Storage Box
Storage Building • Tier 1
Overview
The Storage Box is your first inventory expansion solution in StarRupture, providing essential space for organizing the countless resources, tools, and items you'll collect. With a capacity of 20 item stacks, these simple wooden containers help prevent inventory clutter and allow you to specialize storage areas for different material types. Storage boxes are cheap to build and require no power, making them perfect for early-game organization. As your base grows, you'll build dozens of these containers, each dedicated to specific resource categories.
