With the introduction of CREATIONS in June, we've been gifted a couple of mods that have made the builder's life much easier. Off and on I've used Sculley's Emporium, which contains literally hundreds of base-game assests converted to buildable items that can be created and placed directly from the build menu.
I shall continue to experiment, but the modders are coming up with some briliant ideas.
"Cobbles" in Starfield
Infirmary on a ship with "floating" cabinets allowing space for the bed (above) and a similar cabinet setup with a "cobbled" pegboard for tool storage (right).
In-game inspo for lockers found in Deimos habs, like the Captain's Quarters of the Razorleaf
My version of lockers using the back of the Water Cooler furnishing (the silver piece at the top reminds me of the number tags on the lockers from High School).
I toyed around with making the lift-to-open lever using an empty oxygen booster, a jigger (a measuring cup used when making cocktails), and a pepper shaker.
The pepper shaker was the clear winner for me and has been my go-to locker latch since.
Tool Storage
One of the pegboards I've created until we have access to the in-game version.
The desire to store my tools on the wall as seen in-game drove me to try to create my own pegboard. I originally tried using pens, bottle openers, and sand garden tools as supports for the hanging tools.
Pens are the clear winner, and I've used this method to "hang" tools on my latest ship build and in outposts.
Random Experiments
A heating or cooling unit. Placed backwards on a wall shelf, the coffee machine is "hooked" up to the wall using a high-speed digital cable.
The back of two smaller coffee makers look like speakers, or vents of some kind.
2 different versions of the high-speed data cables placed close enough to appear connected.
