Hello! I am having an issue with the new big chest and disappearing prismatic shards. I am running version 1.6.8 on MacOS Ventura, using Steam, single-player, playing in English.
For context: I decided to upgrade my crafting chests to one big chest and I went to work transferring my items (wood, stone, gems, shards, etc.), it was late but I finished and went to bed. (This was before a kind redditor pointed out that I could just put the big chest into an existing chest and it would automatically increase the capacity). Next day, I open the chest and all four of my shards were missing. I checked every chest I had and they were gone. I searched the forums for this issue and I've seen zero posts about this anywhere. I got mad so I quit for the day. Today, I get over myself and boot up Stardew again, check the chest, they're still gone. So I go to the skull caverns hoping for some reprieve, and by chance I found a shard! Yay!
I decided to risk it for the biscuit and put it in my new chest. I figured, worst case its gone and I can just know to have a dedicated prismatic shard chest and I do few SC runs to make up for it. Best case, its still there. So, I go to bed. Next day comes, my shard is still there, yay! I do my errands, go to Qi for a challenge and pick up the Extended Family. I just unlocked the mini forge so I go home and make the forge to enchant my brand new advanced iridium rod using my one shard. I spent the rest of the day fishing but caught nothing and wasted my curiosity lure, so I decided to restart the day, hoping for better prospects.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. I go to my chest to grab my shard to re-enchant my rod, and guess what? My shard is GONE. Recall, I restarted the day AFTER I had gone to the SC, my stuff had already saved.
So, my theory is this: If you manually transfer items (particularly a prismatic shard) to a big chest, then restart the day, it will delete your shards from the big chest. Again, I've seen no posts about this, so this is all my speculation and theory.
TL;DR: There may be a bug where putting a prismatic shard in a big chest, then restarting the day, causes your shards to disappear.
