Portable Storage Bin

A Portable Storage Bin is a single-material container that installs into a Cargo Rack‘s internal slot. On its own, a portable bin stores nothing. Installed, it adds its rated capacity to the vehicle’s cargo and accepts one material or item id at a time.

Use item id "portable_bin" for the standard bin and "heavy_portable_bin" for the heavy bin when calling self.install(...).

The first unit loaded into the bin latches that id; subsequent units must match. When send() empties the bin to zero, it unassigns and is ready for any material or item on the next trip.
