Description:

Advanced storage shelves that transfer items between different map tiles. The Exports Shelf sends items to a linked Imports Shelf, enabling automated, cross-map resource management.

Perfect for large, multi-settlement (or multi-floor) colonies, supplying materials to establish a new outpost, or sending valuable resources back to your main colony from one of your caravans.

Features
  • Exports Shelf: Sends items to a linked Imports Shelf on a different map tile.
  • Imports Shelf: Receives items from a linked Exports Shelf.
  • Auto-Transfer: Toggle automatic transfers via the Exports Shelf interface.
  • Cross-Compatibility: Fully compatible with MultiFloors, enabling cross-level transfers.


Usage Instructions

  1. Construction:
    • Build the Exports Shelf and Imports Shelf from the Furniture tab.
    • Ensure they are placed on separate map tiles (or floors with MultiFloors).

  2. Linking Shelves:
    • Open the Exports Shelf interface.
    • Click the ‘Link imports shelf’ button.
    • Select the map containing the Imports Shelf.
    • Link the Imports Shelf by selecting it from the list.

  3. Unlinking/Re-Linking:
    • Use the Exports Shelf interface to unlink or re-link shelves.

  4. Power and Activation:
    • Ensure both shelves are powered to function.
    • Toggle Auto-Transfer on or off via the Exports Shelf interface.

  5. Transfer Limits:
