About the PR

This PR changes the storage implant's inventory size to be compromised by two L-shaped areas, totaling 6 slots.

Why / Balance

The storage implant is the most-purchased traitor item in the game, and was shadowbuffed with the grid inventory update to be able to contain a lot more than original. More information here: #36145

The choice to make it 2 Ls was to reduce the number of slots to 2~ items while still allowing small guns to fit in the implant.

Technical details

Just yaml.

Worth posting the result of the maintainer discussion from #36145 here as well:

Heyo! After a discussion within the maintainer team we've reached the following conclusion:

The storage implant should be nerfed, but there was no consensus on what functionality would have the most impact. Since the implant was shadowbuffed when gridinventory was introduced by increasing the storage size, the choice was made to split this PR up in two parts and monitor the effects of merging a storage size reduction first. We'll return in about a month's time and reevaluate the change, and if necessary look at some sort of blacklist or similar solution for objective items.

As per the author's request, this PR will remain as the blacklist PR, and a new PR will be opened targetting storage size. Maintainers decided upon 2x L-shape = L⅂ = 6 slots which had unanimous approval.

Again I'll state here:

The current storage the storage implant has was never intended. It was accidentally shadowbuffed when Gridinv was made but it went way under the radar until now.

Accidental buffs and nerfs are suppose to be basically reverted instantly on discovery.

So this PR is putting it to what it should be.

After the syndicate backpack buff I'm a fan of more cursed grid inv layouts

Pay 2 TC for a smuggler's satchel. Or just get one out of a clothesmat. They are pretty handy

I like this but I propose both L's be in the same orientation for maximum cursedness

100% out of curiosity, since I didn't start playing till after the gridinv was introduced, what was the original capacity of the storage implant?

Difference being you can easily inspect slime internal storage

And opening slime storage is technically more unergonomic and slower (which can matter quite a lot when trying to quickly hide items). Just saying, opening storage implant can be done with one key press whereas you have to move your mouse to the player + click and then move it to a button + click, which while it doesn't sound like much, but does make it the slowest inventory to open in the game.
