Containers are an alternative storage system to stockpiles. Each container, regardless of type, can hold up to 10 items[note 1] , but only take up 1 tile of space.
All containers require 3 wood to make, and are crafted on a Carpentry bench and Wood detailer. If you have containers enabled on certain stockpiles, you may order some from the Production Menu and townsfolk will place the container on the stockpile without destroying the stockpile itself.
