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

Usage

This is the most commonly used cargo container on small grid, because it combines affordability with a compact size. Alternatives are the tiny Small Cargo Container and the bulky and expensive Large Cargo Container. 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 Medium Cargo Container has an inventory with a capacity of 3,375L on Small Grids. Access the inventory by highlighting an inventory port and then press I key. The inventory accepts all items, acting as general storage.

Construction

This cargo container is 3x3x3 Small Grid blocks in size. It is not available for Large Grids or Stations. It is airtight and has mount points on all six sides.

The Medium Cargo Container has two small conveyor ports on opposite sides, and another two large ports on another pair of opposite sides, while the third pair of opposing sides are only structural.
