-==Description==
+== Description ==
-''A storage bin made from planks and strengthened with iron ribbons.''
-== Notes ==
+A '''bulk storage bin''', or '''BSB''', is a large [[storage]] [[container]] used to store bulk materials. Items placed into a bulk storage bin are grouped by item type and averaged by [[quality]].
-* If empty and not planted, it can be picked up.
-* The last plank added to the bin determines the type (cedar, pinewood, etc.).
+== Usage ==
 * Finished empty bulk storage bins can be stored in a [[rack for empty bsbs]].
 * They can be planted to prevent pickup by other people. If planted, only the owner can move it.
-:* Can be locked with a [[large padlock]] or [[small padlock]], which prevents use until unlocked unless [[permissions]] are set.
+* BSBs generally work like other containers, such as a [[large chest]], with some differences:
-:* Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent of deed restrictions.
+** If a BSB is simply dropped, it is "proximity" owned. Anyone can pick it up if the person who dropped it is not close by and they have pickup rights in its location, such as on a deed, in a house, or in the wilderness.
-:* Bulk storage bins can be bashed off-deed and picked up if they are 70+ damage and or 10 quality and below.
+** If a BSB is planted, it is "fully" owned. Only the player who planted it can move or pick it up.
-* A BSB can hold 16000 units of volume.
+** When someone puts an item into a BSB that it does not already store, they are the "proximity" owner of that consolidated item.
-:* The bulk storage bin will visually change when more than half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8000 in volume.
+** Others may add additional items to that consolidated item, but the ownership remains with the initial player.
-:* Volume and weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.
+** On [[PvP]] servers, items that have proximity ownership can be stolen.
-* Items can be dragged directly from any container to the storage bin. They do not need to be moved into your inventory first.
-:* When taking items out, they must be moved into your inventory.
+== Locks, permissions, and destruction ==
-==Bonuses of BSBs==
+* A BSB can be locked with a [[large padlock]] or [[small padlock]], which prevents use until unlocked unless [[permissions]] are set.
-:* You can store more than 100 objects in them, depending on volume.
+* A locked BSB prevents anyone from using it unless they unlock it first or are listed on its permissions.
-:* They stop all decay of objects put into them, if kept on a deed with more than 30 days upkeep.
+* Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent deed restrictions.
-:* They will average the quality of similar items.
+* Bulk storage bins can be bashed off-deed and picked up if they are 70+ damage or 10 quality and below.
-:* They allow players to combine items it is not normally possible to combine, such as logs, and split up large combined items into smaller ones, such as lumps, cotton and woodscraps.
+* When bashing a BSB, the items inside are destroyed.
-:* It allows players to remove damage from unrepairable items without the [[mend]] spell at the cost of having their quality reduced by a percent equal to the damage.
+* When a BSB is destroyed, all items inside it are destroyed.
-==Downsides of Using BSBs==
+== Storage behavior ==
-==Ownership==
+* The bulk storage bin will visually change when more than half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8,000 volume.
-BSBs generally work very much like any other container, such as a large chest, with some differences.
+* Volume and weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.
-* If a BSB is simply dropped it is "proximity" owned. Anyone can pick it up if the person who dropped it is not close by, and they have pickup rights in its location (deed, house, wilderness).
