Visual Storage is the complete remake of the ASE RP Visual Storage Mod.

This mod adds resource specific storage that dynamically change in appearance based on the quantity of stored resources.

This not only adds a layer of realism to your resource management but it also serves as a practical tool for players to quickly assess their resource status at a glance. Watch as your stockpiles grow or just enjoy the visuals that the mod offers by setting your own manual visuals and colors.

In addition to the Aesthetics that the mod brings, it also offers a lot of quality of life for inventory management with the integration of wireless crafting, quick depositing of resources for you and your dinos via the dropbox and crane, and the ability to easily distribute those resources to your chosen storage containers with ease.

Want to change something with the mod? Likely there is an option for what you are looking for in the admin menu which offers tons of options to disable various systems, change inventory settings on the fly, or change the fuel type that the pantry uses.
