I realize that the chests and cabinets are strictly for show but is there a way to store personal items or resources in your house??? if so how would you do that

thanks

Either drop them on florr to store or put in pack and drop that...The pack one has a draw back because the itens in it dont appeare again until you pick up pack and i have heard of people lossing things this way too..

hope that helps

Dropping things on the ground in a house doesn't seem safe with all the major bugs still out there.... does it work all the time or is there still a problem sometimes?

What about storage compartments? Can you store items in them?

I have a backpack hanging on the wall, and I can acess it just fine without having to equip it. I think there is a bug that they are going to fix where toolchests and something else are actually supposed to be able to store things. What's the point of having a house if you can't have places to put your stuff.

A better question, how do you drop something! I was trying to give some stim-packs to a new friend of mine, and we were unable to open a trade window (this happens to me a LOT). So I thought I'd just drop them on the ground and she could pick them up.... wrongo. I had three options, Use, Examine and Destroy... No drop that I could see

*damns the "no edit" option *

By the way, how did youhang that backpack on your wall? I bought a Corellian house yesterday, (which I find out here today that they are very ugly , anyway...) But I haven't placed it yet. I'm trying to find out a little info on the housing system before I do. Are their any decent links to some "good to know" information on housing in this game as of yet?

its funny Whats the purpose of having a house in the game " Aside from feeling important " if ya cant store items there and arent turning it into a shop??

1. Dropping items in a house, only the owner can do it right now. Once you drop it only the owner can pick it up. Soon they are supposed to fix a bug where any one on the admin list for the house can drop or pick up. It doesn't work right now.

2. Trading window can be such a pain.

3. As far as hanging the backpack on the wall, I just got as close to the wall as possible and hit drop. I don't know if it is really hanging or just floating in are, but it does not look like it is sitting on the floor.

4. House benefits are few and far between from what I can tell but here are a few:

Entertainers and medics can do the same thing in a house as a cantina or hosptial. So a house is a better place to heal than a camp.

You can put faction mission terminal in your house, you can put crafting stations in your house. Your house can provide a lot of functions that typically require you to run back to town.

Where do you get a faction mission terminal? That would be really cool

Benefits to a house other than looking cool:

Well I am an artisan so i have my own crafting stations in the back room.

I do store stuff there,and a nasty bug took 3k of ore from me, i placed a bug report and bang, last night, ores back...thanks Q!!! (or whoever)

when it gets ruff when and you are fighting tuskans in your front yard, like my little commune was this weekend, and you are close to dying, not too close though, you can go hide in your house and not die...that ones pretty cool

you can invite over attractive entertainers that can do "private" performances..maybe that s just me

Sell your wares with a vendor

have a safe place to log right out of cities

there are benefits to have a home and they dont have them done yet.

oh and if properly maintained they wont rot away like guns, so its an investment

Agreed, Also (I don't know about the rest of you) but it feels like My home. I log in my home and out and I always have that feeling of being home in the world. I can craft, store some items like clothes I find on Swoopers and I build my Structure Walls with my own crafting station and drop them in the house as well as spare anything I may have. It's actually pretty nice having your own home.

If you are wearing something and you drop it in your house, it will stay in the same position it was when you were wearing it. This allows you to set up a "display" like on a mannequin if you have a tailoring or armor shop.

Just put on the whole getup, then stand near the wall facing out. Drop each item in the set without moving at all, and boom, you've got a floating clothing display (backpacks included I assume).

Be careful when fleeing to your house for safety. A friend ran into my house and said he still got killed. I haven't gotten details on how that happened, but consider yourself warned
