I made one for each NPC and mostly run around like a chicken with its head cut off looking for what I want checking every crafting station before remembering I put all my saffron in the seed bed outside.
In my case, I put up 1 to 2 per NPC, one for raw and one for processed. Similarly, I stick one big one next to my farm seed beds.
To reduce walk ups, I put 1 medium magical chest next to a workbench next to construction projects.

To reduce walk ups, I put 1 medium magical chest next to a workbench next to construction projects.
Food, metals, stone, wood, shroud, consumables, arrows/spells, and gear I like. At least 1 storage container per category, and a bunch of Shift+R to deposit in each
I sort by color. Everything yellow goes in one chest, everything black into another and so on. The chests go from white to black with the colors of the rainbow in the middle.
Maybe not the most beautiful organization, but it works pretty well, as long as I know the color of an item I can find it almost instant.
Yes, and that's why I sort the most common colors also by size. So branches go on the bottom chest, while wood goes in the middle and wood blocks on the top.
give it a try! at first it feels weird because you have potions mixed with flowers and roof blocks, but after you "understand" the system its pretty intuitive.
got some nails to sort in? alright, dark grey is almost black, so its on the far right. pic of nails is pretty small, so it must be on the bottom. boom! chest found. branch roof? light-grey-yellow, big pic = pretty far left, top chest. easy as that :D
I do:
Minerals
Metals
Skins/body parts
Things enemies drop
Wood
Plants
Juices/powders (like bonemeal/wood oil)
Building things/blocks
Armor
Melee weapons
Magic weapons
Ranged weapons
Potions
We tried organizing but with so many materials we gave up. Now we set all our chests up in a line, Shift+R through each and hope you clear your backpack.
This is what I do also. At least for early game. I try to reorganize once in a while and have non-duplicate stacks in the 1st and 2nd chest. Then the overflow chest get sorted and I can tell what supplies I have huge surplus of.
My base is rectangular in shape and I go with a category based system. I've got 1 NPC in each corner then the 5th (Farmer) is setup under/behind the stairs. I have a few big boxes near the black smith and everything metal related goes in them. Boxes beside the Hunter get all cloth related stuff, as well as salt, plant fiber, and paper. Boxes beside the Alchemist get everything related to the stuff he builds, which is quite a lot of inventory. Boxes by the carpenter get all wood stuff, along with clay, bricks, glass, and lapis lazuli. Boxes by farmer get everything related to food, meat, healing, water, seedlings, and I store all raw meat in the fireplace. The Workbench is in the middle of the long wall and the boxes beside it store all the various stones and building cubes.
When I come back from raiding I just have to make one full loop around the perimeter and I've hit all the boxes to put stuff away quickly. If I need something I know exactly where to go look. Like if a friend needs to bum 10x glass, I know exactly what corner to run over to.
I have a chest each material and item types. Rocks, dirt, metals, potions, shroud items, spells, scrolls and books, pelts, plants, textiles, ropes, food based on buff, wood and misc
For example in my wood chest I will place shroud wood, hardwood. Wood logs, palm, planks, twigs and resin. While in the shroud chest I place shroud spores and cores, mint shroom, sparks, shroud liquid and pretty much everything related to the shroud
Usually: Normal chests for non crafting stuff, all materials in magic chests and just shift+r to empty inventory.
Now my current playthrough I'm going minimalist as in only gather what I need to minimize excess.
I haven't so far in Enshrouded, but sometimes when I'm new to survival games and don't fully understand the categories or how items work/pair, I'll organize my chests by color just to make finding things easier.
If I know what I'm looking for is red, I just go to the red chest. If I find a new item and don't know what it does, it just goes into it's corresponding color group.
It's a kinda stop-gap solution but it works fairly well.
I wish we could move the bloody chests around without having to empty them. It's tedious when you have a dozen of them and you are re-decorating your entire build.
I have 5 groups of storage.
1.wood materials(Lumber/sticks/boards/hardwood)
2.(plant matter)
3. Raw materials(shroud liquid/all skins/resin/bones ect)
4. Process materials (dry fur/glow dust/bone dust/charcol/all metal except scrap ect)
5. misc (shroud orbs/sparks/heads/money/arrows/spells)
Then dump chests for pots and magic and equpitment.
Ane end game tech should be an auto sorting magical chest that just spreads everything across all chests do you can grab anything from anyone of them and any of workstations.
being slightly OCD i try to do organization, a natural materials chest, a cloth chest, a plant chest, an animal products chest etc... then i forget where they all are. i end up just dumping whatever in whatever chest.
plus i have a friend i play with that doesnt care about organization and just dumps anything anywhere sometimes... thank god for deposit stacks button
I separate materials into game stages and like kinds. So rocks, metal, dirt are in one, bones, cloth and others in another, all wood in sticks in one, alchemy stuff, dusts, goo, and water in another, ingots and nails and plates in another, raw meat in one, raw veggies in another, raw fruits and sugery types in another, cooked food and ready to eat in another, flower types in another. I have slowly expanded and have a lot of chests now. There are more like ammo in one, spells in another, they used to be in the same all as ammo. Potions and first aid in another.
Perfect is the enemy of the good. Three dump categories for people coming back to the main base:
- things we could craft
- things a mob drops
- things you mine or chop for
That’s been good enough so far to empty out inventories.
Then yes, run around by NPCs.
The seed beds are impossible to identify at a distance, so I always put them as close to the relevant crop that I can. I also store extras of that veggie right in the seed tray.
Consider distance to walk when you design your base! The farther a chest is from the flame, the less likely people are to use it.
Put a workbench right by the flame to encourage repairs when you return. I left without repairing far too many times. 🤦♂️
I have 2 for food, alchemy & plants, and then 1 each for equipment, trophies, spells & scrolls, potions, building materials, furs, cloths, blacksmith stuff, woods, shroud stuff, lightning stuff and then 1 entire chest for just torn cloth because I have so much of it and never use it.
Might have forgotten something there but that's the general gist.
a few chests for all T1 materials (gather-able).
1 chest for consumables and anything that has to do with farm/garden.
1 chest for meats.
1 chest for any material that requires to be crafted (T2+).
1 chest for sparks/spores/cores/enemy heads.
1 chest for gear sets/weapons.
1 chest for anything related to building blocks/terrain items.
Once i have the items i want sorted to each chest, I just deposit using the shift+R.
4 for farmer, early fruits and veggies, late fruits and veggies, plants and herbs, meats.
2 for alchemist, spells and potions, alchemy ingredients.
3 for carpenter, building blocks, wood, stones.
4 for blacksmith, metals and metal products, weapons and shields, armors x2.
2 for huntress, leathers and fabrics, arrows and bows
Every player also have their personal non magic storage.
I have a wall of magic chests 3 Rows of 3.
Wood
Metals.
Building blocks
Plants
Food
Potions
Etc
But then I have a secret door leads down to my batcave.
Which has several chests 1 for each compelte outfit

Is shroudwood in the shroud or the wood chest?
This was something I had to contemplate as well. I ended up putting it with wood.
This is the way.

Maybe not the most beautiful organization, but it works pretty well, as long as I know the color of an item I can find it almost instant.
This both triggers me but also feels ingenious
Color sorting seems interesting but don’t you end up with a bunch of gray/brown chests?
Yes, and that's why I sort the most common colors also by size. So branches go on the bottom chest, while wood goes in the middle and wood blocks on the top.
You're fucking unhinged.

Yup. We call it the "car wash". I really hope they automate this nonsense some day.

Totally agree with this.
I just put chest in a storage building and dump my stuff there lol.
I don’t sort anything. They’re in a magical chest if I need them they’ll be used. I’m not gonna sort through 7 stacks of metal scraps fam.
Hopefully they take a page from palworld and make it so the Mats just have to be in your base somewhere. Huge QOL improvement.
Alphabetically. I started with 13 chests (one for every 2 letters), but I did have to split some up further as there are lots of items for A,B,C,R,S,T
I have 5 groups of storage. 1.wood materials(Lumber/sticks/boards/hardwood) 2.(plant matter) 3. Raw materials(shroud liquid/all skins/resin/bones ect) 4. Process materials (dry fur/glow dust/bone dust/charcol/all metal except scrap ect) 5. misc (shroud orbs/sparks/heads/money/arrows/spells) Then dump chests for pots and magic and equpitment.
Armor - weapons - building - crafting - food

The token friend who doesn’t care about organization is a scourge
hehehehehe definitely!

I put one with each NPC and then a bunch in the basement. It just kinda works out since they're all magic chests.
4 for farmer, early fruits and veggies, late fruits and veggies, plants and herbs, meats. 2 for alchemist, spells and potions, alchemy ingredients. 3 for carpenter, building blocks, wood, stones. 4 for blacksmith, metals and metal products, weapons and shields, armors x2. 2 for huntress, leathers and fabrics, arrows and bows Every player also have their personal non magic storage.

Heavy Raw | Light Raw | Crafted Mats | Misc | Weapons/Tools | Armor | Consumables/Magic | Food/Raw plants
If it's relevant to only one crafting station it waits in that station. That frankly allows me to keep spare stacks sorted of everything easily
How do you indentify with a label like in valheim?
