room in the lodge

this has been my solution as well, by far the most efficient imo

@@davejolly582It is though I'm worried it will be fixed at some point. I'm glad to see this video showing an alternative to the cheese :)

Same I try to keep 10-20 of everything on the ship for outpost building as well. Sometimes I stock my ship down with 18k cargo of resources and go on an outpost building spree

@@hadoken95what do you mean by “fixed”? I think the developers placed the infinite storage container there on purpose. I don’t think it was an accident. The wall safe in the bedroom is the same. These are the only two truly infinite capacity storage containers available to the player anywhere in the game. I don’t see how that could have been accidentally coded to be that way.

@@BrentDnD i agree, i thought it might be a glitch, but the more i think about it, it seems intentional. And if they wanted to fix it, how would they for all the players already storing everything in the chest? Would get real messy.

Feel that, just learned from these comments that you can apparently link your chests up with the 2nd version of chest (2/6) so all your other loot could be in the same type of system, gonna try it

lmao glad to empower the keeping of more stuff :D

Either way works. If you go from top to bottom you can still build up. Just change beginning of loop instead of adding on to the end

Thanks homie glad it was useful! I stumbled my way here for sure lol just kept messing with it till it was actually a bit useful instead of slowing me down even more lol

Lol thanks glad it was useful! I am slow but more is coming :D

Or sell them to the trade authority and then go to buyback before you exit their menu.

Or just drop them on the ground and pick them back up. Lol.

@@penmaster003 that does not work.

@@xHICKORYx Huh. I saw it work in a KZfaq video. They might’ve patched it already or the guy was just lying.

​@@penmaster003probably lying, the stolen tag is a persistent item property, there was probably a hidden jump-cut

Glad it was helpful!

Respect for trying lol I messed with it for a WHILE

Well said lol

@RitchieOaulDalto - I'd strongly advise you to at least get one Outpost up and running with iron and aluminum extractors going. Add a single fabricator manufacturing "Adaptive Frames" and outputting them to a single (or preferably a few) warehouses. Warehouses are the same cube size as a standard solid storage container they are just titled "warehouse" because instead of storing raw resources they store fabricated products. You will need copious amounts of Adaptive Frames available whenever you decide you want to get around to doing something like the OP above as they are the component you need to build all the daisy chained storage containers. If you do this, you can then run around playing all the other aspects of the game and while all that time is passing your auto fabricator will be happily spitting out hundreds and hundreds of adaptive frames that will be sitting there ready to use whenever you decide you want to get around to some serious outpost/container farm building. Without having done that, your container building will really slow you down because you will have to start from zero building all the adaptive frames you need. You'll be happy later you have avoided that time suck and grind.

Lesgooo. I found out from these comments that you can also link your storage chests in the same way all the resource containers are - apparently the 2nd type of chest (2/6 in the build menu) can be linked just like the resource containers, so might be able to do the same kind of set up with guns/armor/aid. Also people are saying that if you put 1 point in botany you can just grow the plants that give structural material for chests at your base

That's rad lol love it

If you don't want to build outposts just use one of the containers in the lodge basement. It's infinite

Thanks homie!

💜

I'll have to look again. I didn't think you could specify what type of items you could auto move

Woah for real? I didn't realize there was a chest that did that but that would really close the loop on this because that part is still super annoying. I never tried linking a chest, is it one of the 6 default chests or does it open up with skills in outpost engineering?

Ooo rad spot thanks for the tip!

You can set an output link to those crates? I’ll have to try thx

How do you stop gasses being auto stored in the storage crates rather than the gas storage tanks?

It isn't a perfect system but I dump everything in the transfer station then have a crate next it that is connected to a wall of crates for everything that doesn't get sorted

Oh shit I didn't know it was one end only, wow I have been creating complex he3 hubs to fuel all the sides wow thanks

Great tips I didn't know about this helium thing either thanks!

Thanks homie, hope you're enjoying your adventures out there!

But save and check your map when you do. There's a bug where you can lose your outpost marker when moving your beacon.

great tips ty

Awesome comment homie thanks for the feedback, I also hate the snapping thing lol. Welcome!

Glad it helped! messed with this for a WHILE before I finally found something that worked lol respect for trying

hell ya glad it was useful! not sure if you saw the pinned comment but found out that you can also use the storage chests in the same way and can link them - just have to create the right kind in the build menu, I think it's either 2/6 or 4/6 can't quite remember but when you make the right one if you go to the outpost menu you should be able to link it up! This should let you drop weapons and armor and stuff in the transfer container and it should auto-sort just like the resources

@@Zikorik oh word, gonna try that out for sure

RIP bro that's rough
