How smart storage could be much more useful


Recommended Posts

One change to the Smart Storage Container that would make it much more useful is to change the thresholds to work like the smart battery.  For instance, if you could set it to 10000 kg -> active, 20000 kg -> standby.  This would stop the automation from rapdily toggling between on and off.  This is the biggest problem to making the container useful.  The most obvious use I want from the smart container is to use it as an output buffer for dupe operated buildings, such as a metal refinery, and you can't use it that way right now without complicated automation.

What we have now is like this: a smart battery set to 100% both values, hooked up to a manual generator.  Of course in this situation you will end up with dupes hopping on and off the generator.  You don't have a buffer.  It's the same thing with the Smart Storage, you don't have a buffer, and that's why it's not commonly used.
