Storage Bin set from Apex Survival inaccessible

Not a Bug

Storage Bin blocks (Storage Bin, Storage Bin Stack, Storage Bin Pallet) seem to be bugged. When built on a Grid, they will not show up in either Control Panel block list nor Inventory list, rendering their Inventory space inaccessible. Directly interacting with the block will default to other blocks in the Grid.

Reconnecting to server/reloading will often fix the issue (not always), but they always revert to becoming inaccessible. I have yet to be able to rename the blocks, since I've never been able to access them through Control Panel Terminal tab.

They only autoswitch you to helmet inventory view on actual dead bodies. On other helmet-only inventories you have to click the helmet yourself to use that inventory. Can't rename it. Like armor block, it has no control panel entry intentionally.

It is a persistent Keen stupidity as documented in these previous bugs:

I see, I missed that they count as "helmet inventory" and that I must manually switch to that, thank you for pointing it out. I think I just expected the same behavior as with Cargo Crates from Decorative Pack 3 (those do seem to show both in "helmet inventory" and "connected inventories" tabs tho, and can be renamed)


Unfortunate that they (Storage Bins) cannot be renamed, but inconsequential in my case.

Hello XAZU,

Thank you for reaching out to our forum with this.

In this case, Space Ork’s explanation is correct.

The blocks you mentioned are only accessible through their own inventory access points (located on top). Since they do not have any other access or conveyor ports, do not require power, and have no additional functionalities, they are therefore not displayed in the Control Panel of the grid.

This behavior is expected and working as designed.

As there is nothing wrong with the current functionality, I will go ahead and close this thread.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind Regards
