9x9 Filtered Steel Chest

by craig_g

Adds a 9×9 filtered steel storage chest designed as a lightweight replacement for Rocket Silos used purely as storage buffers in quality-processing, recycling, and ore-voiding builds. It keeps the same practical 9×9 footprint and comparable base storage role while using standard chest behaviour. Meggabasing

Version: 0.1.5
Date: 2026-07-23
  Features:

Version: 0.1.4
Date: 2026-07-23
  Features:
    -- realised actually a rocket silo is actually only 10 slots not 20, so I have aligned with the rocket silo, you can change this in the game mods settings up to 400 if you want. Remember quality does also increase what ever you set there in game.
    -- provide a better icon that makes more sense for a factorio menu and research icons

Version: 0.1.3
Date: 2026-07-23
  Features:
    - loss of cleanliness is mostly a rendering/downscaling problem due to a high quality 1254x1254 image. Unusually high amount of fine detail: thin panel seams, rivets, scratches, pipes, gear teeth, hazard stripes, text, and narrow highlights. In-game, Factorio is reducing all of that into a much smaller on-screen footprint. Many details become approximately 1 pixel or sub-pixel wide, producing the grainy/noisy/over-sharpened appearance visible in the first image.
    -- fixed the technology unlock and effects so it now chest correctly appears in the research as an effect
