Architect Archive

Ive searched in variuos boards and looked through these boards as well. I know it should be here and maybe I am overlooking soemthing.. Is there a link here thats an official link that tell the exact storage limit per house based on style? If so why is it not posted in an obvious place as I would think this is a common question asked by many. I also dont understand the rational used in the allocation of slots used for each type structure. From what I have seen so far it looks like medium houses have a 150 limit. So based on 2 slots being used thats 75 items per slot. Now large houses from what I have seen only have 250 item limit for 6 slots used. It does not seem like the math used was very fair. anyone would be crazy to upgrade to a large.. you could put up 3 mediums and have 450 item storage. NOW to take it a bit further. Lets say you want to put up a guild hall for yourself and friends.. From what I have seen they still only have 250 items limit.. HMM ... for 9 slots... I would think a guild hall should have its limit based on the owner having 150 items to store. with each other member of the guild having a 50 item storage limit.. this would promote bringing a grouop togther to a common place and would also allow the guilds members to placea sall container and have access to items used for guild functions such as armor for hunts, special clothing etc... The have made the guild halls use 9 slots and for that you get 250 items storage? Also I see that all factories use 1 slot with the exception of a structure factory.. Hmm that one is 2 slots... Now what the heck is the deal there? An architect needs the slots open more then most other professions... when you deal with craftin gitems using 20k to 60k ores used you sure as heck cant do that with out a LOT of harvesters which are one slot each.. So why does the structure factory use 2 slots? only because they thought it should look big? LOL Give me tin box that makes structure modules and Id be happy Long as it was one slot.. It looks like to me they are NOT wanting guild halls or they want players to have more than one account to have a guild.. This does not seem like what they say they were trying to accomplish, which was bringing players together.. In my instance being an architect I could not place a hall as my structure factory would no longer be able to be placed. I could have one harvester and to decorate the place nicely I wouldeat up the items storage li,it.. Maybe Im wrong and have not looked inthe right places, but if this is the case then how about a link in plain site for all to see thats explains the reasons behind these slot versus item count useage..

I feel the following list would better reflect slot useage versus items stored. All structures to use same amount of slots no matter which planet they are for.

Small houses 1 slot 75 items

All medium houses 2 slots 150 items

All large houses 4 slots 300 items

Guild Halls 6 slots (with 300 items for owner to allow for decorations etc) 50 items per guild member for storgae of guild related items etc)

ALL factories 1 slot each

All Harvesters 1 slot each

From I have seen the best deal if your looking for item storage is 5 medium houses which would be 750 item storage.. Others please post ideas along these lines to get a feel for player thoughts reguarding this issue.

Thanks for taking the time to read my rant and good day to all

Holo (or some dev type person) posted a while back when they did the changes.

75 items per lots used to a maximum of 250 items in one structure.;

Yea, it used to be based on the size of the house but, they made the change because of database issues.

You could place 6 smalls and get 900 storage slots for less than the daily cost of a PA hall (250 item max).

You could place 3 smalls and get 450 storage for less than than the daily cost of a large (250 items max).

You could place 2 smalls and get 300 storage for less than the daily cost of a medium (150 items max).

That is if you are not worried about how many lots you use. You would of course need someone to place the 6th house in place of a PA Hall.
