Description

A large crate is a storage container primarily used to transport bulk goods. It can be loaded into vehicles and ships, but cannot be picked up into a player's inventory.

Usage

  • A large crate can hold up to 300 items, regardless of individual item volume.
  • Items that fit in bulk storage bins or food storage bins also fit in crates.
  • Large crates can be stored in vehicles.
  • Large crates can also be stored in a crate rack by moving them from a vehicle's cargo hold to the crate rack.
  • Large crates may be loaded while full or empty, but cannot be picked up into the inventory.
  • Large crates may be hauled up or down through floor openings with ladders.
    • To haul down, you must be on the same floor opening as the crate, not below it.
    • To haul up, you must be on the floor opening above the crate.
    • Hauling only works on floor openings with ladders, not with stairs or gaps in the floor.

Notes

  • Requires 60 carpentry to create and continue.
  • Has a 23% creation chance with a 1 QL plank.
  • The plank's QL affects the success chance.
  • The crate itself has a volume of 1,728, empty or otherwise.
  • Prevents decay of its contents similar to bulk storage bins and food storage bins.
  • 5% of each stored item is lost every 28 days. This loss does not apply to containers on a deed with more than 28 days of upkeep left.
  • Large crates are not efficient for transporting items with a volume of less than 5.76, since 300 of those items would take up less volume in a smaller container, such as seeds in satchels.
  • Ownership changes to the last character to unload the crate. If you are given a crate, you must load it into something such as a large cart and unload it before you can rename it.
