FC Chest Rework

[Gemina]

Is there any reason why FC chests hold so little?

Yes, players (people in general) have a tendency to place less value on the things they have an abundance of. An FC chest with something like 500 slots per tab will see more and more of crap items placed in there. Things like niche mats, common minions, furnishings, low level pots, among other things that benefit absolutely no one. Let alone the FC as a whole. Anyone who has ever felt there is nothing but useless junk and/or one or two people in the FC use the chest as an extension of their personal inventory will only see this issue exacerbated with more slots in the FC chest.

Things like this are brought up during development, and while SE's foresight isn't exactly the best, something like "How many slots, and how many tabs do we give the FC chest?" is an unavoidable task. They give us so many, and the rest they really rely on the playerbase to manage themselves. They can't just stop adding new items, but they also can't just keep increasing inventory space as they do. Players and FC's need to determine what items have a value high enough to keep stock. Everything else is tossed. Every slot is extremely valuable.

What I don't understand is why we can't set any limitations on how many items members can withdraw. As you said, slots are more valuable so FC's will naturally restrict the chest to storing useful items that have value. But currently we only have the option of allowing members no access at all, or access to the entire tab and everything in it.

We really should be able to set limits for each rank. For example, a maximum withdrawal of X items a day, or X stacks.

I would like one tab large enough to hold one of each standard dye, yes, even if you can cheaply buy then from an NPC. It would make it so much easier to see of which dye we have enough and which dye could need a restock.

Also it would be nice if we could name the tabs. ("Workshop + GRDNG", "Free4All", "Raffles", etc)

No one needs to keep that much dye ready. If anything, maybe keep all the pigments in one spot. That's 7 slots.

The only thing I feel should absolutely be kept in a space like the FC chest are voyage materials and seeds. Everything else is pretty easy to obtain if needed. This leaves ample space for the odd items that folks might want to pass to another member.

We keep tab descriptions on our discord ><

I'd also like more items per tab, although I'd actually like more tabs in general. Right now we have empty tabs because we have them restricted to different ranks, but this means some tabs are quite empty as only need to hold a few items, where as others are bursting.

It probably wouldn't be popular with everyone, but personally if they can't give us more items, I'd prefer if they instead reallocated the existing spaces so it was across more tabs (so for example same amount of items over twice the tabs) then we could better use the space with the permissions per tab.

Renaming the tabs would also be very helpful too.

Yeah definitely wish there was either more room in the fc chest or seperate chests that we can use as furniture in housing that have inventory slots depending on size. But yeah for our FC the go to for our chest is usually just material for current expansion usually leaves room for ship/sub stuff and some general mats that are regularly used.

And then there is me with my Solo FC Chest full of Stuffed Bokos but still plenty of space left...

We also need more defined permits... IE let rank A take x items of page 1 max etc....

[Kuroka]

I just said that lol

Like you cant actually use it as its either all or nothing... which would be kinda ok if we had like 10 pages... but as is...
