A shelf is an item of furniture that holds up to six stacks of items, similar to a stockpile. It also protects these items from deterioration and removes their beauty penalty. Their default setting is to contain general items at the "Prefered" priority level, however this can be changed at will. Shelves can be reinstalled as needed and slow, but do not block, passage.

The shelf's beauty depends on both the material it is built from as well as its quality. Similar to grand sculptures or beds, its beauty will be added to the underlying tile. Additionally, any items stored within it will remove the -4 ugliness penalty they would otherwise have if left on the ground.

Acquisition

Constructing a shelf requires the Complex Furniture research to be complete, 20 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 200 for SMVs), 500 ticks (8.33 secs) of work.

Analysis

A shelf's main use is to store items. Each shelf can store 3 items per tile, which is thrice the storage space. They can store and "mask" many ugly items in your workstation, allow more meat into your freezer, protect weapons and mortar shells from deterioation, etc. The removal of beauty penalty and their slight beauty boost make shelves useful anywhere you want quick access to items, like medicine in a hospital.

Shelves can make workers more efficent. Unlike actual storage zones, shelves allow a pawn to place or remove an item without walking on top of them. Working pawns can pick items off an adjacent shelf without needing to leave their seat, which significantly improves crafting time. This technique is best combined with "drop on floor when finished" and having other pawns restock the shelves.

Styles

Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.

Version history

Alpha 16, it was known as the Equipment rack and could only store apparel, mortar shells, or weapons.
0.17.1546 - renamed from Equipment rack to Shelf, can now store anything instead of only apparel, mortar shells, and weapons
1.1.0 - Shelves were given a path cost. This made them slower to move on top of, but also enabled the behavior of placing items on them without walking on top of them. Prior to this, players would use the "stool trick" for crafting stations, where several stools were placed around a crafting station that had high-priority stockpiles on top of them. Stools had a path cost (but allowed stockpile zones), achieving a similar effect. Description now states that they hide beauty of things inside of them.
1.4 - Shelves can now hold 3 items stacks per tile, or 6 tiles total. Removed ability to store chunks, corpses, minified buildings, and other large items.

-Shelves have three primary uses: to protect the items from the environment, to allow for efficient hauling and to negate the penalties from seeing the items in the shelf.
+A shelf's main use is to store items. Each shelf can store 3 items per tile, which is thrice the storage space. They can store and "mask" many ugly items in your workstation, allow more [[meat]] into your freezer, protect weapons and mortar shells from [[deterioation]], etc. The removal of beauty penalty and their slight beauty boost make shelves useful anywhere you want quick access to items, like medicine in a hospital.
-The effect of the first is simple. Shelves protect their contents from [[deterioration]] when placed outdoors and/or in unroofed areas.  This makes them useful to preserve weapons, armor, and [[mortar shell]]s close to [[defense structures]].
+Shelves can make workers more efficent. Unlike actual storage zones, shelves allow a pawn to place or remove an item without walking on top of them. Working pawns can pick items off an adjacent shelf without needing to leave their seat, which significantly improves crafting time.  This technique is best combined with "drop on floor when finished" and having other pawns restock the shelves.
-Secondly, while effectively acting as Stockpiles otherwise, Shelves allow a pawn to place or remove an item without walking on top of them, making frequent hauling tasks marginally quicker.  The direction a shelf faces is purely cosmetic; a pawn can interact with it from any adjacent tile. Thus, a pawn seated at a crafting station can pick ingredients directly off of adjacent shelves without having to leave their seat, significantly improving overall crafting time.  This technique is best combined with "drop on floor when finished" and having other pawns restock the shelves.
-Lastly, they negate the beauty penalty of the items they store, typically -4, while also providing their own small amount of beauty on top of that. As you'd expect, they also prevent pawns from observing corpses, and thus prevent the [[Mood#Misc| mood debuff]] from seeing them. This makes them great for holding high negative beauty items, allowing easy storage of human corpses in a freezer without affecting the pawns using it, or to cut down on both travel time and the beauty penalty in rooms [[Room stats|sensitive]] to the penalty, such as by storing [[medicine]] in hospitals.
