Armorsmith Archive

As one of the server largest AS, I mine/let mine a lot of resourses 5-10mil mining contracts, depending on usage

but having 15 medium houses to store all resourses and another 10 (lot pre CU loot what is not stacket ) for the loot is a hard time to manage,

some guys told me to dump it on a vendor .... but that adds to to the max vendor items (master merchant) where I use the full 4000 items for my vendors

resently topt the 200mil units barrier and need extra houses but BAH need truswordy lots for that

Any one has a good workable solution for this????

well I don't mine that much, really kinda ludacrouse to me to mine more then 1mill units of any resource. But that's me, a pretty average smith on a very small server. One small house is enough for me, with a toolbox named for each main type of resource I use. Plus I have a backpack that holds all the resoruces to make any armor appearance.

With the vendor option you can store 50 items in a pack or container so that way 100 items only takes up 2 of your 4k spots. But in your case it would be 200mil resources / 100k per container = 2k items = 40 of your 4k slots taken up. And there, you get all your used up lots back.

You can then use those free lots to harvest more resources. And then you'll be ruler of all the resource hoarders. (Evil laugh) j/k

I've been told by the merchant correspondent that all the items in a pack on a vendor ARE counted against your total, although the pack isn't. The pack and its contents are counted as one item if someone offers it to a vendor. I'll check this next time I'm in game.

I, too, stored all my resources on a vendor in my workshop. Very handy. I keep a working supply of various resources in five or six packs in the same room.

items in a pack do count for as many are in the pack if that helps. I store on a vendor in individual packs some of individual packs of a specific resource and some in named resource pack... I dont ever plan on ever having enough armor to threaten my vendor cap so not much worry for me there.

I don't mine quite that much, 1-2m of good generics like metal, steel and polymer, 500k of the other stuff. I use store houses and also the input hoppers of my factories. Each factory gets nominated to store different classes of resource, hides, bones in one, metals in another, ore in another, layer resources in another etc.

The houses act as back up stores for the factories so that if I were to lose a factory due to a bug etc I would still have some of the same resources in reverse

If you have JTLS you can store in two luxury yachts.

i was gonna ask this question i have about 30 mil of resources and still loads more i need i dont think there is an easy solution

2 large houses atm in named backpacks

shame that vendor backpack uses space otherwise it wasn't a big problem to hold it close to my workshop

any more have some imput?

I like this way, restocking vendors is a pain, I have resource in about 12 factories. Works great, and they only cost like 300k a year, beside don't have room on my vendors, Need to have a sale, lol.
