Guide

The Crate serves as the most basic storage container in the early stages of your factory. Crafted from Xenoferrite Plates using an assembler, it provides a straightforward way to store items before more advanced logistics solutions are available.

With a stack size of 10, the Crate is designed for manual storage and retrieval rather than automated systems. Its role is limited to direct placement for holding items, making it a practical option when just starting out.

As you unlock logistics containers, crates stay a manual box. Players often keep a few for starter buffers, then move bulk storage onto automated containers.

Astuces

• Crates are ideal for simple, early-game storage needs before you unlock logistics systems.
• As your factory expands, manually transferring items to and from crates can become time-consuming. Plan to upgrade to logistics containers when possible.
• Use crates as temporary buffers between production steps if you need to store excess items for short periods.
• Organize crate placement in accessible locations to streamline manual item management in the early game.

FAQ

How do crate storage limits compare directly to logistics containers in practice?

Crates offer a lower storage capacity and lack automation compared to Xeno-Logistics Container. Logistics containers are designed for integration with transport and automation systems, making them more efficient for large-scale or automated storage needs as your factory grows.
