Modular cargo container inventory size inconsistency.
Not Enough Votes
I was looking at the wiki for the cargo container sizes and i noticed that the modular cargo container is worse than all of the other cargo containers. The cargo containers each give 125L per small block of storage, but the modular cargo container only gives ~95.24L per block.
Small grid medium cargo container. Occupies a 27 (3 x 3 x 3) block space, stores 3,375L. 3,375/27 = 125L per block. Modular cargo container, occupies a 105 (7l x 5w x 3h) block space, and stores 10,000L. 10,000/105 = 95.238L per block.
The modular cargo container should have 13,125L of storage to be consistent with other cargo containers.
Here is a breakdown of container volume and storage capacity. Using a Small Grid block as the base volume measurement
Each container’s storage volume can be calculated as:
Small Grid Containers:
- Small Cargo Container (1x1x1, volume 1): 125L
- Medium Cargo Container (3x3x3, volume 27): 3,375L
- Large Cargo Container (5x5x5, volume 125): 15,625L
Large Grid Containers:
- Small Cargo Container (5x5x5, volume 125, equivalent to small grid large cargo): 15,625L
- Large Cargo Container (15x15x15, volume 3,375): 421,875L
All of these follow the same formula and provide 125L per small grid block of space.
The Modular Cargo Container does not follow this consistency:
- It has a 3x5x7 block volume (105 blocks) and provides 10,000L of storage.
- This results in a per-block density just shy (decimal places) of 95.24L, which is 29.76L less than the standard 125L per block.
