    Title: Chest in The Epitaph completely empty
    Reproduction Rate: 1/1
    Blocker?
    Details: The chest located at the location below, was not giving any loot. I would have expected it to at least have the "basic" chest loot items within it? Typically all containers in scenes, at least have something.
    Steps to Reproduce: Open chest at the location stated below. Observe nothing at all in the chest.

    Thanks for the report! Issue #71108

    The reason why this usually happens is because sometimes we place containers that have no loot by default. The worldbuilder that placed the chest seemingly forgot to attach an appropriate loot bundle. I'll get that done.

    I looked into this yesterday. The chest actually does have a proper loot bundle, but there was a chance that nothing would be generated on a restock. I made a change and now there will always be something in one of these chests when freshly stocked.

    Thank you! Just to clarify (from a player perspective):
    • Episode 1 (older scenes) may have chest that can have a chance to not have any items in the container, depending on the designer of the scene. This is expected.
    • Episode 2 scenes and newer will typically be set to at least contain "something".
    I believe this would be correct? I think when you have been adding new scenes, you are at least ensuring containers will at least always have "something" moving forward.

    This is correct, but lame. Anytime a player finds a "fresh" chest/container that has nothing in it, feel free to submit a bug report and I'll look into adding in a bare minimum so it never starts empty.

    This is correct. I've been trying to better manage loot from containers in Episode 2 and ensure they all have at least 1 thing in them when they start/restock.
