Crate

Crates pack bulk supplies that are crafted and allow easy transportation to a stockpile. Crates are automatically generated in the inventory if there is space when the player picks up an order from the Factory. If there is no space in the player's inventory the order will not be picked up.

Crates are not made when when assembling them from a Static Base or Forward Base.

A crate must be submitted to a stockpile for soldiers to assemble them. To do this, transfer the crate to the stockpile's inventory and press the "Submit to Stockpile" button.

Crates with different items look the same in the inventory. However, hovering the mouse over a crate will display a tooltip with the description of what items are inside it.


 * Since Update 0.29 crate icons now have a subicon that identify the contents within and the hover tooltip now shows the quantity of items contained in a crate.



Additional Info

 * 1) All crates have the same weight (55% encumbrance), regardless of which items are inside. A crate of mortar shells has the same weight as a crate of 7.62mm ammo.
 * 2) Every crafted item in game has their own unique amount per crate. Refer to Crafting for a complete list of how much each item will produce per crate.
