Storage Does Not Make Outposts
I made this mod because it didn’t make sense to me that just having a small chest next to a node would make everyone know you are there.
All I did was change the variable:
creates player town
to false on all storage containers that had Storage: "Material" in the editor.
I was in experimental branch when I made this mod so you may need to also be in experimental to use it.
Let me know if it works in stable so that I can make one for it if this one doesn’t work.
Edit 9/9/18 5:07pm: just did some testing and it seems that ore too close to towns will not activate the auto haul of the storage container. When I set it up too close to the town of Drifter’s Last my miner didn’t haul the ore out of the node and stopped when it was full even when I had the job for hauling on; when I took it out of the node he immediately stored it. But when I went far enough to start an outpost and built it there the auto haul job worked as entended.
I don’t know if I will be able to fix this so for now make sure you are far enough away from towns when you place the Storage.
