I run solo with a tiny VG base. Pretty empty except for the 18 STORAGE RACKS FILLED WITH SALVAGE that I need to run around to each time to figure out whats in them if I log off for more then 1 or 2 days.

Here are some ideas for SG/VG bases.

Storage index computer
I'm tired of looking through all my bins I can only imagine larger SG/VG bases.
The concept
Can use the same graphics as the IO computer but make it a different color glow instead of blue to differentiate between the two. It cost 1 storage rack space and you need 1 per workshop.
What it does
Basically the computers are tied together and index and categorize all your salvage. So instead of looking in 18 bins for 3 Iron bars. You go to the computer where you can then pull them out from there. You can also place items into the bins from the computer as well.

OR if this is too much

1 computer takes up the spot of one salvage rack. That computer then Organizes all the salvage. Basically in the background the computer is a temporary storage space and the computer uses that to ideally put all like salvage in the same rack. So if you have 3 Iron bars in 3 different bins in 3 different rooms. The computer will pull them together and place them in 1 storage bin.

What would be nice in conjunction with this would be a way to label Storage racks as tech or arcane or even unique names. EG Workshop Alpha Storage Rack 1. So for those with big bases that might want to name the workshops.

So now once all organized you would look at the computer to see where exactly are those Iron Bars. It would then spit out the Workshop and storage bin number. Again it would be nice if you could place items into the computer to be stored. So one place to drop off storage but you would have to go pick up the storage.

Or yet another even more simpler idea.

1 computer that just tells you all the places a piece of salvage is located. So again with the 3 Iron bar. It would stay Workshop 1 Tech storage bin 1 , Workshop 1 Arcane storage bin 3 and Workshop 2 Tech storage bin 7.
Have the bins numbered clockwise from the outside in while facing north. So at least players have a reference point to start from when looking.

Anything would be better then looking through 18 bins and counting ( next workshop is going up tonight )

And unless you've got all 18 stocked up with rare and hard to find salvage, it seems a little pointless. If you're hoarding stuff like Boresights, that can be had for pennies on the market, you're kind of wasting your time and energy.

Dec out.
