BetterStash

Description
BetterStash

Here is a mod I made a little while back and decided to release it publically as a few have requested it.

The mod adds a Plastic Barrel which functions similarly to the barrels in the game already, however you can use a shovel bury it to turn it into a hidden stash, inspired by the hidden caches in Tarkov.

The Hidden stash differs from the buried stashes already in the game, as you can access the loot without requring a shovel each time to dig it up.

The intended use is for servers with no base building, where it is difficult to store, for example, Namalsk Lore items. This give you a small amount of hidden storage that can be easily accessed, but you still run the risk of players finding it.

It's suprsingingly well hidden in long grass and around trees. (Be careful, as with the vanilla stashes, they can sometimes become unreachable if placed too far into an object).


Usage

I do no permit people to repack this mod.

I allow this mod to be used on monitised servers.

Server Owners

Theres a types.xml in the mod folder with a lifetime set to 14 days for the stash once it's in the ground (they are set up for namalsk so change usages accordingly).

The stashes are logged when the are dug in and dug out, which will go into Profiles/Betterstash/logs folder.

Hello, again, @Pope Leo. When spawning in the plasticbarrelstash, it does not sit flat on the ground - the part of the blue barrel seems to have something like a "sit on surface" configuration.
Would it be possible for you to change that point so that when spawning in the plasticbarrelstash the blue part of the barrel hides in the ground? If it is not clear (due to my bad English) what I mean, so please spawn in the plasticbarrelstash as an admin ingame and see, what happens.
Thanks a lot for that great workshop!

Hello @Pope Leo. Would it be possible for you to set the volume of the plastic barrel equal to the volume of the stash? The barrel has a volume /itemsize of 6x8, the stash a volume//itemsize of 7x9. I guess thats not wanted, but a mistake.
An update would be appreciated!
Cheers.

I buried the plastic container in grass and now I cannot interact with it (open it or dig it up). Is this normal? What would make this happen?

Wehre you can setup the Loot for the hidden stashes?

Can I make this barrel stay in places for players to find stashes and can I make it randomize the loot inside if so how is that possible?

@Shino extending and overriding in a separate mod without repacking, sure!

@Pope Leo

i know it is not allowed to repack. but is it allowed to "modify" the mod with my own config e.g changing inventory slots ?
