The game is horribly boring as well. Played it once and thats enough. Such an uninspired paint by numbers affair. Cosmo being involved gave me high hopes it would be a fun swinging race type game. Nope just web the pillars. Yawn.

I do because it sounds like we're getting a cosmo swing mission. Been waiting for something like that since the bloodstalker race mission on gen 1. It was so fun when it actually worked but got ruined because of the really bad rubber banding in ASE.

A no PVP town on the map itself sounds cool (would work fine in PVE) but usually people just end up camping the exit to kill anyone that crosses the threshold back into the PVP zone. Thats how it went in Rust and the Division anyway.

I wouldn't put it past them to time this intentionally when Ab released and the other servers would be low.

Sorry guys all papa Shi cares about is the almighty dollar.

My network has been expanded to the fertile lake for angler deployment. Feels good sending a slot capped storage box of pearls back to main base. I cant imagine farming without this system. Its gonna be the first thing I try to establish on a new map from now on. Im sure its a godsend for transfering loot back home after a raid as well.

Pretty wild theyre taking down that many servers already, less than a year into ASA.

Or giving seeds. Its holding up my cosmo breeding.

A shoulder robot that could link to the storage box network would actually be sick and would fit extinction pretty well.

Very cool. Thanks for confirming it works.

All you need is power and to wait the 5 minute timer for the boxes to turn on. Don't ever power them off if you can help it or you'll have to wait for the timer again.

I agree that it should have that same O key functionality, but if you place the storage box next to whatever container you want to dump the materials into, its still a breeze to offload. Mine is sandwiched in-between 2 forges and a materials vault, all which I can reach standing in one spot. My character has 600 weight and it only takes me like 30-40 seconds to offload all the aforementioned materials into my 2 forges.

Quick explanation of the LSB for any uninitiated parties: Its a 50 slot box about the size of a small wooden storage box. It requires power. Once powered you can place one down and then a second in another location. The boxes will then share inventory as in something placed in box A can be removed from box B. My current set up on Ab official is a main base hidden in the hazard zone and an outpost hidden in the blue zone. Previously I would have to put on a hazard suit on and travel between bases to transfer items or materials. It was a pain even with the cosmo. Now with the LSB, I have one placed in the main and one in the outpost. I put Mr Anky (podded) and a chainsaw in the main LSB and fast travel to the outpost where I toss him out to farm. The 50 slot LSB allows me to farm 24 stacks of metal and 24 stacks of wood (exactly 2 forges worth), along with the anky and chainsaw. Once the box is loaded I fast travel to main base and unload the box, which I have conveniently park next to 2 forges. It saves SO MUCH time and effort. I flipping love it. Anyone else using these amazing little contraptions? My next mission is to craft the robot butler and see if I can configure him to unload the boxes into the forges WHILE I'm farming.

The whole idea of ASA in its current state is to make snail money, improving the series is secondary. End of story. When you accept this fact, you either enjoy the game anyway or head for greener pastures (Dayz Sakhal for example).
