Resource Organizing - Signs, Bins, Crates, Pallets, Mass Storage

Adds new buildable objects to the DISPLAYS build menu category. There are 4 rows with variations chosen with left-right arrows. The first item in the list is a large text object describing what items are in that row, since icons cannot be added yet.

Note: After the August 2024 update, containers built inside ships no longer connect to the workbenches or the build system. They still work properly in an outpost. No known solution...

Signs: The signs are using the whiteboard lettering objects included in the game assets. This is the only set of letters that have lower case. All 47 Inorganic Resources. Iron, Aluminum, etc. 7 Organic resources 6 Manufactured resources 8 General categories. Weapons, Suits, Misc... The first row of signs is for mounting on a wall, crate, pallet, etc. There is also a floor mount to adapt the sign to most horizontal surfaces. The second row of signs are mounted on a post. These can be placed near a large array of storage containers. Unfortunately, the standard storage containers for solid, liquid, gas, etc will not allow anything to be attached to them. The signs cost 1 Aluminum, 1 Iron to build.

Bins, Crates and Pallets: The open top bins allow you to drop resources from your inventory, grab them and place them inside. This is technically the most efficient way to store resources but it is the most time consuming. There are 6 open top bins, including a mining cart. The crates are all containers with high capacity. The description shows the capacity. The workshops and outpost build system will pull from all of the crates, but you cannot connect any of the crates to the manufacturing system. Some of the crates like barrels and tanks will only hold liquid or gas. All other crates will hold anything. There are 25 containers. The 6 pallets are for stacking mass quantity items described in the next section. These items cost 1 Aluminum, 1 Iron to build.

Mass Storage: The mass storage items will build large Ingots, tanks and bundles of resources. Each item requires 500 of the resource to build. (250 if you have Outpost Engineering rank 4) Later, when you need the resource, simply delete the item from the build mode and it will be added back to ship cargo. It will overfill ship cargo if needed.

When you build these mass storage items it will pull from all of your outpost storage containers first, then ship cargo, then your inventory. Then, when you delete the item it will be sent to your cargo hold and overflow the capacity if required. You can also go into your ship and build the mass storage items in a HAB, then when you want to sell them just delete them and the material goes into your cargo hold.

It also looks really great in your cargo HAB.

Decorative Items: 2 Concrete Pads to make a flat surface for pallets and crates. A Ladder to reach the high stacks of materials. A pallet jack and some other decorations. These items cost 1 Aluminum, 1 Iron to build.
