Containers

[kbecmer]

TL;DR

Containers as universal transportable storage.

What ?

Container entity should be 2x2. You can place it on map and use like regular storage chest (or via inserters) but with capacity of 4x steel chest. Container can be moved by crane to platform on truck (truck can carry 1 container only) or train (which carry 3 containers per wagon). There can be fluid container too. Containers can be transportable on double belt, for example from load area to train station with cranes.

Why ?

Smaller train stations. Containers can be fullfilled on separate area, propably directly in production area. With truck as new wheeled vehicle you can prepare large exploration or build well defend colony far away. With ships implemented you can be able to transport containers through seas.
