    Thats what the Modular Containers are added for. Having a "group access" might be a feature of the future, but that is not yet possible.

    It would still would be nice for constructors to automatically pick a container to connect to in two situations: upon the constructor first being placed, and when a container is added to a structure with constructors that didn't previously have any containers. It would eliminate one potentially confusing step when setting up a new base.

    Also, any news on when we might expect to see constructor connection information saved in blueprints?

    I subscribe to what Mariuss says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    All logistics has been thought of as the back of the human body
    At the risk of repeating, I paid this game and I want access to the previous game and server version!!!!!!!
    I'm already bored to list all the issues that this version has, problems that have not been taken into account.
    Repeat, it's simple!
    I paid the game and I'm the village to act as a guinea pig, myself and my friends for the crap that Eleonore Games does not take into account in the new releases

    To the creators of the game!
    If I do not have access to the previous game and server version, I will uninstall the game and you will have enough negative internet advertising!

    If there are no "inbuild" containers possible, then the newly placed device should link up to the first available one.
    Ideally one that fits the "type" (fridge, general)

    If there is none, make the message clearer (for the first time user)
    [Device Offline..]
    "No input container assigned"

    ----

    Automatic presets (assigning a container) are not a problem for experienced users, they will adjust the connections it to their needs anyway. But its a huge help to first time users.

    ----

    Overall the new inventory system offers a great deal of new opportunities in handling items, but at the necessary drawback to have to get more complex that the simple classic grid-inventory, with one item per slot. So I think there will be several iterations on polishing that.

    Initially while playing 2072 I started to take screen shots on what didn't sense to me with the logistics, but eventually is stopped when I realize while it's not random it's probably as close as it gets. While opening a box in front of me it gives me my hv outside and it's fuel tank? Or one box in the poi and a different box in the poi. Even when I get the contaner I want open in the system wirelessly it will defaut to the fuel of the hv, time again. Don't get me wrong I can see the value in the system but ATM it feels like I mini logic puzzle game every time I open a box. I honestly found my self using a port constructor as storage more than once so I wouldn't have to deal with it. It needs to be very perdictable so I don't have to solve a mini puzzle every time I open a box.

    On a different note my reservation on the system is that it's always on. None of the senarios above had me connected to it other than in range of a device. I would honestly limit the system to only bring up what box I'm connected to while playing. And keep the full menu to only be under the f4 menu. You may have a case of information overload, it needs to be more limited. Pulling up the abandoned mine s box list and seeing over 30 different boxes in the list when you want what's in front of you really isn't that helpful.

    Lol...I guess some peeps never read the EA notification.:rolleyes:

    Just a little feed back; first under certain conditions the item description drop down in menus are still having to have you change pages or click on something else and back to enable them. (I previously left a bug report in experimental)

    Suggestion; in early game before getting a vehicle with extra storage/wifi you are unable to pick individual items out of oversize stacks especially in over filled containers, you can't put them back, they just get dropped and lost. So my suggestion is to get these overfilled containers corrected to proper volume, and/or have the ability to pick up items in smaller portions of the stack; one, ten, or a hundred at a time, or when clicked just transfers the amount to fill your inventory.*

    *I realize this has been mentioned/discussed before just want to bring it back into the light.;)

    For us veterans not going to a POI with a large loot potential until we have a vehicle, or just visit and comeback is not a problem, but I can see much potential confusion and rage with new players when grabbing a stack of much needed or desired items to watch it drop and disappear; a harsh lesson. An early POI during the tutorial fits this situation having some powerful goodies you can jump to, but can't pickup because of overfilled containers, and nothing but your bike.:(

    SP Survival, arid start

    There is a rock here lol

    You can also mostly erase the players entire inventory by setting it to the lines.
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    You can also erase the players inventory by having a full inventory in an HV, with items in your logistics bar. unconnect the logistics the items in the logistics bar will drop to ground and the players actual inventory will vanish.

    And lastly i'm not entirely sure of the combo for doing this, but It seems that when moving stuff between inventories (through connected logistics) sometimes the stuff doesn't make it. it may have something to do with a full slotted hv inventory the logistics were connected to. I had moved a pistol from a chest to my inventory and after i closed it i could no longer see the gun anywhere. had trouble reproducing this one though.

    If you're playing from an old save or on a server that has just updated and hasn't reset then your inventory doesn't work anymore and even if you pick up new items (tested with items picked and item from the item meny they'll just disappear.

    I found this issue on my friends server after the update and the easiest way for us to fix it was to just reset and start from scratch. This is usually the practice for any major update though so my only gripe here is that they didn't give people enough warning that a major update was coming to the stable branch.

    It doesn't matter much if it will be on the right or left, players can adapt to it as long as it is consistent behavior. Most important is for UI to be consistent in terms of opened inventories, and it is not - like F-container opens content on the left and F-tank opens on the right.
    If you F-open tank, switch left to players inventory, then F-open container, there won't be player inventory, only tank on the right and container on the left.

    No. The player still has a separate inventory. However, all constructors now lack internal inventories and must be connected to cargo boxes instead. A player can then connect to a cargo box and have remote access to its contents in addition to what's in the player's inventory.
