The object entry places ExpansionPersonalStorageChest in the world at a specific position, orientation, and scale.
Guide Overview
DayZ Expansion Personal Storage Setup
This guide walks through the three main parts of a working personal storage setup: the placed world object, the storage definition file, and the Expansion settings file that controls behavior such as item limits, excluded classes, and menu categories. The long raw text has been cleaned up and fully preserved here in a more readable format.

1. World Object Placement
The storage chest first needs to exist in the world as an Expansion object placed in your mission objects file.
Object JSON

"Objects": [
{
"name": "ExpansionPersonalStorageChest",

1397.7984619140626,

"scale": 0.9999998807907105,
"enableCEPersistency": 0,
"customString": ""
}
]
}
name
The class of the placed world object. Here it is the personal storage chest.
pos / ypr
The exact world coordinates and facing direction of the chest.
enableCEPersistency
Set to 0 here. This keeps the object definition simple and controlled by the Expansion setup.
2. Personal Storage Definition
This file tells Expansion what the placed storage object is, what it should be called in the UI, where it is located, and whether it is personal or global.
File path
/mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/expansion/personalstorage
- StorageID should be unique for each storage config.
- ClassName should match the placed object class.
- Position and Orientation should match the placed object so the config lines up with the actual chest in world.
- IsGlobalStorage set to
0means personal storage, not shared global storage.

3. Expansion Settings File
This settings file enables personal storage, defines the per-storage item limit, blocks specific classes, and builds the storage menu category structure players see.
Enabled
1 means the personal storage system is turned on.
UsePersonalStorageCase
1 means the feature uses the personal storage case/chest behavior.
MaxItemsPerStorage
35 limits how many items can be stored in each personal storage.
Excluded class names
The raw file excludes SurvivorBase and ExpansionMoneyBase, which prevents those classes from being stored.

],
"MenuCategories": [

]
}
4. Menu Categories and Subcategories
The uploaded settings file contains a full category tree. Below is a formatted overview, followed by the uncut full JSON reference.
Top-level categories
| Category | Icon | Main Included Classes | Subcategories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ammo | set:dayz_inventory image:bullets | Ammunition_Base, Box_Base | Ammo-Boxes, Ammo-Bullets |
| Containers | set:dayz_inventory image:barrel | Container_Base | None |
| Consumables | set:dayz_inventory image:food | Edible_Base | Drinks, Fish, Food, Meat, Meds, Vegetables |
| Equipment | set:dayz_inventory image:body | ClothingBase, Clothing_Base | Armbands, Backpacks, Belts, Blouses & Suits, Boots & Shoes, Caps, Coats & Jackets, Eyewear, Ghillies, Gloves, Hats & Hoods, Helmets, Masks, Pants, Shirts, Skirts & Dresses, Sweaters & Hoodies, Vests |
| Explosives | set:dayz_inventory image:explosive | ExplosivesBase, RemoteDetonator, RemoteDetonatorTrigger | None |
| Vehicles | set:dayz_inventory image:cat_vehicle_body | CarScript, BoatScript | None |
| Weapons | set:dayz_inventory image:pistol | Weapon_Base, Weapon, ButtstockBase, OpticBase, Magazine_Base | Attachments, Assault Rifles, Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper-Rifles |
Consumables section
This part of the config splits edible and medical items into focused buckets like drinks, fish, food, meat, meds, and vegetables. That gives the storage UI cleaner browsing instead of one large mixed list.
Equipment section
This is the largest category and covers most wearable gear. It is heavily broken down into clothing-specific subcategories so players can find stored items faster.
5. Practical Setup Workflow
Use this order so the system comes together cleanly.
Step 1
Place the chest in /expansion/objects using the object JSON.
Step 2
Create the matching storage definition in /expansion/personalstorage.
Step 3
Enable and tune the feature in the Expansion personal storage settings file.
Step 4
Make sure the ClassName, Position, and Orientation line up between the placed object and the storage config.
Step 5
Adjust categories only after the base storage works, so troubleshooting stays simple.
Step 6
Restart and test with a few allowed item types first, then test excluded or edge-case items.
6. Troubleshooting Checklist
These are the most likely points of failure based on the configuration structure you uploaded.
If the chest does not work in game
- Check that the world object class is really
ExpansionPersonalStorageChest. - Check that the storage config uses the same class and matching coordinates.
- Check that the settings file has
Enabledset to1. - Check that the storage object actually exists in the mission objects load path.
If specific items will not store
- See whether the item inherits from an excluded class.
- Check whether the item is missing from your intended included class groups.
- Verify whether you are expecting an exact item class or a base class match.
- Review category structure if the item is technically stored but hard to locate in the UI.
