You'd buy an empty shipping crate from some kind of store (probably The Oak Depot) for a price of like $500-1000.
The crate will have to be mounted onto a structure, which will come at a price of like $25k at the same store, and will have surface that'll consume ores/woods the enter it and put it in the mounted crate (only if one is mounted of course). The contents of the crate will not be retrievable, and will stay in forever.
On the bright side, the crate will have a menu that shows all the contents when interacted with, and in the same menu, a progression bar will be at the top, showing how close you are to filling the crate, as well as a unit counter, which is obviously going show the amount of units of ore/wood is currently in the crate.
When the player decides they're done filling the crate or the crate is full, they can take it off the crate-loader and keep the crate on their base for later use, or bring it to any place that you can sell things, and you'll be able to sell the crate and its contents for the value of only the contents, meaning the player will lose the amount of money they've spent on the crate

I like this idea
You like losing money then lime sellner guy
What?
Loosing $500-$1000 and having the benefit of storing a heap of ores in a much smaller place then being able to sell all those ores in 1 transaction is a win for me
seems interesting
Oh ok this is a better explanation
What does the 25k mean then?
That's a structure where you would mount the boxes
👀
If i read that right you can't retrive anything from the crates
then being able to sell all those ores in 1 transaction is a win for me
Correct it's for selling bulk amounts of wood or ore not for storage
Mhm
hell yeah shipping crates
This is a good suggestion, however I see a massive flaw in your idea that needs to be addressed asap. The ore that's put into the crate needs to have a way for it come back out, otherwise we might accidentally put the wrong ores in... Or worse... magnetite
So I propose a solution, how about we add lids to the crates that can be opened and closed to reach in and grab whatever is inside out of the box? Doesn't that seem like a better idea..
And as for the crates, like a chisel they will automatically compress down ore into a more portable state of solid mass
And anchor them down automatically, so the ore does not cause lag by bouncing around inside the box in mass quantities
Now as for the crate itself, when the ore is sold, the crate itself should be sold for half price of what you originally bought it for, that way you the crate doesn't become too op, and will have a nerf to prevent people from overusing them. Also, you'll get a fraction of your money back! Isn't that nice?
Or just don’t put the wrong ores inside. I personally think that the structure is enough insurance and people losing ore are a severe minority who just need to learn from their mistake
No, I absolutely despise you even saying that. Such a dumb idea, people are human and prone to mistakes, myself included. Unless you agree with me, your suggestion is trash.
My brother in christ, it's a game, why you gotta make it personal 💀
I hate to break it to you, but the game is not supposed to babysit you, and I thoroughly believe that the game is not supposed to make up for your own mistakes.
Terrible suggestion, mine was better.
His suggestion sucks, mine was better.
Ok bro chill. It’s only as suggestion
You make a suggestion to be criticised. Not to have everyone love it
Very true.
