About this Mod

An addon for GTCEu that adds a Cardboard Box as an extension of the mod's Crates. It only holds 9 slots, but can be mass produced relatively cheaply.

Cardboard Boxes can also be broken by hand, unlike Crates.

This also adds a Crate Taper, a machine that will automatically tape up any Crate or Box in front of it, provided it has been supplied with a sufficient amount of Duct Tape.

Recipes.

Also includes fixes to an issue in base GTCEu where breaking a taped crate without the proper tool will delete all of its contents and also an issue with tape overlay syncing.

Future additions/to-do (possibly):

  • Option to make Crates and/or Boxes function without needing to be taped
  • Option to make all Crates tapable by hand
  • Port to GTCEu Modern
  • Any other feature I may want to add to GTCEu involving cardboard and/or containers
