This is organizer for Nucleum boardgame with all current expansions (latest one is Gibraltar). My main goal was to speed up setup. Because of many big expansions when game setup requires looking into main setup rulebook and a lot of additional rulebooks for the setup changes. So I wanted to fix it and printed required quantities of components on the trays holding them. Another mean to quicken setup is sorting. I've sorted contracts and tiles by expansions (sometimes by type), so you know exactly what you need to add during setup depending of the chosen map. And next goal was to have as fewest boxes as possible. Because of second goal I decided to put all of the maps and boards to the expansion box (any of Gibraltar, energy research institute, court of progress of Australia will do). Experiment action tiles, special turbines and all experiment specific components also went over there. Rest of the components are in the base game box. Experiments technologies tray are very large (284x255), so I've cut it to two pieces, so you can print it in A1/P1S or any larger machine. I personally own 310 bedslinger to print big parts, so I used it, you can find uncut version in STL/CAD files download. Another thing you need to know is - I throwed most of the board overlays into the drawer. That goes to contracts overlay, game track overlay and Gibraltar new public buildings board. For a Gibraltar you have a tray you can put directly in play, rest of the stuff IMO are really don't needed at all. Court of Progress overlays obviously required, so those have dedicated place.

Nuances:

• Contracts have “tiles” section. You place all contracts related to the amount of action tiles in there. Expansions say to ditch them, but Australia have matching ones for a slightly larger amount. In our games we use basic ones when playing base game only and AU ones when playing with any expansion

• I decided to store all buildings and mines directly in player boards. I also printed 2mm thick resource trackers instead of base bricks, so I can even out stored boards and I could throw bricks out of the box. In the result I didn't had to throw bricks out, they fit easily into players trays but I kept resource trackers embedded in player boards.

• I don't have any promos apart from additional military techs for Gibraltar. So I accounted only for those. Some of the promos can easily fit into player trays, another option is to use big compartment for a nuclear stations. You might have smaller ones, standard ones indeed smaller. not much place to fit more though unfortunately

• I accounted for extra space for two more experiments. Don't know why and if those will ever come anyway they would probably be accompanied by much more content than just those. But both action tiles and technologies boards can fit 2 more experiments.

• Expansion box have significant lid lift (see comments for additional photos).

In the result my average setup time of 50+ minutes cut down to 18 when setting up Gibraltar map for 3 players (with rubble tiles).

P.S. No solo components will fit! I never play solo, so when I buy the game I always throw solo components in a separate drawer, which I open only to throw more solo components in there.
