Filing Cabinet

The Filing Cabinet is a storage building used for hard copy employee records. It appears as a workplace office fixture rather than a production machine, and its flavor text emphasizes that the documents inside have been shredded, destroyed, or otherwise reduced to unusable scraps.

As a piece of base furnishing, it serves mainly as set dressing for offices, administrative rooms, and other human-made interiors. It fits the game's recurring theme of bureaucratic remnants scattered through the colony's world, reinforcing the idea that these facilities were once used for formal recordkeeping. Because it is a building rather than a resource or process, it does not interact with colony systems in the way machines, storage lockers, or workstations do.

• It is associated with employee records and paper files, not with liquid, gas, or material storage.
• The cabinet's contents are described as shredded or destroyed, so it has no functional loot or recoverable paperwork.
• It is best understood as a decorative world object that supports the setting of abandoned administrative spaces.

In practice, the Filing Cabinet is useful when you want to furnish a room to look like an office, records room, or administrative area. Its presence helps sell the idea of a pre-existing workplace and gives colonies a more lived-in, structured appearance, even though it does not provide a direct mechanical advantage on its own.
