Storage boxes

Storage Containers are buildings that can be built inside of Player-Owned Buildings in Town or at a Player Outpost. They come in varying shapes and sizes. Distinct types can be built for storing specific items.

General use containers can be used to store all types of items. Specialised containers (such as the Animal Feeder or an Armour Storage) are limited to containing a certain type of item. Specialised containers are programmed to be used by labourers as input or output containers for various manufacturing processes. For example, a farmer might use the Fabric chest to store the Fabrics produced as output from crafting and a smith may use the same Fabrics chest to take the Fabrics to be used in clothes or armour production. Note that the specialised containers also clear the "Stolen" tag from items when such an item is stored in a player-owned container, no matter how briefly.
