Shippable

Shippables are movable structures. It is a collective name for Containers, Packaged Vehicles, Emplacements, and the Concrete Mixer. They need to be moved and transported using specially designed vehicles, and cannot be moved on their own.

Use
Shippables can be packaged by going into the interface of said shippable and click the 'package' button. The items are, when packaged, unable to function. To unpack a shippable, and access its contents and/or operate it, you need to press  (default). Both packing and unpacking takes a few seconds.

Cranes and Stationary Cranes can be used to pick up shippables; which then can be loaded onto a vehicle like the Flatbed Truck or Freighter. To unload the shippable, you will have to use the crane once again to pick the item from the loading bay.

Shippables can also be submitted to various structures, depending on the type. Packaged vehicles, Vehicle Crates and Emplacements can be submitted to the Storage Depot, where they enter the stockpile, while containers will only submit their contents. To do so, place the shippable on the metal pad and click submit. The contents of a Resource Containers can be submitted directly into Refineries.

Types of Shippables
There are 4 types of Shippables, with each their own function: Uncategorised is the Concrete Mixer, which can make Concrete Materials.
 * The Container, used for storing a large quantity of items; useful for storage and long distance transport.
 * The Packaged Vehicle, used for transporting vehicles. These can be done in the field and are useful for slow vehicles.
 * The Vehicle Crate, used for transporting a group of vehicles. These can only be produced in a Mass Production Factory.
 * The Emplacement, which is a deployable gun. These are player-controlled defence structures.

Packaged Vehicles
Packaged vehicles should not be confused with Vehicle Crates. Vehicle crates are made in the Mass Production Factory, where they contain sets of 3 vehicles which have to be submitted to a Storage Depot. Packaged vehicles however, are obtained by entering a vehicle interface and clicking the 'package' button. They can be added to a storage, but can also be unpackaged anywhere in the field. Packaging single vehicles is useful; when a vehicle is significantly slower than a Flatbed Truck, it is usually faster to transport it via said truck (with the requirement that there is a crane at or near the front). It is also possible to transport tanks over water by loading them into a Freighter.
