Malderan's Storage Alerts


Open any storage chest, logistic chest or fluid tank and toggle a fullness alert on it. When it reaches your chosen threshold (default 100%) it raises a map alert and plays a customisable alarm, just like a programmable speaker.

Malderan's Storage Alerts

Get a heads-up before your storage backs up. Open any chest or fluid tank, tick Alert when
full
, and Storage Alerts pings you — map alert + alarm, just like a programmable speaker — the
moment it reaches the level you set.

Features

  • Per-entity, opt-in — open a storage chest, logistic chest or fluid tank and a small panel
    docks to its window. Tick Alert when full to watch just that one. Nothing is watched until
    you say so, so it stays quiet and cheap even in a sprawling base.
  • Adjustable threshold — a slider sets the trigger level per entity (default 100%). Fluid
    tanks use their exact fill level (fluid-network aware); chests use how many slots are full.
  • Speaker-style alert — on crossing the threshold it raises a persistent map alert (blip +
    alert-list entry) and plays a one-shot alarm through the game's Alerts volume channel, then
    re-arms automatically once the entity drops back below.
  • Smart icon & label — the alert shows the tank's fluid, or a chest's item when it holds only
    one type, with text like "Water is full" (falling back to the entity's name). Flip on
    Custom icon & text to override either — the fields preview the automatic values first, so you
    edit from a sensible starting point.
  • Works with modded storage — chests and tanks are matched by type, so modded containers and
    tanks (Bob's, Angel's, etc.) are covered automatically.
  • Choose your alarm — pick from the programmable-speaker alarms, buzzers, ring, siren or the
    vanilla alert sting. The choice is per player.

Usage

  1. Open a storage chest, logistic chest or fluid tank.
  2. In the panel on the right, tick Alert when full and drag the slider to your threshold.
  3. (Optional) tick Custom icon & text to set your own alert icon and message.

Settings

  • Alert sound (per player) — which alarm plays. Default Alarm 1.
  • Check interval (ticks) — how often watched entities are checked. Lower = more responsive,
    slightly more CPU. Default 30 (≈ twice a second).
  • Default threshold (%) (per player) — the slider's starting value for newly-enabled alerts.
    Default 100.
