Add a large exterior storage device that holds a single resource type

I, like many others, enjoy collecting an obscene amount of resources. Currently, there isn’t a convinient way to store hundreds of resource nuggets. I propose a large storage container, like a big silo that you place just outside your base, that can hold a large amount of a single type of resource.

When its empty you can place any resource into it, but once that first resource is in the silo, that becomes the only type of resource that can be added until it’s empty again. Only holding a single type of resource at a time would prevent players from just building a couple silos and stuffing all their items inside. Lockers would still be used for equipment and rare resources, while the big silos would be used for common resources like Titanium and Copper.

Maybe the UI for the silo could be different from the UI of other containers. No need to see every slot in the silo when they all have the same resource.

This idea is inspired by the Resource Canister from the game Astroneer, which has basically the same function and is incredibly important in any decently-sized base.
