In this The Last Caretaker Patch 5.5 guide video, I finally test the new containers properly and answer the question everyone has been asking: which storage container is actually the best?
The answer depends on what you are storing and how much chaos you are willing to tolerate. For electricity, the medium batteries are usually the most practical choice. They are space efficient, easy to place, and much cleaner than trying to stack endless small batteries everywhere. In open spaces, small batteries can technically become more efficient if you stack them on top of medium batteries, but that also creates more cable management problems.
For closed ship spaces, especially under the captain area, medium batteries can be very strong because you can fit them tightly against the walls and get more total battery capacity in the same usable space. If you care about clean layouts and simple wiring, medium batteries are probably the best normal-player option.
For fuel and gas storage, the large containers are better if you want a clean and simple build. They now hold much more, they are easier to manage, and they avoid some of the cable nightmare that comes from using many smaller canisters. If you do not want your ship to look like a storage accident, large tanks are the safer choice.
But if you only care about maximum space efficiency, the small canisters are secretly the strongest option. They can stick to each other, stack in strange ways, and fit into spaces that the big containers cannot use. With enough patience and absolutely no concern for visual sanity, you can fit far more total fuel storage into the same footprint by stacking many small canisters together.
This is what I call the Dandian method: build a cursed container tower, hide the abomination if you must, and enjoy maximum capacity in minimum space. It is ugly, it creates cable nightmares, and it may emotionally damage every organized player watching, but it works.
I also compare open-space setups, closed-space setups, vertical stacking, wall-step placement, medium container arrangements, and large tank layouts. The final result is simple: use medium batteries for practical electricity, large tanks for clean fuel storage, and small canisters if you want the most efficient but most cursed setup possible.
This guide should help you decide how to rebuild your ship after Patch 5.5, especially if you are preparing for a full ship overhaul, larger storage systems, more fuel reserves, stronger battery banks, and future updates.

What is The Last Caretaker?
The Last Caretaker is an oceanic survival-crafting FPS where you play as a reawakened machine on a flooded Earth. Your mission is to salvage humanity’s future by sailing across a drowned world, scavenging resources, rebuilding lost technology, defending key systems, recovering human seed vaults, and launching the last survivors into orbit.
The game mixes survival crafting, first-person exploration, base building, ocean travel, resource management, defensive strategy, combat, ship upgrades, storage systems, council progression, and a story-driven mission about rebuilding humanity after civilization has been swallowed by the sea.
Is The Last Caretaker For You?
If you enjoy games like Subnautica, The Long Dark, or survival-crafting games with a strong mission, The Last Caretaker may be for you. It is especially good for players who enjoy ocean exploration, salvaging, base building, ship builds, resource systems, strange experiments, and long-term progression.
