Description

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

Notes

• If empty and not planted, it can be picked up.
• The last plank added to the bin determines the type (cedar, pinewood, etc.).
• Finished empty bulk storage bins can be stored in a rack for empty bsbs.
• Finished bulk storage bins can be picked up if they are empty and can be moved (pushed, pulled, and turned) whether empty or not.

• They cannot be loaded into a wagon, even if the wagon is empty, unless the wagon is runed with the zinc rune of Magranon.

• 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.
• Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent of deed restrictions.
• Bulk storage bins can be bashed off-deed and picked up if they are 70+ damage and or 10 quality and below.

• A BSB can hold 16000 units of volume.

• The bulk storage bin will visually change when more than half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8000 in volume.
• Volume and weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.

• 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.

• The minimum allowed quality of items put into the bin can be dictated by the quality lock feature.
• Four bulk storage bins can fit in a Bulk container unit, making for easier organization.
• When bashing a BSB, the items inside are destroyed.
• A Bulk storage bin may be hauled up and down the ladders inside of a building. By standing on the opening of a floor you can activate a rope and right click the item to haul it, providing both you and the object are on the same tile, albeit one floor apart. Hauling back down will work in the same way and the item does not need to be empty.

Bonuses of BSBs

• You can store more than 100 objects in them, depending on volume.
• They stop all decay of objects put into them, if kept on a deed with more than 30 days upkeep.
• They will average the quality of similar items.
• 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.
• 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.

Downsides of Using BSBs

• Averaging the quality of the items put in is not always a good thing, such as when high quality materials are required for improving.
• 5% of each of the stored items are lost every 30 days, if not kept on a deed with more than 30 days upkeep.
• Any enchants, renames, and other "special" characteristics on items put in are lost. Items with enchants can generally not be placed into a BSB. Rare items cannot be put into a BSB.

• Partial items that cannot be combined are kept in the bin when you use "As many as I can carry."
• When a BSB is destroyed, all of the items inside of it are destroyed as well.

Ownership

BSBs generally work very much like any other container, such as a large chest, with some differences.

• 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).
• If a BSB is planted it is "fully" owned. Only the player who planted it can move or pick it up.
• When someone puts an item into a BSB that it does not already store, they are the "proximity" owner of that consolidated item.
• Others may add additional items to that consolidated item, but the ownership remains with the initial player.
• A locked BSB prevents anyone from using the BSB unless they unlock it first or if a player is listed on its permissions.
• Note that on PVP servers, items that have proximity ownership can be stolen.
