Drawers are interconnectable storage units, each storing 24 stacks of items. They can be upgraded to expand their capacity. If hooked up to a drawer controller, items going into the controller will find their way to the respective drawer.

A basic drawer system containing various items.

Usage

Place down the drawers, optionally connecting them up with wooden trims.

To put items into the drawer, right-click or tap the slot with the item you want to. To put all items of that type, double-right-click or double-tap the slot. Note that each slot can only hold one type of item, and unstackable items (e.g. tools) are not supported.

You can also use the drawer controller to put items inside the system without worrying about where the respective drawers are. Right-click a controller, then put your items into the middle slot.

To take items from the drawer, punch the slot. The items will go into your inventory. When a drawer is dug, the items inside drop out.

With Pipeworks and Digilines

Drawers can be used with Pipeworks like normal chests.

The drawer controller takes items from its side, and spits items out from the back of queried via Digilines. The Digiline interface accepts one of the following:

-- These examples assume a Luacontroller environment, taking 30 dirts from the drawer system

-- An ItemString: <technical name> <count>
digiline_send("the_drawer", "default:dirt 30")

-- A table: { name = <technical name>, count = <count> }
digiline_send("the_drawer", {
    name  = "default:dirt",
    count = 30,
})
