The iron crates are 100% ideal for storage, you can place them ideally in a Shelf.

what do you call a shelf? I can put a BM chest onto a 'shelf' made of 2 1x1 floor tiles embedded into the wall just fine. They are a little fat for it, but that is purely cosmetic. Do you want a cosmetic solution, or ?? or just don't like the way they look period?

I dunno about cosmetic. But I have like 500 unused black iron and a need for iron support beams almost constantly. It was like logging in to get 2 stacks of iron for free, which I gladly will take to burn some of the unused metal and recover the valuable iron.

You got me all excited thinking that I could make BM posts, but I assume you mean that you will re-build your iron chests with BM to recover the iron. That's nice, but that's not going to use up my chests of BM. :-)

Black metal chests also require tar, which I haven't found in my main works, and my not. Is the only way to get it through the black blobs? I got some in one of my other worlds, but there are only a few of those blobs, so it seems like it could be a long process collecting it.

Is there nothing you can do with the tarpit? I saw some of what looked like balls of tar in the tarpit, but couldn't figure out how to remove them.
