Standard shipping container (fluid tank style)
Shipping containers (Also known as ISO-L containers) can be found at freight terminals in Stormworks, and can be transported to other terminals for various amounts of money. Short trips may earn as little as $1,000. Longer trips, like from the Sawyer Island's North Harbor up to the BVG Logistics Depot in the arctic can earn $18,000 - $46,000+.
Design[ | ]
All built-in shipping containers follow the same standard configuration as described below.
Size[ | ]
11 blocks tall x 11 blocks wide x 29 blocks long (2.75 x 2.75 x 7.25 meters).
Connectors[ | ]
They have electric connectors facing upward at each of the top corners, as well as electric connectors recessed one block inwards (lengthwise) from each of the corners at the bottom, with these connectors facing outward (lengthwise). On the square faces at both ends, there are buttons to turn the connectors on/off, with one at the top (controlling the top connectors) and one at the bottom (controlling the bottom connectors). Indicator lights show whether or not the connectors are active: red is off, green is on.
Rope anchors[ | ]
At the top corners, there are four rope anchors, just inside (lengthwise) from the electric connectors.
Sliding connector tracks[ | ]
There are sliding connector tracks facing downward along the bottom on both long edges, ending at the electric connectors.
Logic[ | ]
Shipping containers support a composite connection through any of the top electric connectors. A pulse on Channel 1 or Channel 31 will toggle the top electric connectors in the same way as the top button. A pulse on Channel 2 will toggle the bottom electric connectors in the same way as the bottom button.
Additionally, the shipping containers will send data on the composite connection through all of the top electric connectors. Channel 1 will be on if the top connectors are enabled. Channel 2 will be on if the bottom connectors are enabled. Channel 1 1 will be on if the top connectors are disabled. Channel 12 will be on if the bottom connectors are disabled. Channel 31 will always be on.
