  A way to label storage bins so we know what's in them. The signs are hard to read during the day (or with good lighting in general).

  That would be great. I like to be able to lable large storage boxes but puting the wooden sign on the wall above them get hidden. Being able to labe the actual box would really help.

  I also vote for this Idea. It is very time time consuming to check all the Containers.
  I really miss this feature to label them, like in "7 days to die". So please give the Community this missing thing, as I like Icarus and hopefully will play it for a long time. Thks.

  I have a large base and lots of materials, armours, ammo, iron, copper, stuff like that in many cupboards, trouble is i forget what is in where, so i seem to be running around opening all my cupboards looking to see what is inside, just wondering if it would be possible to make Labels/tags etc for the cupboards that would either stick to or hang on the cupboards and left blank so we can add our own text to show what is inside said cupoard, i know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't sound much but it would save me lots of time and head scratching searching for any partcular item i might need, im sure im not the only one that would like to label the cupboards, thanks for your consideration....fantastic game by the way, it has taken over my life lol.

  @Ashlyn - I'm not sure which requests you're meaning?

  They've added signs. I use those. Do we need something else?

  Maybe a T5 version that has a digital marquee or hud built in

  Yes, please! I know I can place a sign on top of the cupboards, but I should not have to.

  Can we get this in higher tier storage? or a T$ ink marker that does a "text field' which then gets "spray painted" on.. ?
  pulling from reality, this has not been universal at any point in time, but on plastic containers that matcht he fururistic style of in-game new assets, it IS common to have a place for cards or tags.
  or a T4 tool like other games to a image or writing texture: those games are sprays, but you could do a Permanent Marker or Paint Marker. you click, opens the Text field from Signs, we edit, then do a resize of a texture overlay. would be Insane if we can use it for caves. >\^X<< give it an Ink or paint requirement: paint is already ingame. use a water bottle to wash off?

  I've used the signs and found them difficult to use. A label that's part of the container would be better. Maybe create a variation of the item that's "cabinet with sign" you craft by merging a cabinet + sign on a workbench. Regardless of how it's implemented, the signs should not extend past the edges of the container and they should not block access to the containers.
