After claiming a town, I wanted to remove all the empty unlocked chests in the town. Upon breaking like 5 chests, the chests would no longer break. I thought I must have been lagging or something, then tried reloading the chunks, and relogging. When the problem occurred again, I then asked a staff member (@Unique_Beagle ) to break the chests for me. He too was able to break about 5, then the exact same problem happened to him. The chests have no locks on them.
Tested with a total of ~150 chests, I can't reproduce it. Are you trying to break single or double chests? Were they unlocked via a LWC removal, or were they already accessible without the need to file one? Are there any use/interact flags active in the town?
They are mostly double chests, but it will also occur on single chests as well. They have no LWCs on them, and didn't need a removal, they were found like that. No flags at all. The chests were empty.
Ok so I just tried to replicate the bug, using chests that I just placed, and it didn't work. Originally the chests were really old, because I had just claimed the town and was clearing out the old unlocked empty chests. Do you think it could have to with the chests being old or something? Maybe @a_man21 or @Unique_Beagle can describe it better, because I showed them and they were able to replicate it on my plot too.
I tried it out with about a stack of chests in pacificland as well as my town, I was able to destroy all of the chests I placed. From what I can tell it seems to just be the old chests that @VivienLeigh found in her town. For the chests that @VivienLeigh found in the town before, I was only able to destroy 5 or 6 of them.
@VivienLeigh @a_man21 give me co-ordinates of these chests and I'll hop in game and check it out if you like. (Unless you already had them removed)
The only chests that I saw this issue were in @VivienLeigh 's town that she claimed, I don't remember what it is called.
