Containers and their capacity
Posted: Fri Mar 29, 2013 2:04 pm
Today I was working on an Excel sheet about the capacities of containers and it might be useful for others as well.
The cost of resources are based on the following:
I was a bit surprised to notice that excluding the stone sargophagus, the chest has the best capacity to cost ratio, even though it takes a long time to build. Overall you seem to get a better ratio the bigger the items get. I think there would still be room for plenty of new storage items.
