Mod suggestion - better storage

One thing that always slightly bothered me is the limited options you have for storing items. The only real other option given to you by the game besides dumping all your items on the floor is using a shelf, which is has as only benefit that items won't decay when stored outside.

The least I'd like to see added as an option is the option to store clothing in the dresser. But I'm hoping some more storage furniture can be added as well, like chests, weapon racks, barrels, closets and perhaps even a safe. Also I would like to store more than just one item per tile as with the shelves so that they are worth using since there will be a material cost for making these storage items.

I think it is a good idea to have different storage items for different item types such as a dresser for clothing, a safe for gold and silver, barrels for raw materials etc.

Being able to store clothing and equipment in this way could also allow you to have personal equipment stored for each pawn and might allow them to switch between their own clothing at will.

Try to search for
Deep Storage, you geting different storage building for different use. Clothing racks, Weapon cabinet,Skip,Pallets.
Infinite Storage, extra dimensional storage at the cost of energy. One build that can store anything (even chunks) but it cost some power each kg.
Weapon storage/Change Dresser.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try this mod on my next run.

I do however dislike the idea of infinite storage or insanely huge storage, so I hope there are at least some reasonable restrictions on most of these storage containers.

Deep Storage got modsettings.
You can edit how many stacks each of the building could store.

I also set it up so storing takes time - which I did for realism's sake, but does act as a nice counterbalance to the storage space.
