Better Storage Balance

Currently Stockpile takes up a 5x5x5 area which is 125 block volumeLarge Lumber takes up a 12x12x13 area which is 1872 block volumeEven with the increase from 25 to 100 slots and doubling the stack size this only increase the Large Lumbers Storage Capacity by 8x, but it it has a nearly 15x volume increase. Which means the stockpile is more efficient per volume of area. What i think needs to occur is a balance pass on this and the inclusion of something beyond Carpentry.We need the Shipping Containers to be made available again and maybe even possibly make them transportable by a future vehicle. Regardless here's my suggestionStockpile should retain the storage it currently provides.Stockpile - 125 Volume (5x5x5) , 25 SlotsLumber Stockpile - 343 Volume (7x7x7) , 50 Slots , Doubles ResourcesLarge Lumber Stockpile - 1000 Volume (10x10x10) , 120 Slots , Triples ResourcesSmall Shipping Container - 200 Volume (5x8x5) , 40 Slots , Doubles ResourcesLarge Shipping Container - 400 Volume (5x16x5) , 120 Slots , Doubles Resources.Deep Storage Tank - 160 Volume (2x2x40) , 120 Slots , Triples ResourcesThis means- Regular Stockpiles have 5 Block Volume per Effective Slot of Space.- Lumber Stockpiles have 3.43 Block Volume per Effective Slot of Space.- Large Lumber Stockpiles have 2.777 Block Volume Per Effective Slot of Space.- Small Shipping Containers have 2.5 Block Volume Per Effective Slot of Space.- Large Shipping Containers have 1.666 Block Volume Per Effective Slot of Space.- Deep Storage Tank have 0.444 Block Volume Per Effective Slot of Space.Crafting Requirements For New Objects- Small Shipping Container , Mechanics and made with Steel - Large Shipping Container , Mechanics and made with Steel- Deep Storage Container , Industry made with Steel and Components from ShipwrightThe goal is simple its worth upgrading your storage and Lumbers are buffed to be more effective per block volume and take up less space. Then The shipping containers can be added but they're aren't as strong as before and are made slightly bigger then before. Then finally the "Deep Storage Tank" is extremely powerful in that it only uses a 2x2 area but goes 40 blocks deep although its limited where you can place it in some ways its ideally used for deep underground storage it will try to place facing down not up so you can't stack them on ground level you must dig deep to get one placed, but it becomes the ultimate storage.
