Some NEAT & TIDY Item Storage Solution | Dragon Quest Builders 2

[@wolfstalksthenight]

I never thought I would be so giddy to actually visit your island this is pretty kewl thanks for sharing I just started the game today also thanks for the guides

[@saraheart756]

Me and my hubby love all your videos. You are amazing, funny and a sweet person who also makes us chuckle while watching your videos! Your also so helpful in these videos so thank you. We both think your a brilliant builder! Litterally every night you are one of our top favourite youtubers we put on the TV to watch with dinner haha.

[@Rose_J]

Ben, thank you, thank you! I’ve been hoping you would do something like this. Your videos seriously rock!

[@Rose_J]

Ha! I actually visited your island, Ben. First one for me. Love your barn. Your cat gave me some kelp. 😂

[@BenXC]

Those unloyal beasts :D and thank you very much :)

[@nataliehill8486]

Is there anyway to visit your island if I’m playing on switch? Also is there a way to just enter specific island codes ?

[@Rose_J]

Natalie Hill - I visited Ben’s island, and I’m playing on the Switch. To answer your second question, I don’t think so. Watch this video, and you’ll see how to do it.

[@Pelz02]

So organized 😍 im so excited to try the tips you've mentioned about storing water and etc but i still need to unlock the upgraded bottomless pot 😭😭😭 can't wait to finish the game so I could finally focus and do all these 😍

[@joegandara8583]

The randomness of the intros are always funny

[@BenXC]

Haha thank you :D

[@silverbane8065]

You can decorate with them without using the closets and drawers up by using the magnetic blocks. I started just copying the wardrobes, drawers and cupboards ect to the magnetic blocks for their rooms. After all they won't store things or use them other than a wardrobe when you make a dressing room, so they might as well have just visual versions lol. At least I think you can do it this way, I haven't used enough of them yet to hit any limits et lol.

[@mattshuey1]

So wholesome and nice. I've been playing the game non-stop for 2 weeks. The only vids on youtube in my history for that time is you. I was so excited to see the snapshot of your video openings on a loading screen. I liked and faved it instantly.

[@michaelyobs4448]

Thanks Ben it was so much fun trying to figure out which chest my special little villagers decided to put every single thing in

[@Thanator88]

I am the one that is ranked No 13 so my picture appeared in your video, i didn’t know i had that rank so i was so surprised to see it ahahah

[@BenXC]

Congratulations :D

[@IamMusicNerd]

Wow, this is awesome. I hope I have the patience to build and organize like this when I get to this point in the game.

[@Showmetotheexit]

I'm sure ya figured this already, but since I noticed the seal in the back. Unless you want monsters on the island, you only need top place one seal next the hermit. It activates for the whole island then.

[@lorua5970]

Just checked out your barn. Super cool! You've inspired me to download the DLC with your Japanese house video too. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Nectey]

Great storage tips! I’ve been waiting for some help with this. I prefer to carry around the items I build with and have everything else in storage, so this is great help to keep all the junk organized! Keep up the great work !

[@MarkunSyndrome]

Holy crap, that laberint looks insane! How do people build such amazing stuff... Man, I feel very dumb building my dull ideas xD

[@aCasualNeko]

Markun Syndrome don’t feel bad, the more you build the better your ideas will get. Just finished playing with an elevator design for several hours, started as a basic wood structure and ended up as a glass elevator :)

[@MarkunSyndrome]

@@aCasualNeko nice!! I will do so :P

[@chocobofan5750]

Finally \o/ thank you for the video Ben ^^

[@TheLinc14]

Awesome video! Definitely putting this under my lodge from your other video 😉 Got a quick question, if I put stuff into storage like you have will it still be available to build with? For example if my items are in storage and I want to make a bed would it take the cotton/wood from storage or my personal bag?

[@tomfoil5590]

Lol, Ben, you are too cool! Love your commentaries! Very helpful information as well.

[@MK-xi3xj]

I play on the Switch, but seriously considering buying for PS4 just to visit your town. Love your videos, been watching since DQB1. Which reminds me, you didn't speak in those, so its nice to hear you too. I love your accent/voice. Have a blessed day!

[@dragonfly866]

I could visit his town on the Switch

[@MasterSubmarineMan]

i love the game but the limits are anoying... chest limit, villager limit, room limit.... how am i supposed to build a giant City with all those Limits -.- I hope that they maybe create a PC Version of this game where are no such limits bcs they dont need to consider the performance. BTW does anybody know if there mor DLC `s in the making?

[@BenXC]

I believe they'll announce two more DLC in the upcoming stream on 8/8/2019. We'll see :) and yeah those limits really are annoying, it's only to hold the performance in check.

[@UltimateCarl]

I wish there was an option to toggle for performance. I'm playing on a PS4 Pro that I swapped a solid state drive into, I think my system could handle a bit more! I know that would cause problems in multiplayer, but still...

Your videos are the best and are always so helpful! Your channel was one of my best finds on KZbin. Thanks SO much for all of the awesome and very entertaining content! You're great!

[@minkman99]

Have you collected every item? I can't seem to unlock the supersized steak set. It says I need 5 scaly steaks and I have them but its not recognizing I have them. It just says 0/5 scaly steaks. What's up with that?

[@SiliziaAlbrecht]

I have the same problem >< need some help too

[@danielfox8383]

I'm not 100% shure but looks like only steaks that you collect on material islands counts, and those you collect in story chapters not. I have 4/5 now...

[@BenXC]

You need to collect 5 scaly steaks from the point on you unlocked the item challenge. Just kill some dragons or dragon warriros on material islands.

[@TwilitArchon]

"I hate that you can't change the weather" WELP

[@picoid_dx]

Seems like the switch version doesn't have 128 chests... Here's what I found: community chests, storage bays and colossal coffers all share 32 slots. Wardrobes, wooden cabinets, armoires and gift-wrapped gifts all share 64 slots. Drawers have 32 slots of their one, and cupboards 16. This falls really short compared to 128 chests :/

[@edwohaupepetiv]

So, just a suggestion to anyone who reads this, if you put a chest of drawers on top of a chest of drawers, you can use both. Just use the button to look up in 3rd person and you can use the chest of drawers on top. Twice the storage. Smaller space. I've yet to try it with other 1×1 storage containers, but feel free to. I've grown attached to mine. 💙

[@carolyncollins5367]

where do you get the closets and drawers? i haven't found/unlocked them yet; i have the wardrobes, wooden cabinets, and storage bay, but no closets and no drawers

[@BenXC]

Have you played through the story yet? Normally they should be unlocked by then :)

[@MyaLech]

You mentioned in the video that you hate having to sleep to avoid monsters annoying you.... if you put down the "Ward of Erdrick" down in your game the local area that each tablet represents will be critter free.... it stops the monsters spawning in that area :)

[@jillywitchyboo3363]

love you your builds are amazing watched all you videos before i got it on switch then watching some again if i get stuck thank you :-)

[@MusickalFire]

I'd like to build mine as close to yours as possible. Any chance you can let us know what you used for the specific pieces? For example, I'm trying to figure out what you used for the flooring in front of the cabinets lol Anyone have any idea what it's made with? I thought it was Obsidian blocks, using the Ultimate Mallet, but it's not.

[@BenXC]

It's marble floor (part of the modernist DLC pack)

[@AFishNamedBob]

I can't find this on your island!? Am I missing something?? I want to blueprint it SO badly. This is perfection.

[@TimboSlice083]

Is there a cheat sheet for capacities for certain things? Like how many chests can you have at one time? Or how many crops / seeds can you have planted at once. I know I already hit that limit when my seeds were popping out of the ground lol.

[@BenXC]

I'll make a video about all the limits very soon :) chests 128 crops 1024

[@TimboSlice083]

@@BenXC Bro you are so awesome. Thanks again for your reply. If it wasn't for your videos there would be very little in the ways of tutorials or explanations for this game it seems. Yesterday I implemented your item organization system as well as the various liquids. Both work without fail. It got me really excited to keep playing. I also followed all your medal, seed of life and secret items tutorials. I had missed some things. I signed up for your Patreon. btw. Looking forward to the future of this channel.

[@wintanyu136]

i want to visit the island, but was landed on your buildertopia, how can i fix this?

[@Mad_001]

What are the white blocks behind the drawers?

[@BenXC]

Those are the display stands for items. You can build them on your workbench.

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

wait there's a limit of 16 closets and 32 drawers? so after you place that amount you cant place anymore of them? that sucks, there really shouldn't be a limit at all anyways thanks for the video, super helpful and full of information as always!

[@MarkMcDaniel]

They recent doubled the limits to those listed in the video. That is more than enough space, really.

[@TheYdyp]

@@MarkMcDaniel did they also double the limit of rooms etc? @breakfast fan I think you can still put more of if you hit the limit, though you can not use them to store stuff in if I got it right, never hit the limit for drawers because I did not go for a central hoarding storage facility because of the said limits I rather use the storage in the rooms I build on my island.

[@MarkMcDaniel]

@@TheYdyp -- Not sure, lookup Ben's video on recent version updates, he goes over the changes.

[@BenXC]

YOu can place more than 16/32 but then you won't be able to put stuff inside, so only as decoration. You can still use the old style closet (I believe the limit is also 16)

[@christophersavignon4191]

I'm using a similar setup, right at the docks to unload after arriving. I've sorted in two dimensions, by material and raw/blocks/furnitures/deco/etc, then the other stuff in a second room, by type. However, I haven't used anything but chests yet. Are those limits per sector or island wide? Also, PSA for all the other people like me who didn't notice that the chest menu allows you switch to your bag inventory by pressing the triggers: You can do that.

[@BenXC]

They are island wide. Also chests are totally possible near the docks because villagers won't go there :)

[@gothamknight7965]

@@BenXC Yeah, I am slowly working on making myself the Batcave and some sort of Wayne Manor near the dock and my plan is to have a room set up to hide storage at within the cave. Then in the Green area I am still working on like a mini Batcave under a "vacation home" for when my character is in the country. Going to maybe see about doing a barn set up like in Smallville (but I am still brainstorming about possible ideas to do)

How do you set the item down above the closets like that so that they stay in the small icon form vs full size?

Can you have more bag space? Or is 7 the limit...?

[@embuscae]

So I am a bit confused... I can no longer put down treasure chests as they will not register. I have 32 Storage Bays that will register, but if I put down 1 more Storage Bay or 1 more treasure chest, it will tell me "Any more items of this type that you place will not be usable." Do Storage Bays somehow count as "treasure chests?" I certainly do not have 128 chests on the IoA. I have 7 closet type storage containers on the IoA and only about 20 drawer type storage containers. Please help! Thanks!

Hello Ben, I'm wondering if you might happen to know of a few meat meals that would be huge in size I seen in a video it was enormous size if a steak or something. I adore your videos your laugh is so funny. Keep up the great work!

[@DuranmanX]

I tried to put every single unique item into the chest, but at least in the Switch version, you begin to run out of space near the end

[@amberdragon895]

I had this problem too, and all of my chests have to stay usable for the rooms like kitchens or similar places. It's a nuisance

Gotta say, the limit for chests and things are a bit disappointing. Especially, when you're like me and keep likee everything! (then the residence come along and mess up your organization by putting stuff they make/farm in random boxes :P) As for the "Always daytime" option... honestly, i want a "let it snow" option for like the winter area (all that snow and... it's raining). Plus a "monster spawner" would be kind of fun. Make actual dungeons and what not for people to go through.

[@mattshuey1]

If you use the icecream thing for the Powie Wowie and turn enough area into snow it will change the area to start snowing. Then just build on top of it. The game is still recognizing it as snow as long as you don't build enough to change the tile into non-snow in the minimap. I made a "snowglobe" on my island doing this.

[@JCKane]

@@mattshuey1 But :/ it's not doing it though. Seriously, the tiles are showing up as snow as I have a good majority of the ground set as snow but it's still raining, not snowing :/

[@mattshuey1]

@@JCKane It might be an elevation thing. I've only done the snow on the Cerulean Steppes area and it is more elevated than the rest of the map. Try it on the Hermit's place in the middle of the map as its elevated too. I haven't tested thoroughly to see what triggers the snow. Thinking it might be an elevation thing now.

go to moonbrooke or the explorer shore with the lava and smash them with your hammer. They will try to self destruct but your dps is always faster than their countdown.

Why the need of item storage when you have limitless storage in your bag ?

The bag is not limitless storage, it is just very large storage. I have managed to run out of room in the bag once, and it is also a pain searching through your bag to find at item. I know I have almost 400 oil in by bag somewhere but I cannot find it at the moment.

"too complicated" is a relative term. I played this game for around 7 months now and this is the improved version where I will likely never run out of storage space for the next 7 months. I ran out of space in my previous storage solution in about 1 month.
