Can we get the sophisticated drawer mod added? That'd be amazing

#

We have sophisticated storage?

#

People keep getting confused about sophisticated storage and drawers...
All because the mod dev stupidly named their drawer not drawer...
It's called "limited barrels"

Might need to petition the mod dev to do something about it lmao

quartz wedge
#

Oh I thought they confused sophisticated storage with functional drawers

#

Barrels is a better name, I prefer the distinction

#

They should at least make it so it shows up in JEI when typing "drawer"

This mod

Hell yes

no

#

sophisticated storage is the same

#

both would make one bloat 😔

drawers >>> limited barrels. the stack upgrades are way cheaper, compacting is far less complicated and easier to do, you don't need an ender pearl for the configuring card/key

I mean that is the very definition of bloat. 90% of the mod overlaps

fading sparrow
#

Yeah, drawers make organaztion cleaner in my opinion. I hate having chests full of stuff

quartz wedge
#

Then use limited barrels

Armory for storing a bunch of swords and armor pieces
Storage controller for mass storing items after an adventure
I love drawer walls personally. Seeing all my items like that makes me happy lol.

Limited barrels give you the same optic basically

Sophisticated Storage also has a storage controller that work similarly to the older drawer mod (meaning it's needs blocks touching)
So you can do the same wall of drawer.
Sophisticated Storage does compacting too, and liquid maybe? (there are tank upgrades for backpacks but idk if there the same for block storage)

Also Armory is 1000 slots, and needs an external storage interface to work, meaning it doesn't work with it's own mod controller. It only stores items with nbt tags (there both more items and less items then you think that have nbt tags). And honestly just use a wall of chest, you can put items that you'll ever have 2 of and don't have nbt tags, so they can't go in the Armory, and things that do stack even if they have nbt tag (as long as the tags are the same) and they'll take more slots in the Armory (1000 slots isn't as that big in reality lol) then if you just use a chest(barrel work too) with stack upgrades.

Doesn't do liquid, armory is 4000 slots actually, so the only thing comparable to it is qio in raw single block storage

#

however, ae2 gets pretty close at 1260 possible per single block

#

sophisticated storage caps out at like 140 per block

fading sparrow
#

Ae2, in my experience also has issues with swords and armor since they take up so many bytes per item. 🤔 with simply swords and bows i figured the armory would be a good way to handle them.

quartz wedge
#

Bytes is not ur issue, it's types. U can think of each type as at least a slot, so ae2 outperforms every other mod at storing non stackables in storage density

#

Other than qio ofc

#

Common misunderstanding of bytes in AE2 disks :
1 byte doesn't = 1 item,
If you fill a disk with 63 different items one of each, it uses half the bytes of the disk. So no need for 64k storage disks in most cases

fading sparrow
#

I thought 1 item regardless of size was 8 bytes. So if I put 1 cobble in it takes up x amount of space regardless

quartz wedge
#

Each item is 1 bit, 8 bits per byte

#

Each type is 62 bytes I believe not that really ends up mattering

fading sparrow
#

Nah bytes dont matter in the end,

This is what I was talking about, I havent tested myself but found this intresting.
This means that 8 items would be 1 byte, and a full stack of 64 would also be 1 byte.

quartz wedge
#

That is correct, the smallest addressable amount is 1 byte

#

The size of a type depends on the size of the disk

#

Its (Disk size * 8) / 1000

#

63 types will always fill half the disk
