How do you open Wooden Crates?

[Tim McRae]

I have a bunch of closed wooden crates, but I have no clue how to open them. Any thoughts?

They don't open, they're essentially decorative.  Except you can also sell them to traders.

For people in the future, now you put them into the crafting grid to make them open crates. A very dumb and inelegant solution for a game thats so interactive. I should just be able to make them open in the real world.

 

We should be making as few things crafting grid actions as possible.

Yea, i agree with that.

 

Vintage story would be so good if simple things like this were real world actions, but i suppose we might get a 'de-interfacing' update where they make hundreds of small things like this real world interactions

I think this already changed. I use them just the same way as normal crates, the only difference is you cannot put a label on them and that they can contain 16 stacks (1024 standard items) and not 20 (1280 items) as crates made from planks.
