Storage Network

Storage Network lets your storage buildings pull items straight out of the Dimensional Depot. A Storage Container or Industrial Storage takes one item from the Depot and puts it on its output belt.

Open a storage and a panel appears next to the window. It shows what's in your Depot with icons, current stock and a fill bar, plus a search box for when the list gets long. Choose an item, press Start, and the container fills from the Depot. Whatever it pulls is removed from the Depot stock, so nothing gets duplicated.

Every container has its own rate, in items per minute. Set it with the − / + buttons or just type a number. A new container starts at the Dimensional Depot's current upload speed; you can lower it to throttle a line, but you can't move items faster than the upload speed. That ceiling goes up as you research Dimensional Depot upgrades.

Fluid Buffers get in on it too. Open a Fluid Buffer or Industrial Fluid Buffer and you get a Fluid Storage Network panel, backed by a shared central fluid pool. Think of it as the Dimensional Depot's equivalent for liquids and gases, added by the mod. Set a tank to Upload to empty it into the pool, or Download to fill it from the pool. The pool is shared across all your tanks and saved with your game, and its capacity per fluid grows as you upgrade the Dimensional Depot.

Tanks have their own rate too, in m³/min. It defaults to 2.5× the Dimensional Depot's upload speed and is capped there. There's an optional Keep Reserve threshold: on Download the pool never drops below it, and on Upload the tank keeps that much in reserve.

One heads-up: the first time you set an empty tank to Download, its panel closes on its own so the game can pick up the new fluid type. Just reopen the tank and the fluid shows correctly.

Co-op: the multiplayer code is in place. Pulling and fluid transfers run on the host and clients change settings through the same panels. I haven't been able to test it in an actual co-op session, though, so treat it as untested for now.
