Houses full of brown cupboards are boring and old.

One or more alternatives to cupboards is my desire explained within this post. Possibly just different cosmetic appearances for cupboards, or specialized cupboards like an alchemists cupboard or a weapon rack. Just things that offer as much or more (but specialized) storage to alleviate the monotony that is oceans of the same cupboard model. Something beyond stockpiles in that they allow easy organization and view of contents but in return have a construction cost of course. Cupboards as a whole could be redone from the ground up without much effort depending on where your priorities in development stand. Adding nuggets to their cost would be a good start, making them not lift-able with contents? There are lots of possibilities and I'm sure this is one of the uncountable directions you devs have bounced around. I just wish to make it apparent that in my opinion it would greatly improve gameplay to flesh out this critical piece of cosmetic interior so that it may be used eloquently with the lovely wall decorations and varying materials.

I approve of all of this, I've also thought that Cupboards need to have some interest added. Starting with adding color options to cupboards and moving on to increasing size through quality. The clear option here is to make cupboards start at 40 units and expand with increasing quality.

But then a myriad of options should be available beyond this. Half-cupboards that can have the wall shelves suspended overhead, or a workbench that will enable the use of the tools suspended over it in the creation of anything in the adjacent cupboards.

But color options would be a great start, followed by some of the things you mentioned.

Sure, I could go for some of this idea. Ive been wanting specialized containers for awhile now. Even some stationary containers that can only be built in houses would be great. The disadvantage of being stationary could be countered by having an even larger inventory. Cabinets or something. A stationary 2x1 crafting table of some sort that accesses all adjacent containers, and can have a recipe configured in it would be welcome. Could boost crafting speed, on top of being able to draw from containers without you needing to open up every one of them at the same time. Let it access the above suggest stationary container, and have a slot or two for barrels.

i dont agree with the rise of size with quality but to make diferent CP for diferent items size dependant, for example you can store a pickaxe on 2 spaces on a CP designed for tools and on the same space you can store 2000 seeds on a seeds CB and the plus comes with the option that seeds auto sort ;D (menu option)

I agree that a lot of the houses you visit have a bit of a monotonous look to them with all the cupboards. Could definitely be improved. I would, for one thing, like to see variable materials on cupboards.

Or... impolement cupboards with a lightly bigger hitbox, more slot, and higher cost like large chests. People would build the bigger ones to save the space.
