Upgradeable Chest

Description
upgrade your chest with boards.

Larger content, same space.




Woddie and Lucy rate this 5 stars.



Q&A

How Can I Upgrade?
1. Put at least 1 upgrade material in all the outermost slots.
2. Close the container.

Degrade:
1. Clear your chest
2. Put 1 hammer into the chest
3. Close the container
4. It will consume 5 uses, trade for half of the upgrading material


How Large Can The Chest Be?
Here is few options allow you to choose how many times it could update. How large? Check the last option! It is infinite!
in fact not but you may never reach the upper limiteven you hit the limit, I can easily top up the limit. wanna give it a try?


Do The Mod Break The Balance?
Certainly not.
A normal chest has 9 slots and cost 3 boards. i.e. 3 slots for each boards

With this mod,
The 5x5 chest cost a total 11 boards with a total 25 slots, i.e. 25 / 11 = 2.2 slots per boards.
The 7x7 chest cost a total 27 boards with a total 49 slots, i.e. 49 / 27 = 1.8 slots per boards.

That means for each upgrade, you have to trade more boards for less slots.


Why there is no option under UI setting?
It is not able to adjust UI setting in worldgen menu. You must visit mod screen in main menu for setting.
ie. Main Menu → Mods → Server Mods → Upgradable Chest

I hope UI setting could could be set by each client. All client should follow the setting from server host if I do not make it a client option. For example, if the server host turn the "Ice Box Leftward", all clients are forced on even they don't want to. That's why I make them a client option which each client follow their own setting than server's setting. Making it a client option will hide it from worldgen menu. You can only tune the options from main menu.


Why I cannot upgrade the chest?
Test if it works with no other mods, and with default config. option of the mod.
Here are some useful console commands for your test:
spawn a new chest
c_spawn("treasurechest")
give you 10 boards
c_give("boards", 10)
upgrade the nearest chest to 7x7
c_selectnear("treasurechest") c_sel().components.chestupgrade:SetChestLv(7)

If it fails, comment below. Otherwise, check the following Q&A


Is the mod conflict with other mods? How do I know which mod it is?
If you fail to upgrade the container, check to see if you install these mods.
Here are some kind of mods that may not compat with this mod:
1. ALL mods that enlarge chest storage
2. SOME of the mods that add new containers to the game
3. SOME mods that add a new items which can hold/ store/ trade/ delete things in one of its slots




What is needed in other container?
After version 4.0, you can upgrade 4 more containers, i.e. ice box, salt box, dragonfly chest, fish box.
Here are the materials needed:

Ice Box
1 gears in each top-most slots, 1 cut stone in each other outermost slots
Salt Box
1 salt crystal in each outermost slots, and 1 blue gem in the center-most slot
Dragonfly Chest
1 boards in each outermost slots
Fish Box
1 rope in each outermost slots

Row/Column Upgrading Mode
A new upgrading mode is added in version 7.0. Turn it on in Other Functions: Upgrade Mode
Idea From: ♛ EmuLegs
Mode
Detail
normal mode
The mode what we are using. Refer to the above for more info.
expensive mode
A more expensive and complicated mode. Put the upgrading items to all the right-most slots will extend horizontally. Put them to all the bottom-most slots will extend vertically. The items are listed below
complex mode
Turn both of the above on.
OTHER NEW MODE
Welcome to command below if you want your cool idea installed. I will implant them to the mode if I like the idea.

Ice Box
1 gears in first position of the targeted slots, 1 cut stone in each other targeted slots
Salt Box
1 blue gem in first position of the targeted slot, 1 salt crystal in each other targeted slots
Dragonfly Chest
1 boards in each targeted slots
Fish Box
1 rope in each targeted slots

Pageable Upgrade
You may upgrade the chest to make it "pageable". The feature has yet finalized. Welcome to discuss below.
The idea is from mod Pageable containers by Potter_Lee.
*****Remind: This mod is supposed not compatible with his mod. You may test and tell me if they can work together.

After you have upgraded the container to the MAX levels. Put the upgrading items to ALL the slots in FIRST page.
The upgrading items are the most-common-used upgrade item for its normal upgrade. ie. 1 cut stone for all slots in first page, NO gears is needed.

Backpack Upgrade
More or less the same as pageable upgrade. Put the items into first n slots and unequip the backpack. Where n equal to the total number of slots of the non-upgraded backpack. Up to 3 pages
pack
item
slot
Backpack
rope
8
Insulated Pack
electrical doodad

Spice Pack
nitre
6
Piggyback
pig skin
12
Krampus Sack
rope

*Special: Krampus Sack is allowed to upgrade 4 extra pages if waxpaper is used.




Update Log:
  • Add Config: Magician's Container(default on)

    fix:
  • unable to reach the max lv for some container
  • the flip page button is not fit to some of the backpack slots

Does this work with the special backpacks from Achievements and Levels mod? I see there's an option to work on modded bags, which I have turned on. Just don't know how to make it work

降级的话,对角各一个锤子怎么样? (第一格和最后一格

[@靓爆镜镜] 无线终端是什么?新东西我不太了解。但升级后的箱子从代码层面上依旧是原来的箱子,只是容量有区别。所以正常来说作用在游戏本体箱子上的物品都能在升级后的箱子上生效。

[@我要成为CS高手] 理论可行,但我未必有这个技术,而且因为最近没玩游戏,所以调试之类的都嫌麻烦,因此短期之内不打算做新功能,最多修bug。你或许可以尝试一下开启"局部显示组件"功能,看看能不能将就着用。或者试试双击背景,使用搜索功能。长按背景也可以拖动界面。如果觉得不习惯或者不好看不方便就别勉强了,等有缘我会尝试做这个功能的,确实有意思。

[@Fori] 背包等级上限可行,不难做。但降级我感觉放锤子不合适,主要是平常箱子不会单放一个锤子,不容易误降级,背包则有可能,但在我想到更好的方案前,可以先实装锤子降级。不过需要我下一次有心情上游戏测试完才会更新(一般是发现bug时)(如果记得的话)。

无线终端可以识别到升级以后的箱子吗?
Fori 14 Nov @ 2:06am 
可否考虑对背包的“行数”和“列数”单独设置升级上限?

比如列数上限2,3,4,5,行数上限9,10,11,12等。

变长还好,变宽……背包布局为“分开”时,四列以上就变成移动存储箱了(无论功能还是视觉),而且由于背包选择行列模式后,不能降级,不能翻页,有人升错要回退就只能回档了。

如果有实现难度请当我没说(

有没有办法改一下UI大小,笔记本电脑屏幕太小,升三级就要把屏幕占满了

Can you upgrade the size of Chester?

感谢作者,进过调试发现是这个Performance Pack (Server Lag Fix),性能优化包mod导致的,后面打开里面的安全兼容就没事了,哈哈又可以玩了:steamhappy:

我测试了下,只开启勋章和箱子升级,模组设置预设,冰箱7x7大小,离开加载范围、上下洞穴、下玻璃雨都没发现问题。可能还有其他因素影响了,需要知道你还有没有开启其他模组,模组设置。
