How to Set Up a Storage System

chips ☆ edited this page Apr 15, 2024 · 2 revisions

This page goes over each component that can be used in a storage system and their purposes. For brevity, recipes are listed with only 1 type of ore. Where "Any" is used, their variants will work in their place -- "Lead Bar" instead of "Iron Bar", etc.

Prelude

Key elements of a storage system are:

All of these recipes require a Storage Component, the base for all storage system components in Magic Storage. The Storage Component can be crafted with Wood (10), and Iron Bar (2).

This mod adds Shadow Diamonds, given to the player in various quantities upon defeating a boss for the first time. These can be used in place of Diamonds in Magic Storage's crafting recipes.

Storage Heart

The Storage Heart, aptly named, is the "heart" of the storage system. It is how you access your stored items, and without one a system will not function.

It can be crafted with a Storage Component + Any Diamond (2) + Emerald (3) @ Work Bench.

Storage Units

Storage Units are where the items are stored. You will need to craft at least one to store anything in your system.

It can be crafted with a Storage Component + Any Chest + Any Silver Bar (10) @ Work Bench.

As you progress through the game, you will discover better resources, and will need to store more items. To reflect this, you can craft upgraded versions of the Storage Units with more advanced resources which let you store more items in each Unit.

Storage type Storage space Recipe
Storage Unit 40 Storage Component + Any Chest + Any Silver Bar (10) at a Work Bench
Demonite/Crimtane Storage Unit 80 Storage Unit + Demonite/Crimtane Storage Upgrade
Hellstone Storage Unit 120 Demonite/Crimtane Storage Unit + Hellstone Storage Upgrade
Hallowed Storage Unit 160 Hellstone Storage Unit + Hallowed Storage Upgrade
Blue Chlorophyte Storage Unit 240 Hallowed Storage Unit + Blue Chlorophyte Storage Upgrade
Luminite Storage Unit 320 Blue Chlorophyte Storage Unit + Luminite Storage Upgrade
Terra Storage Unit 640 Luminite Storage Unit + Terra Storage Upgrade

You can also upgrade a Storage Unit to the next tier by right clicking it with the Upgrade item for the next tier.

Storage Crafting Interface

So you have a storage system, great! But, you will notice that you can't do any crafting through the Storage Heart alone. That's where the Storage Crafting Interface (SCI) comes in.

It can be crafted with a Storage Component + Any Diamond + Sapphire (3) @ Work Bench .

The SCI has 15 slots for Crafting Stations, allowing the use of the many stations Terraria (+ other mods!) has to offer. The mod also comes with multiple ways to reduce the number of Crafting Stations you have to put in the SCI:
