The Large Cargo Container is a storage block in Space Engineers. It extends a grid's inventory capacity.

THe Large Industrial Cargo Container is a variant of it with the same recipe and functionality; you can build it only if you purchase the Heavy Industry Pack.

Usage

This is the largest cargo container for haulers, motherships, and stations. If attached to a conveyor system, the container is flagged to receive pushed items from, and send pulled items to, other blocks.^[1] For usage details, see Inventory.

If the container is partially damaged, its contents will remain inside and can be accessed again after repairing the container. If the container is destroyed, its contents either fall out or are also destroyed.

Inventory

With Realistic settings, the Large Cargo Container has an inventory with a capacity of:

15,625L on Small Ships
421,000L on Large Ships and Stations.

The Large Cargo Container inventory accepts all items, acting as general storage. Access the inventory by highlighting an inventory port and press I key.

Note: The small-grid Large Cargo Container has the same volume as the large-grid Small Cargo Container.

Construction

The large-grid container needs Metal Grids, so unless you loot these somewhere, building a large container on a station hinges on having found Cobalt and having a Basic Assembler.

The Large Cargo Container has mount points on all sides. It has one large conveyor port centered on each of the six sides to connect to the conveyor system.

You can build the Large Cargo Container on Large Grids and Stations where it is a 3x3x3 large-grid-block cube. One Small Grids, it is a 5x5x5 small-grid blocks cube.
