Buried Supplies chest Tier 1, 2 and 3 can accidentally collapse and result in quest failing.

Just tested Reproduce step number 3 (the before-exclamation issue) . It still happens in a20 b218.

 

1. Take a Buried Supplies quest from the trader:

 

2. Go to the Buried Supplies' quest location:

 

3.Dig before hitting the exclamation (to ensure 100%  quest failure just dig all the area 5-7 blocks deep with whatever is faster).

 

4.Notice the floating exclamation. Not hit accept and see the chest appear and fall and break into iron. You failed the quest.

 

 

Expected result: Chest should just spawn and float in that location if this happens. So it shouldn't have structural integrity code nor physics at all, like the Fetch quests' satchel.

Edit: Typo on the previous post: 

4. "Now" hit accept and see the chest appear and fall and break into iron.

This doesn't seem like an issue that would come into play unless it was forced, as evidenced by your provided scenarios. Floating chest aren't an intended design for this particular quest. Thanks!

It wasn't forced. That second post was just for show, to show you what happen and to reproduce the issue 100% like you guys claim to love. It actually happened to me by breaking a rock right next to the chest. And you now how diamond blocks go in 7dtd: you might think it's on the side but it's whatever and this issue will happen much more now that players force the circle to farm zds.

 

Please, reactivate the bug, and ask Lathan about it, because it doesn't make sense to lose a chest like that. Neither realistic nor common sense. It doesn't even turn into a bag, you just lose the quest instantly. 

 

Please. The satchel doesn't make sense either, but the design is clear and it floats to avoid precissely THIs issue. Ask the team before you dismiss this one, because it became an important issue for the circle-zd farming players in a20.

 

Thank you for your concern, however I'm not going to discuss internal procedure with you. Just know that I did bring it up in a group setting and spoke with Lathan about the intended design before doing anything with your report. Thanks!

Oh, I know, I spoke to Lathan. He deems buried supplies too lenient already to do that, which I agree. So as far as realism go, while not very accurate, it's just another way in which things can go wrong. I get that, even if it's "cheap".

 

BUT ! Just remember, if you do plenty of quests and eventually the chest spawns in the same place which you already digged, then it WILL fail. Bug then. Hence why I'm insisting so much.

Ok, this MIGHT be the use case not covered, or it might actually be covered so that there is no possible way for a dig quest to spawn in the same location twice, I don't know.  

 

What I do know is that TFP changed this on purpose specifically because(at least in part that is) due to people(lol, mostly because at least some of The Fun Pimps themselves do it) using Dynamite rather than digging.   With the addition of the chance spawns each x blocks players really need to be down in the hole so to  speak.

True. I actually meant Multiplayer you can actually get repeated quests in the same place and if you digged a bit the chest insta-collapses (because it spawns in the exact same place across players). Also, digging before hitting the exclamation can result in insta collapse. And ALSO, taking the buried supplies before the other stuff inside and exiting the inventory makes all the content disappear along with the chest.

 

Everything can be solved by just making the chest not have physics like the Fetch satchel. And when the player takes everything inside it should banish, period. Somehow TFP are still thinking about it. Let's not "bury" such a well "supplied" topic. You dig the suggestion, don't you? 

Dynamite isn't abundant in a normal gameplay. To each their own. Why waste in the quest when you can use to dig something else? It's emergent gameplay though, and players are allowed to use it at their own risk. The chest collapsing is ridiculous, not realistic and a cheap move to maybe avoid... what exactly? emergent gameplay with dynamite? 

(To be clear, making the chest float isn't realistic either, but you fix ALL the edge cases, which is a good trade off).
