Description

A storage bin made from planks and strengthened with iron ribbons.

Food storage bins are useful for two main reasons. First, you can fit more than 100 objects into them. Second, they stop all decay of objects put into them. There are two major downsides: the quality of the items you get out seem to be the average of the items you put in, similar to combining items in your inventory.

Notes

• 5% of each of the stored items are lost every 28 days. This loss does not apply to containers on a deed with more than 28 days of upkeep left.
• Finished storage bins can only be picked up if empty, but can always be pushed, pulled, and turned like forges and ovens.
• They can be Planted to prevent pickup when they are empty.
• As of Jan 2016 the Food Storage Bin no longer fits in a wagon.
• Enchants, renames, and other "special" characteristics are lost.
• Can be secured like a large chest with a large padlock.
• Can hold more than 100 items.
• Storage bins can be used to separate large piles of combined items (e.g. olives, grapes).
• Storage bins can be used to combine leftover bits of items, assuming they are of the same type.
• The 'Weight' column of the bin is actually the volume, a single bin can hold 16000.
• Items can be dragged directly from a container to the storage bin.
• Can only be destroyed by the creator.
• Dragging Items back and forth between bins and inventory causes item QL to lessen slightly each time, pay attention when organizing.
• Food storage bins can be bashed off deed and picked up, if they are empty, if they are 70+ dmg and or 10 quality and below

Finished food items (meal, gulash, casserole, stew, sandwich, porridge, stew, soup, dishwater) do not fit in.

Most healing cover ingredients don't fit in either. Meat (including Filet) does not fit in. Wemp and cotton seeds fit in bulk storage bins.

Mushrooms now fit inside Food storage bins.
