Wooden Chest

Wooden Chest is a placeable storage container in Windrose. A plain wooden chest, the standard choice for a captain's room or trader's stockroom. It opens a 28-slot inventory window, which any character with edit access to the base can deposit into or withdraw from.

In-Game Description

Allows you to store your belongings. Capacity: 28 slots.

How to Use

Place the container during base construction, then walk up and interact to open the inventory grid. Drag and drop items between the player inventory and the container slots, or use the standard sort and stack shortcuts. A loose chest can be picked up and re-placed without losing its contents, which makes reorganisation safe.

Attach a Label to mark the chest's intended contents. Labels are purely visual but make a wall of identical chests far easier to navigate.

Decay

This container decays over time outside Bonfire range. Keep storage placed within the protective radius of a fueled Bonfire, or the structure will start losing health and eventually break, dropping its contents on the ground for any nearby player to scoop up.

Other Storage Options

The Wooden Chest is the baseline locker, but Windrose offers larger and themed containers for a maturing base. The Wrought Iron Chest and Weathered Chest hold more and look the part in a captain's quarters, while bulk goods fit better in a Storage Crate, Storage Barrel, Storage Sack, or Storage Basket. See Storage Containers for the full list and the Storage overview for how container access works in co-op bases.

Tips

• Build several identical chests and tag each with a Label so a storage wall stays sorted at a glance.

• Keep every container inside a fuelled Bonfire radius; a chest that decays to zero health breaks and spills its contents on the ground.

• Chests can be picked up and moved with their contents intact, so reorganising a base is safe.

• In co-op, only players with edit access to the base claim can open or move placed containers.
