Steel Reinforced Chest vs Decorative Chest

[Maria]

Can make steel reinforced chest now as finally built the good forge, but read somewhere that it has the same storage capacity of the decorative chest at 35. Has this been fixed or still the same?

Not crafted an wrought iron chest yet, but from what I've seen they are bigger than the decorative chest. Are they the same 35 storage capacity as well?

The bigger the chest the more storage it should hold. I would expect for the expense of building a steel chest and the space it would take up, I should get 100 slots. Would be really nice as I hate juggling between 35 storage chests. Maybe it can get fixed in next update if not already fixed?

Yeah, it is like that since at least Alpha 2 and MF knows that very well, was mentioned enough by players, but the devs didn't changed anything. They only increased all chest with more slots and didn't used that opportunity to fix that decorative chest. It is dumb, that this pretty easy craftable chest hat the same space as a much more difficult to craft chest which is also bigger.

Why do you destroy the value of higher-value crafting items with something like this? It makes not only no sense, it also makes the developers themselves look bad, because it causes disappointment among players, even though they have it so easily in their own hands that this doesn't happen.

I just can't understand something like that, as a developer you're only hurting yourself. If you fail at something so simple, it doesn't exactly give you confidence as a player into them.

They possibly have 2 problems:
- being an indie studio, the programmers are not experienced
- the managers are not able to organize their work and the communication between Helsinki, Reykjavik and Paris offices

Well, you don't need to be a developer to understand the issue with that chests. You may not even need to be a programmer to change the chest sizes (likely that data is stored in a database table). So, yeah, maybe a communication issue.

worst: it seems they don't play their game...a lack of sense for every number value in this game

good for leveling blacksmith & carpentry

Don't be so cynical everyone. This is probably a to do, but lower on the list of priorities. They are working on much more pressing issues right now. Like Server stability, game stability, code error repair that is currently causing player crashes and the like. No need to insult the devs or the management. That is un-cool.
Getting larger chests was a good thing. Even though the largest aren't updated yet.

I can probably tell you that chest is for pvp areas or whatever future as it is more sturdy and durable than your cheap built chest with same slots.
