Turn Regular Chests into Big Chests

[rageaholics]

I think it would be sick to add needing a chest to the recipe for the big chests! That way when if you upgrade your chests to big chests, you don't end up with a zillion extra normal chests.

You can do that already, kind of....
You can use a Deconstructor, get 50 wood back and can use that for the Big chest.

From what I've seen, one of the favorite aspects of big chests is that they can be put down without having to remove the existing chest, so unless you craft and remove each chest individually, you'll still end up with as many extra chests.

???
Why?

You build ONE big chest, replace the normal chest directly, deconstruct the normal one and then build the next big chest with the received wood...
Even if you do the same with always five, you will have only five normal chests to deconstruct in the end!

Honestly your solution doesn't really make sense? Like it does functionally in the sense that you wouldn't have leftover chests, but you could also just trash the chests. In your current idea, you still lose the chest anyway so there isn't a net negative to just trashing the chest right now.

Sorry, but I don't get it....

When you do it the way I have described you don't loose any wood and have a minimum leftover.
Trashing everything doesn't give you back any wood and probably you need a lot to replace all normal chests when you do a replacement/upgrade in lategame.

So what's better with trashing???

I was responding to the original post where they wanted the small chest to be consumed when you upgrade it to a large chest. I agree with your method, or just do as I do and endlessly hoard the chests even though I know they'll never get used.
