Multi-Map Linked Storage

Advanced storage shelves that transfer items between different map tiles. The Exports Shelf sends items to a linked Imports Shelf, enabling automated, cross-map resource management.

Perfect for large, multi-settlement (or multi-floor) colonies, supplying materials to establish a new outpost, or sending valuable resources back to your main colony from one of your caravans.

Features

• Exports Shelf: Sends items to a linked Imports Shelf on a different map tile.
• Imports Shelf: Receives items from a linked Exports Shelf.
• Auto-Transfer: Toggle automatic transfers via the Exports Shelf interface.
• Cross-Compatibility: Fully compatible with MultiFloors, enabling cross-level transfers.
