Storage Hunters: Open World Museum Update Guide

What Changed in This Update

This update spreads its changes across collecting, vehicles, mutations and settings. If you only have a few minutes, visit the Museum first, check the event collections and review the new auction warning option before returning to your usual farming route.

How the Museum Works

The Museum is located at the Shopping Mall. You can place an item on display, and the displayed item's value contributes a luck bonus while it remains there. Your bonus depends on the item you use, so compare several valuable items before choosing a long-term display.

• Use a high-value item when you want the strongest available display bonus.
• Leave the item displayed while farming if the extra luck is more useful than selling it immediately.
• Return when the Museum gift timer finishes to claim the reward.
• Check the active countdown and reward when you place an item because Museum gifts can vary.

Train and Tractor Vehicle Notes

The Train is a limited, high-capacity vehicle aimed at large hauling runs, while the Tractor adds another utility option. Compare both against your current capacity and route before spending, and check whether either vehicle is still available in the shop.

Showcased and Perfect Mutations

Two mutation-related mechanics were highlighted. Showcased is tied to the Museum gift system and increases display luck. Perfect is a washing result with stricter requirements than Pure or Spotless.

• Do not wash a valuable Dirty item casually if you are targeting a specific result.
• Confirm that the item also has Mint before expecting a chance at Perfect.
• Check the item's final value in game before trading around either new mutation.

Rainy and Moonlit Exclusive Items

The Exclusive collection now separates Rainy and Moonlit event items. These items can appear in auctions around the map while their matching event is active, so follow the event timer instead of camping one area.

• Farm during the matching weather or night event instead of camping one auction area.
• Check all accessible auction pools while the event timer is running.
• Use the Exclusive item page to compare the Rainy and Moonlit collections before deciding what to keep.

Farmyard, Lucky Beach and Cargo Ship Changes

Several existing areas also received collection changes. Farmyard gained improved loot and the Cow, listed at a $650 base value. Lucky Beach received additional finds, while the Cargo Ship collection reward now requires full-page completion rather than an earlier partial milestone.

Shop Slots, Storage Boxes and Settings

The quieter changes may save more time than the headline features. A second shop plot layout costs 500 Diamonds, Huge and Tiny mutations can affect storage-box capacity, and two settings make auction decisions easier.

• Use additional shop layouts when you want separate display or storage builds.
• Check slot count before relying on a Huge or Tiny mutated storage box.
• Set an auction-leave confirmation threshold so you do not abandon a valuable lot by mistake.
• Open Accessory Stats in settings to review what your equipped accessories actually change.

Best Order to Check the Update

You do not need to test every feature at once. Use this short route to understand the update without burning cash on unfamiliar items or upgrades.

• Visit the Shopping Mall and inspect the Museum display and gift timer.
• Check the vehicle shop for the current Train and Tractor listings.
• Review the Rainy and Moonlit collection tabs before the next event starts.
• Confirm your auction-leave threshold and Accessory Stats settings.
• Use the item wiki and calculator for familiar items, then compare new mutation outcomes with the value shown in game.
