How stable are quantum storage piles?


Recommended Posts

My current base is nearing the point where it' will start transitioning into a storage compactor colony that duplicants occasionally visit, and I'm looking towards a more efficient model.  My current plan is to just have a sweep-only automatic dispenser over a cooled chlorine box.
I know just dropping everything into one spot is a classic method of dealing with storage concerns, but I just can't shake the feeling that having everything in one giant pile will cause weird things to happen to the game.  (I mean, aside form all the weird things I will do to the game.)
Am I just being paranoid?  Have any of guys had quantum problems?

in the past after save/reload only 100t per item remained ... wonder if this still applies

I've been storing everything on my asteroid in one pile, and haven't noticed any loss. I am concerned though that at some point my map will start rotating...

At this point i'm more concerned about reaching the critical mass where the gravitational pull of these items will collapse the entire map into a black hole.

It's okay, I've got plenty of volcanoes to use as ballast!
I just tested a reload, it preserved the 400+ tons of dirt that were in the pile.,  The reload didn't do such a good job of condensing all the dirst into one entity, though.
Here's my prototype storage box, if anyone's interested:20190722164955_1.thumb.jpg.debb910742ae536bc20dd71a543cb8b8.jpg

I recommend the single pile technique. They fixed the issue where your fps tanks when hovering over it so it's pretty nice now.

Debris is 25t per pile, and it will automatically separate, even inside of a modded storage compactor.

However, items that stack by the number of items, such as lumber and seeds, will only stack to 100,000, and after that the items are deleted.

Most people should only have this issue with lumber - don't stack those beyond 100,000 currently.

Meaning including clothing and medicine!

Hear that @mathmanican, don't stack your pills more than 100k or your world will flip over
