Game Mechanics
Some objects are containers, and one of the choices on the radial menu will be "Open". (If it's an NPC's corpse, the option will be called "Loot" instead, but it means the same thing).
When you open a container, you will see a container window. This window shows you the contents of the container. You can pick things out from the container and drag them into another container or into your inventory or use the Pickup radial on the object inside the container to automatically obtain the item. A player may not however place items inside an npc corpse or world object.
Container Types
There are a number of types of containers:
- Fish - These have a storage capacity of 5. Players may not open it or add items into them. The player uses a special option (fillet) to extract the contents.
- Fireworks Show Package- These containers have a capacity to hold 20 fire work items. These work similar to Starship Component Analyzer Tools in that items are stored inside, however with one important exception. Fireworks are added into the show package via radial menu prompt and in this process they are added to the stack size of the fireworks show package but are not counted towards the player's inventory nor other content container/housing item limits. This indicates that fire work show packages may not be 'real' containers but are none the less listed as such.
- World Container Objects (20 items):
- Player may only open and remove items from it, and may not add items back into them.
- These include static and spawned object locations such as:
- Lootable Containers (20 items):
- Quest Reward Containers (50 items)
- Multipocket Bandolier
- Two-strapped Bandolier
- Mercenary Bandolier
- Ithorian Two-strapped Bandolier
- Ithorian Multipocket Bandolier
- Ithorian Mercenary Bandolier
- Drum
- Player Crafted backpacks. (50 Items)
- Player Crafted Furniture (50):
- The items in the container do count towards your housing inventory.
Container Features
There are some common aspects between containers
- Containers have finite capacities. All containers have a specific carrying capacity to which no more objects can be placed into.
- To view nested contents, such as when crafting and accessing multiple containers in the craft window, an Open in New Window radial option appears when using a container in inventory for the player when they wish to access multiple container windows at once if there is already an open container being viewed.
- Containers can not be placed inside other containers with the exception of bank deposit box, satchels, cargo pockets and the starship component analyzer tool. 20 item containers such as Satchels and Cargo Pockets may be placed inside higher level containers such as backpacks, bookcases etc but may not be placed inside other satchels and cargo pockets. Any non data item may be placed inside a container.
- Container Volumn attributes indicate the current amount of objects within the container. This attribute is viewable by using the examine radial on any object that can be targeted. Every object by default has a volumn amount of 1, being itself. Any other object that is placed into it or that it holds, adds to this amount. Backpacks are a clear example of this. A backpack with 45 objects will have a volumn count of 46 (45 objects and itself). A backpack with no objects in it will have a volumn count of 1.
Examples are below:
 Volumn of Container with 45 items |
 Volumn of Container with 0 items |
