Storage Categories

[Ozziie]

I recently put this together for myself and thought it would be worth sharing. I looked online for some ideas for storage categories but they were very vague and certainly didn't take BTW items in to account.

With the help of the Hardcore Buoy article from the wiki, and Mason's BTW Systems Flowchart I present the following:

** P.S - Does anyone have any tips for the layout of this post? I'm looking to keep it updated but feels a bit clunky. Also feel free to make suggestions if I have categorised anything in the wrong place or missed items entirely **

[Destructo]

Thanks man, very useful.
The spoiler in Transport/Utilities is not correct

[Ozziie]

Thanks for moving this, went with the safe option of Off-Topic just in case.

Also, I've sorted the spoiler, thanks for the heads up Destructo.

[Thordan Ssoa]

You have just saved me a lot of time man. I've been trying to come up with good catagories to sort everything into. This is all vanilla and btw blocks, yes?

Should be absolutely every item from both vanilla and BTW, though some are condensed e.g. Blood Wood comes under Wood in general.

There will be some missing so if you find any please let me know and I'll update the OP. I may restructure it in to broader categories in the near future so that related items (e.g. animal drops and food) are with each other.

Still not a fan of how it looks though :(

[Ecoweb]

Much better than my "Misc Chests" which held everything.

[Six]

This looks a lot like the splits I tend to go for, but something else I often do is have a 'working chest' near my crafting bench / anvil, filled with the components used to craft the common stuff. So a chest of components to be processed, which may be duplicated in larger storage chests.

Also, you've missed out pillars and white stone, which I assume would go in stone, and I didn't spot brimstone in there either.

[william711]

making a good storage room seems almost as difficult as making a BTW automation sometimes. even after categorizing all the items I still take into consideration which categories I will use the most and design to have those areas easiest and quickest to access (and usually within short range of a crafting table).

[tom_savage]

This is actually very well done. Thanks for the categorizing. My system is very similar to this, and a lot of these won't even require their own chest in my world, but for a lot of these I'll probably be changing around what I have to mirror these, because they make so much sense.
