📋 About This Mod
Connected Containers is a very powerful shared container mod.
This mod lets you share the contents of any container with any other container(s), within and among all your settlements.
Introducing
General Atomics' Connected Containers
Internally the project was known as Connected Containers. Early 2077 the General Atomics engineers successfully developed the Container Pulser.
The Pulser Device
The Container Pulser is an easy-to-use handheld device. To share the contents of a container put a Container Pulser into an empty container. This will connect the container and make the container share its contents with every other connected container. Removing the pulser will disconnect and stop a container from sharing its contents.
The Container Pulser operates at a fixed frequency and sends its signal to any other Container Pulser operating on the same frequency. Once you have the first scientist rank and the required material, you can craft 8 types of pulsers at the chemical station (frequencies from 1Hz to 8Hz). Each pulser frequency allows for a separate chain of connected containers.
The Amplifier Module
During the field testing with various containers it happened that some containers were blocking the pulser signal. Especially some custom made containers did not connect. To solve this problem, the General Atomics engineers developed the Amplifier Module. The Amplifier Module must be permanently installed in a container to amplify the pulser signal.
Craft the Amplifier Module at the chemical station and put it into the empty unruly container. Closing the container menu will install the amplifier. Once the amplifier is installed you can put a pulser in the container and the container will connect.
