Cargo Containers Expanded mod preview for RimWorld

A maintained RimWorld 1.

A maintained RimWorld 1.6 fork of AOBA's Cargo container, adding extractable cargo payloads, clean deconstruction refunds, refrigerated containers, and improved support for modern saves.

What It Does

This mod adds cargo containers and tanks that let you compact large amounts of resources into buildings, then extract the contents later through bills.

You can build containers for:

Stuffable resources
Half-size resource storage
Survival meals
Herbal medicine
Medicine
Glitterworld medicine
Yayo
Flake
Beer
Neutroamine
Wort
Chemfuel
Refrigerated rottable resources

You can also:

Extract cargo in batches of 1, 25, or 100
Deconstruct containers and get clean refunds for remaining payloads
Use refrigerated containers for powered food/resource preservation
See payload counts and refrigeration state in the inspect pane
Use localized inspect and recipe text

Why This Fork Exists

This fork keeps the original Cargo container idea intact, while updating the mod for RimWorld 1.6 and improving how container contents are handled.

This fork adds:

RimWorld 1.6 support
Harmony-based extraction logic
Payload-aware extraction bills
Clean refunds instead of lost contents on deconstruction
Refrigerated cargo containers
Better handling for powered and unpowered refrigerated storage
Compatibility/stability fixes around bills and generated recipes

Important Notes

Cargo containers are buildings, not normal stockpiles.

Contents are represented as the container payload. Use the container's bills to extract the payload back into item stacks.

Refrigerated containers require power. If power is lost, the payload can rot based on the contained item and surrounding temperature.

Chemfuel containers are dangerous if destroyed.
