Proposal: Add a chest to the start of the game.

I was thinking of adding this suggestion to my thread about having a broken silo, but I feel like every suggestion needs its own header, even if it's a small change. If there is no thread specifically suggesting something (or if it's not in the common suggestion sticky thread), then I have to assume that it has not been considered.

Alright, I feel like you should have a chest in your house, or a suggestion to create a chest. I don't recall any in-game hints directing you to the crafting system, and it's something you can easily miss for awhile. Again, chests are one of the first things you should be doing in the game. Everything should be collected, and you can lose quite a bit if you don't realize that you can make them for the first few days.

If you have a chest in the house, you may as well make it a part of the parsnip present. You open the present, you find a chest, you open the chest, and get the parsnips. Alternatively, you could make, say, that logging area image on the outside of the house into a chest location, just like the fridge is when you upgrade the house. I don't know about anyone else, but I clicked on that because I thought that maybe the logs stored meant you could add resources to the spot. It doesn't really stand out much though, so you might need to add a little something to cause players to click on it.

I would personally prefer a quest to build your own chest though, maybe have it trigger after gathering 50 wood.

Again, hand holding is not something this game does, and I don't want it to, but there should be a nudge somewhere directing you towards the crafting system.

The nudge towards the crafting system is the quest to make a Scarecrow.

Oh. Right. I remember that now. Fair. Scarecrow is a fairly important one too.

Alright then, forget building a chest quest. I'll stick with just putting the parsnips in a chest to start, or making it a piece of furniture. No reason to not have a chest at the start of the game.

Yeah, one of the first things I do in a new save is chop up branches and chop down trees until I have enough wood to make a chest.
