My husband and are on day 46 of our first survival game. Today we decided we should upgrade to the large chest for our items. We had no idea this would cause all of our thousands of items to disappear! Who thought this was a good design idea?! Every other game would just drop said items on the ground. I wish at the very least the game would warn you that dismantling the chest would delete all items inside. :( Please change this in a future patch!
External link →Hello OP! On behalf of our team, we agree, and apologize this was the case.
I just wanted to come by and confirm that with our next update, we've now enabled a failsafe meaning that if there are items in a Chest, it will NOT be able to be dismantled.
The update will be coming early 2023 (very soon) and we'll post the full patch notes here as soon as the update drops!
It was one of the big things that came up when that update was released. I haven't played much since then but it's mad to see that hasn't been patched still.
Hey! We have enabled a failsafe in our next update that will prevent this from happening if there are items remaining in a Chest!
