Description

A bulk storage bin, or BSB, is a large storage container used to store bulk materials. Items placed into a bulk storage bin are grouped by item type and averaged by quality.

Usage

• A BSB can hold 16,000 units of volume.
• Items can be dragged directly from any container to the storage bin. They do not need to be moved into your inventory first.
• When taking items out, they must be moved into your inventory.
• The minimum allowed quality of items put into the bin can be controlled by the quality lock feature.
• Four bulk storage bins can fit in a bulk container unit, making for easier organization.
• A Bulk storage bin may be hauled up and down the ladders inside of a building. By standing on the opening of a floor you can activate a rope and right click the item to haul it, providing both you and the object are on the same tile, albeit one floor apart. Hauling back down will work in the same way and the item does not need to be empty.

Movement and ownership

• If empty and not planted, a BSB can be picked up.
• Finished bulk storage bins can be picked up if they are empty, and can be moved by pushing, pulling, and turning whether empty or not.
• They cannot be loaded into a wagon, even if the wagon is empty, unless the wagon is runed with the zinc rune of Magranon.
• The last plank added to the bin determines the wood type, such as cedar or pinewood.
• Finished empty bulk storage bins can be stored in a rack for empty bsbs.
• They can be planted to prevent pickup by other people. If planted, only the owner can move it.
• BSBs generally work like other containers, such as a large chest, with some differences:
  • If a BSB is simply dropped, it is "proximity" owned. Anyone can pick it up if the person who dropped it is not close by and they have pickup rights in its location, such as on a deed, in a house, or in the wilderness.
  • If a BSB is planted, it is "fully" owned. Only the player who planted it can move or pick it up.
  • When someone puts an item into a BSB that it does not already store, they are the "proximity" owner of that consolidated item.
  • Others may add additional items to that consolidated item, but the ownership remains with the initial player.
  • On PvP servers, items that have proximity ownership can be stolen.

Locks, permissions, and destruction

• A BSB can be locked with a large padlock or small padlock, which prevents use until unlocked unless permissions are set.
• A locked BSB prevents anyone from using it unless they unlock it first or are listed on its permissions.
• Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent deed restrictions.
• Bulk storage bins can be bashed off-deed and picked up if they are 70+ damage or 10 quality and below.
• When bashing a BSB, the items inside are destroyed.
• When a BSB is destroyed, all items inside it are destroyed.

Storage behavior

• The bulk storage bin will visually change when more than half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8,000 volume.
• Volume and weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.
• You can store more than 100 objects in a BSB, depending on volume.
• BSBs stop all decay of objects put into them if kept on a deed with more than 30 days upkeep.
• Similar items placed into a BSB will have their quality averaged.
• BSBs allow players to combine items that are not normally possible to combine, such as logs, and split large combined items into smaller ones, such as lumps, cotton, and woodscraps.
• BSBs allow players to remove damage from unrepairable items without the mend spell, at the cost of reducing the item's quality by a percentage equal to the damage.
• Averaging the quality of items put in is not always beneficial, such as when high quality materials are required for improving.
• 5% of each stored item is lost every 30 days if not kept on a deed with more than 30 days upkeep.
• Any enchants, renames, and other special characteristics on items put in are lost. Items with enchants generally cannot be placed into a BSB.
• Rare items cannot be put into a BSB.
• Partial items that cannot be combined are kept in the bin when using "As many as I can carry."
