PSA: You can archive ships and multitools - eviltoast

Most of you probably know this already but I missed these features somehow and only stumbled on them recently.

The freighter Manage Fleet interface (on the console opposite the captain) lets you put ships in “cold storage.” They retain their tech but you can’t use them until you pull them out into one of your 12 ship slots.

The same can be done for multitools with the buildable Weapons Rack base element.

You can archive 18 of each. I was excited to discover this as I totally missed the news in whatever update brought it.

    Speaking of neat tricks you can also do color and images to text. Reddit link

    I really only have it on frieghter storage. Where storage 0 has the frieghter symbol with maroon text being fuel, then the backpack with light blue text for life support, the two ingot symbols with yellow text for materials and specials materials, white gear for crafting components, green for plants and food

    Really makes flipping through inventories quickly easier since their color coded and the image is a nice touch

        Yeah no problem

        I’ve seen people do rainbow text for each letter. I honestly don’t have that kind of patience but I’m more curious how they don’t hit the character limit
