Tek storage box question

Can you store Snow Owl Pellets in the Tek storage box container?

 

 

[Brainpox]

No. Nothing perishable. You can store them on gachas and dung beetles. They last a very long time and if you park the owl next to a gacha it will just fill up its inventory with them and you can take them as you need them.

Any items that can contains custom data cannot be put in the Tek Storage. Which includes perishable as @Brainpox mentioned, because they have a Spoil Timer field that won't be the same for all items. Snow Owl Pellet also have a Nitrogen field that won't be the same, etc. Same for gear, weapons, etc. since they can have different stats. However, there are a few issues with the Tek Storage that you should be warned about;

• If you are on official, or on a server that have fast decay for unsnapped structures, they will have 12 hours decay timer unless you snap 2 or more together.
• If you try to place a substitute resource, the game won't reject the transfer but will drop the other. For example, if your storage contains Cementing Paste and you attempt to transfer Achatina Paste, then your Cementing Paste will be dropped (usually inside the box) and will be replaced by Achatina Paste and you will lose what was dropped unless you pick it up.
• If you are PvE, you should set a pin-code on your storage because anyone on the server will be able to withdraw stacks from them otherwise.
• Gacha Crystals can be placed in the storage, but they will be empty on withdraw.

Yeah, listen to this info here. We have robbed so many un pin-coded tek boxes in old bases. Keep them all pin-coded.

That is most likely caused by the radiation of the obelisks messing with the three-dimensional space. I suspect they are also responsible for the Vault being able to store ~8 times more items than the storage box while only being ~4 times its size. ?

Don't do that! Or, he will descend. ?

[GrumpyBear]

When stuff goes in, it's in a quantum state, it's there and not there at the same time.

Any idea when the dedis will be locked like every other container and not needing a pin to prevent others out of tribe from accessing them? PVE

Only dung beetles store them for long time. Gachas dont extend pellet spoiling time.

No idea, but I know they are aware since I remember they replied to a thread discussing it. I'm sure it will be in the patch notes when they get around to it.

If you have Achatina and Cementing Paste into your inventory, and attempt to  into a Tek Storage that dedicated to Cementing Paste, it will allow the transfer, but one or the other will be dropped and will be lost unless you pick it back up. Obviously the same for Wood, Fungal Wood, and any other resources that can be substituted with another.

Another fun fact about tek dedi boxes: If you put halloween stuff in it, it'll disapear after the event is over but the box will still say it contains those items(including numbers on the outside)

 

 

When you try to withdraw it says inventory limit reached

Hmm ill have to test again. Last time i was unable to deposit achatina paste into cementing paste storage. Nothing happened when pressing deposit all.

Fungal wood - you can store a max of 1 stack, after that any stacks added vanish.  that wasn't a fun experience.  lost alot of fungal wood.
