What to do with it
Storage Box I is useful because it keeps progression materials out of the sale pile. Place it beside the processor row and sort by purpose, not by item colour.
At a glance
Get itCraft from 8 Softwood.
Process / recipePlace at Home beside processors.
Main usesSeparates raw materials, processed materials and request items.
Keep or sell?Build early; the time saved on bag trips is more valuable than selling the Softwood.
CraftUse the current 8-Softwood recipe.
PlaceKeep it beside Cutter I, Kiln and Furnace I.
SortSeparate raw inputs, processed parts and protected requests.
Common mistake
Building a box but using it as one unsorted dump, which only moves the inventory problem from the Bag to Home.
