Since DS2 is unlikely to ever receive mods i've devised a self imposed challenge.
It is 3 rules:
• Shelters don't actually have chiral printers and cannot fabricate items. Only Distro Centers and Fort Knots can fabricate gear for me. They have the clearance to print weapons, porter gear.
• The DHV Magellan can store gear but not make any. Its storage is limited to 60 items per type (two tabs worth "weapons 1 - weapons 2" to minimize endless scrolling.
If i look a the Magellan's schematic there can't be that much room for storage considering the entire back of the ship must be taken by the propulsion, life support systems could be mainly housed below the quarter deck and both flanks are occupied by two large intake ducts in a V shape connected to the engines. The vehicle hangar stores vehicles and contaminated raw materials, the rooms on the bridge deck store maintenance supplies (the engine room is accessed via this upper deck), stationery, food (who's the cook?), medical, not Sam's treasure trove. It has to be all located in the Store Room and Armory.
• What about the materials which accumulate at shelters? It's the prepper's trash generated by the recycling of their day to day activities. It must be taken out at every opportunity in order to stay on top of it.
It makes sense. Porters bring in items and leave with a bit of trash. How else is the waste disposal of these shelters supposed to function? Did you think NPC porters carry pieces of Metals or Resins to repair structures even though they never seem to do that?
This piece of gameplay has the benefit of weighting Sam down on his trips complicating the traversal. Finding tar to sink it into, bringing the garbage back to the distro center, do some illegal dumping behind a rock or use the DHV Magellan if it's parked nearby and i dare say there are some among you who already deduced the name's double meaning. That's right. The DHV Magellan or, to spell it out, Detritus Hauling Vehicle.
