this part however i dont like
Metal Chests have had their material costs increased significantly. They are now smaller in what they can hold and liftable when full. They also take significantly more time to destroy and will not decay when left off claim.
i actually was not happy when they made the normal chests liftable with things inside but i was fine with it with the knowlage that the metal chest still used that mechanic atleast. It is a first defence to keep you most percious things somewhat safe from the riff raff theifs, you basically need a really hight stat char to get the stuff inside since you need to brake it in place, with any defence system present.
ye perhaps right now, it has been overpowered because of the overpowered defence system on the claims, but i bet you are planning on changing that part and when you do this new chest mechanic will make the metal chests useless and not worth making over a normal chest. you made it "take significantly more time to destroy" well that wont help in anyway since people will just lift it off the claim just like they do with normal chests and brake them far away from the claim or even bring them home in a sled. so why would i spend more ingredients on a chest that is just as easy to steal as a normal chest, and with less space aswell :/.
i dont see how this chest change was needed at all, personally i hate it. it was fine as it was. No big issue if they are more expensive to make though, they should be expensive to make.
