Chest
36 slots that keep what you gather; two side by side make a 72-slot double chest.
In the game
How to get it
Eight cells of wood or planks around an empty middle: a chest of that wood. A key in the middle makes a chest with a lock.
What it is for
Store everything your bag cannot carry; its contents stay on the server and survive restarts.
Why it exists
Your bag fills up fast: a base starts with a chest.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The chest is storage you can build from your first tree.
Recipe
Eight cells of logs or Planks in a ring, the middle empty: one chest in the colour of that wood.
How it works
- 36 slots: 3 rows of 12, the size of your bag.
- Double chest: two chests facing the same way side by side join into one of 72 slots. Never three.
- Right click opens it; every player around sees the lid open while someone looks inside. It closes when you walk 8 m away.
- Its screen sorts the contents ("Sort"), and the usual mouse rules move stacks.
- Contents live on the server and survive restarts. Breaking a chest scatters its contents on the ground.
With a lock
Put a key in the middle of the ring instead of nothing: a chest with a lock. Right click it with a key to assign it; from then on only that key opens it -- or breaks it.
Other storage
The Wardrobe (36 slots) and the Nightstand (12) open like a chest.
A chest of 36 slots, facing you. Two side by side make a large chest. Broken, it spills what it held.
