Dwarveloper Log #48 - Storage Chests & Filters

Dwarves!

Hope you all enjoyed the demo and thank you for all your feedback!

We've been working on a few things this week!



Storage Chest

• Storage Chests are a new type of construction available from the game start.
  
• You will have the ability to build Storage Chests without researching any tech, but they do cost a Copper Ingot to build.
  

Storage Filters

• A very basic filter system has been added to storage objects. It will give us a good foundation for more improvements.
  
• By default a storage has no filter set up, which will make the storage chest or room accept all types of items.
  
• A drop-down menu has been added to storage chests and rooms where the player can select specifically which types of items are allowed in the storage.
  
• The filter works in the same way as the inventory page in the ledger.
  

Hauling

• Normally the dwarves won't haul items from the inventory of a room into a storage (they do in the demo, but that is a bug!).
  
• A storage chest or room with a filter will override this so that a storage for Copper Ingots for example will be filled as soon as some ingots are available in the Foundry.
  
• 
  

Until next time!
