Downside is that you don’t get the improved performance of less visible items.
Each shelf works as a stockpile (though for the one with multiple shelves you probably want it to count as one), so items are still visible, but since they don’t litter the ground they don’t give the negative appeal. Shelves, the kind on the wall and/or the kind that stands on its own, with multiple shelves. If two curtains are next to each other they could share a leg. If placed in the middle of the room it has two wooden “legs” as support, but if next to a wall it could be attached to the wall instead. As big as a regular door and works like a sliding door so it automatically opens up when someone goes near it. If we could craft a curtain/drape it could be a fitting way to hide the crate (though it might not be the most fitting for the blacksmith). Just throwing out some more alternatives to the “crate in workshop problem”. – any time you can inject story into the players’ choice of decoration/building/design is, IMO, a really good thing! In that case, crates would be a short-term solution or a quick way to box up and move several items at once, while the long-term storage would be the specially designed shelves/etc. It means more work on the dev team’s end, but might also encourage players to think in terms of “this building is an apothecary, this building is a mason’s workshop” etc.

The simplest solution, IMO, is to have “rough crates” (or just basic crates) as a level 1 craft, and then the fine crates have a neutral impact but obviously they’re a fair bit harder to get.Īlternatively, something along the lines of Finetems Mod or Home Sweet Home mod, where there are specific containers designed to fit into the hearthlings’ spaces, might solve this issue. It feels a little off that we’re investing in making a significantly pretty workshop in order to overcome the minor penalty and have that minor positive as a result… it would make more sense to invest that prettiness in commonly visited spaces (town square, dining hall, etc.) Of course this all boils down to how much time is spent around the crates and I suspect in most towns that will be less time than my hearthlings do. However, it means that decorating the workshop to overcome that -1 is both trivial, and pretty much mandatory. And yeah, it seems like the -1 won’t be a major impact. That said, I agree with your other points it does fit.
The Dwarven kingdoms (when we get them) might have the skill and resources to use top-tier vaults in all their workshops, but most towns aren’t going to spend a lot of time making fancier storage items just as drop-off points to keep items near their workshop. I also like to place storage in my workshops, and crates just fit/look better for that aesthetic IMO. At the same time, I feel like my hearthlings would be in and out of there constantly – I’m an unashamed hoarder of virtual resources hahaha!. If you can keep the hearthlings out of the storage room most of the time, then yeah that would have the intended effect.
