Description

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

Bulk storage bins are useful for many reasons.

• You can fit more than 100 objects into them.
• They stop all decay of objects put into them.
• They allow players to average the QL for items this is not normally possible for.
• 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.

There are three major downsides. Averaging the quality of the items put in is not always a good thing, such as when high quality materials are required for improving. In addition, 5% of the stored items are lost every 30 days. Finally, any enchants, renames, and other "special" characteristics on items put in are lost.

Notes

• The last plank built onto the bin determines the type (cedar, pinewood, etc.).
• Finished bulk storage bins can only be picked up if they are empty, but can always be pushed, pulled, and turned like forges and ovens.
• Can be secured like a large chest with a large padlock.
• The 'Weight' column of the bin is actually the volume. A single bin can hold 16000.
• The model for bins will change when being half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8000 in volume.
• Items can be dragged directly from a container to the storage bin.
• Volume and Weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.
• When you remove the last whole item, any remaining material of that type is lost.
• Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent of deed restrictions.
• When a BSB is destroyed, all of the items inside of it are destroyed as well.
