Canisters

Canisters are containers that hold various items.

Small Canister
Small Canisters are crafted in the Backpack in the early game and allows for easy manipulation of terrain. These are also used to fill Soil Centrifuges directly.

Medium Soil Canister
Medium Soil Canisters are crafted in the Small Printer and allows for greater storage of Soil, up to 16 times the amount a Small Canister can hold. Small Canisters can both deposit and withdraw soil from the Medium Soil Canister, allowing for some automation of filling a Soil Centrifuge. These also pair well with Pavers and Drills to quickly gather soil and pave pathways.

Medium Resource Canister
Medium Resource Canisters are crafted in the Small Printer and allows players to store resources, holding 32 nuggets (8 more nuggets than a Medium Storage Silo). They are useful when used with other Automation items.

Large Resource Canister
Large Resource Canisters are crafted in the Medium Printer and allows players to store the maximum amount of resources possible, at 400. This is 16 greater than a Large Storage Silo B holding 12 Medium Resource Canisters. When paired with other Automation items, they can allow players to craft a great amount of items without needing to interact with modules.

Other Canisters
Items such as Atmospheric Resources and Hydrazine come in their own versions of canisters, which disappear once the resource inside is used up.
