The first chest dummy is finished!
As this is mega early game I don't think there will be more chests needed.
You can carry two chests with you, one in each hand, technically that alone gives you an extra 16 slots of inventory space. 8 slots per chest.
I am still trying to find posture appreciating mechanics and I like the auto opening when dropped.
That way you don't need to crouch to interact with chests and it's convenient for seated players.
The chest handles themselves can be grabbed, but also distance grabbed, therefore you don't need to get into the vicinity of the handle if you don't care/can't.
Currently it is within base building, you can place it with all the snapping that comes with it.
But unlike other machines, you can pick it up and carry with you, if you like.
