is it possible to add an option to display an, what item is inside the storage so, yeah I guess we could, but here's the thing with the the signs that we want to avoid as much as we can we want to avoid as much as we can signs that need to update because when you have a lot of signs, then we we do something where we try to reduce how often things update as much as possible it's like a typical like, I don't know you would say it's like a it's not like a mantra but like it's like it's like not philosopher but like it's it's we try to strive to make it so that like we don't want things to update as often we try to reduce that as much as possible and that's one of those things where like if we add that then there can be significant performance, issues, you know it was a thing with with lights right lights are very expensive and when we decided whether whether or not we should add that it's like we have to weigh the cost of adding this new feature versus the benefits and like what you get out of it as player versus like the performance cost of it, because we do have a performance budget that we need to keep I'm not saying that we have a specific number in mind but we do have to think about these things and like make sure that we don't you know keep the budget that we have and that is one of those things that are very expensive and you get don't get as much from it, so so that's the main reason why we had haven't added it it's possible to add it but it needs it needs to be justified in that case needs to justify the performance loss
