Using a container and item options
Private storage
To store whole robots, equipment and industrial materials a free storage is guaranteed on every terminal.
Newly bought items automatically get into the private storage in packaged condition. To use them, you need to unpack them first.
To open the options menu of an item, just right-click on an it.
Robot cargo hold
Cargo holds function like to regular storages, but have a limited capacity. Note: the total volume of the items (ammunition, mined materials, etc.) cannot exceed the cargo capacity.
Field container
A field container is a useful storage device for Agents to exchange items. Easy to use: buy one on the market, place it inside your activated robot's cargo hold before deploying onto the terrain. While you're outside the terminal, open your cargo, right-click on the field container then place it on the ground. By giving the container's security code, you can prevent any unwanted Agent from opening it.
Anyone who knows this code can put in or withdraw items. When a container is deployed it cannot be put back into the cargo hold. If no one opens the container for 10 minutes, it destroys itself.
Corporation storages
The main difference between private and corporation storages is the access level. Private storage can be only be opened by its owner. The authorized members of the corporation can set the access level of each storage owned by the corporation. These access levels can be modified in the corporation management window's Storages tab.
Corporation storages - unlike private storages - are not free of charge. The regular fee is displayed while renting the storage.
Authorized members can create, rename and destroy new folders in the corporation storages.
Item options
By right-clicking on any of the stored items, you can open the options-list of the selected item. The general options are:
Information
All data about the item's properties, components and about the extensions that you need to install in order to use the item.
Package
Items in packaged state require less cargo capacity, making transportation easier.
Sell
You can sell the item on the market.
Repair
In case there's a repair shop available at the terminal, you can repair damaged items for NIC.
Recycle
Recycle the selected item in the local recycling plant. This process disassembles the item, leaving commodities behind.
Insure - Robots only
Insure your robot to get some refund in case the robot is destroyed.
Unstack
If you store a large amount of an item in one stack, you can now divide the one big stack into several smaller stacks.
Market information
You can check the item's current average price on the market.
Destroy
To get rid of the item without any trace.
Create container
You can create extra containers in the storage to make item management easier.
Research - Kernels only
Kernels are the core information holders of the enemy technology. Researching a kernel is the first step in the building of an industryman's career. Click on research to uncover a part of an alien prototype and add it to your knowledge base.
Refresh list
Each inventory is - theoretically - refreshing itself, but this function is recommended if a fresh item list is certainly needed.
Selecting all items
Auxiliary function, if You want to move, stack or trash the whole stock of the container.
Gather
If You have several stacks of items of the same kind, wherever they may be, can be stacked into a pile. You will have an option whether to gather this item from your robots' cargo hold as well or not.
